Re: BDO close to running out of money
Prize money should have been cut years ago. A cut of 2/3rds would be about right given the status it has now.

They should have drastically reduced the prize fund for both WDT and Masters.
Max £10k to the Men”s winner and then scale from there.
I guess they didn’t as didn’t want player revolt and more trying Q-School next January. But then only a limited number can get your cards and they’re up against Challenge Tour and other players.

So with this new who paying for the increase 54k woman’s prize fund that was announced can’t see men’s staying at 300k

Exactly 100k is far too muchAstonvilla wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:30 am Prize money should have been cut years ago. A cut of 2/3rds would be about right given the status it has now.
Re: BDO close to running out of money
It was only ever put to 100k to match the PDC at the time.. It was a ridiculous decision back then which looks even more ridiculous now.. Its an enormous burden for any sport with the following the BDO has.. Totally excessive and even more so without the backing of Potter.BDOfan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 1:04 pmExactly 100k is far too muchAstonvilla wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:30 am Prize money should have been cut years ago.

Re: BDO close to running out of money
The prize money was fine when it was covered by sponsors. No problem with it being at any level if its paid for. But now...trotter01 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 3:34 pmIt was only ever put to 100k to match the PDC at the time.. It was a ridiculous decision back then which looks even more ridiculous now..

Re: BDO close to running out of money
Any bookies giving odds that the Ladies first prize will be higher than the men's ?
Re: BDO close to running out of money
I hope the rumoured ticket dependent sales = prize money for the BDO Worlds isn’t true.
Apparently all prize money had to be in place at time of contracts.
Please don’t tell me it’s another balls up....

Can’t be bothered reading through 52 posts of presumably Skewy having a wank. Any truth to this at all?
Re: BDO close to running out of money
as long as nothing was spunked on extraneous costs like mortgages, cars and holidays
Re: BDO close to running out of money
Cue people on fanatics screaming that prize money should go up, not down.
Re: BDO close to running out of money
I wouldn't have thought there were any sports at all with the live fan base numbers of the BDO and very few meaningful sponsors that would offer anything near 100k for a prize, let alone the rest of the payout... Its a ridiculous amount to sustain and without sponsorship of note truly impossible..

they never say were the money should come from just call for an increase.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 9:03 am Cue people on fanatics screaming that prize money should go up, not down.
Even at times folks asking for ladies payout to be equal with men (£100,000!).
But am I right in thinking ladies has gone up by 54%? short term game if so for the ladies if the BDO goes bust.

Re: BDO close to running out of money
Makes no difference if they advertise it at 5k, 100k , 500k or 5 million if the cheques the winner gets given cannot be honored
Re: BDO close to running out of money
And yet these same people criticise the PDC for only looking after the select few but it’s ok for the BDO to blow all their money on a select few and stuff everyone else, sounds about right.devosteve wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 1:09 pmthey never say were the money should come from just call for an increase.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 9:03 am Cue people on fanatics screaming that prize money should go up, not down.
