Very odd.

If you read again what I wrote...Then I wouldn't...If going to the board on 135 and my opponent was not on a finish I would go my preferred way as even if I miss it im gonna leave it handy, Obviously if my opponent is on a finish then im forced to start on the bull.

Exactly. Hence the reasons finishing combinations are subjective.
If your opponent isn't on a finish, go nuts.
Frankly, it makes no difference which way I go as I wouldn't hit it anyway.

Absolutely. That 1hr 10 minute flight from Stansted to Schippol is a bastard.

It's a monster, I don't know how they cope with it. I mean I was fine with my 12 hour flight to Vegas, I just thank god I didn't take my weeks holiday in the Netherlands.

I think he meant sealag not jetlag. The ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam takes around 12 hours.

There is no such word in the English language.
Sitting cooped up on a flight is slightly more taxing than strutting around a ferry drinking.

Phenomenal last 3 legs from Lisa Ashton.

She really is playing well going into Ally Pally and Lakeside and despite both my prediction and bet of a 3-0 win for Dekker, I am beginning to doubt the likelihood of that result.

It does amaze me though that even players that have a decent level of experience lose the plot when the pressure is on and rush the odd finish not thinking and it costs them the leg, Player locally can score well, usually a couple of 140's in a leg but thick as mince when it comes to finishing...Seems to think even on a 3 dart out that his first dart always be at the 60....Seen him many times on 95 and even once on 85 going 60 1st dart

Its amazing that we have a big BDO/WDF/PDC floor/open event winner on here to give us his experience of winning at the highest level.

Oh, hang on....

Words fail.

Was looking forward to the Telnekes vs Montgomery game, and still watching on the laptop, but have put my main screen TV to the Brook vs Zarefa fight.

Have the lap top USBd to the TV so will be switching between HDM1 and HDM2 between rounds of the fight.

Clueless Oche strikes again

The 2 groups which have been fully played he got right so far. Warren and Durrant.

3rd group decided and correct again. Good going Oche!

No no no no he needs to get everything right he predicts!!!!!

5 on the spin now. What a run from Balboa

6 out of 6 now.

5-0 massacre of Montgomery by Derk. Looks like a very good player in the making.

Let's see how much you have had. What are the odds on Oche getting all 8 right.

Oh and whatever odds you set I will take your bet.

Ive had nowt tonight, working 40 miles away from home and got the van to drive back.

If he does get all 8 right then some previous posts are going to look rather stupid.
