The Money Shot

Post by daveboygreen »

Years ago I said on here and elsewhere about what I call 'The Money Shot'

9 dart finish with a 170 out, At the time I thought of it I had it in my head that it was the best leg and highest out in one leg giving it the name...Money Shot, Now years later...Mardle, and every other fecker is on the firm with it screaming for it to happen on TV, Sorry but...It was DBG's shout first!!

Leaving 170 is only a viable option when it is double start, as a bull needs to be hit regardless of the first 8 darts.

Michael Smith left that option tonight, but in all fairness, anyone deliberately leaving 170 for the niner in a normal 501 leg is an idiot.

Only thing is it's not really 'the money shot'

as it doesn't contain the highest start or the highest score in 3 darts

Surely 'the money shot' would be a 151 start on the bull

a 180

followed by the 170 out

Personally I have tried it many times in money leagues that pay out for lowest leg and highest out both straight and double start, Can't see the harm in giving it a go if say I hit a 171 with my first 3 then other player only hits 45 or 41 then I hit two 60's starting my next throw then going tops to leave the 170....But it is much easier for it to be acceptable on a double start format

Whilst would never be in a position to have a dart for a nine dart finish, had my best average of the year tonight at 50.64 over 19 legs.

Fuck all to do with this thread or any other but just thought I would share it with the forum for no other reason than I want to tell someone. :grin:

Suljovic hit a nine-dart finish via the 170-170-161 route a few years ago.

Too easy, DBG has already completed it whilst throwing blindfolded from 15ft with brass darts.

He’s looking for a challenge.
