The Random Darts Discussion Thread
This thread made because of the hijack created in the English Premier League thread.
Darts is one of the most popular pub
I'm lost for words honestly
its gonna hit him in the middle of this that there's half a million quid to the winner (which purchases approximately one third of his home town of warrington with plenty left over for a luxury kebab supper)
Does a 16 year old even actually understand what that means though? I feel like what 16 year olds have heard about salaries/money is just from athletes or famous people, so he probably thinks it's something normal lol.
Kind of how he's dominating the tournament and looks like he's been doing it for a decade already. Just thinks it's another tournament and he's probably been dominating them forever. Being 16 might be an advantage in terms of not letting the nerves get to him.
Plus he's already locked up 100k and knows he's never gonna be short of kebab money going forward.
Nerves clearly getting to him a bit even if he's just gone 4-2 up
D20 not Luke’s friend
But he leads 4-2
lol, Luke takes out a leg with a 36 out
Not D18 but S16 D10, ha ha
The kid’s 5-2 up, Cross not coming back today
Cross goes two T18 for D15 on 138 for peak batshit insane checkout route
Littler says hold my J2O and splits 36
Is bull bull D16 the standard 132 checkout route? LOL
BULL BULL D16 no ****ing way
OMFG, now he goes Bull Bull D16
170 to finish please
What a beast
Just beat an in good form Rob Cross in an ally pally semifinal 6-2 and made it seem like the most standard thing ever.
What a ****ing legend.
Amazing he didn't even blink, doesn't this lad feel any pressure
WOW, that was impressive
16 years old, world #31* and WDC finalist
Plus some kebab money for the lads
*world #9 if he wins the final
Yep. 25 first dart leaves an out. I'm not convinced it's optimal in the slightest (and when he went for it with Cross not on a shot it was insane)
That's the reason, yeah. It has a lower success % than a handful of other 132 routes but most go for it because if you miss the first dart you still have a 2 dart checkout.
Made that look easy, is he going to be fav against Humphries assuming he wins do you reckon? Both 10/11 maybe
Get darts in the LA 2028 Olympics, if not, Brisbane 2032.

hump is 1.16 to win this game and 2.28 to win the tournament, which implies he'll be 1.97 to win the final if he makes it through, so a hair better than a flip
will change a slight bit if he looks awful/great in this semi

It's gotta be something around there for sure. I could see them making either of the two a slight favourite, though.
I was wondering earlier who Humphries was hoping for. I feel like it had to be Cross. Can't imagine anyone wants to play Littler right now, especially once the match was underway and Littler was answering adversity with 180s and absurd checkouts nearly every time.
The 1 thing that definitely isn't happening but would've been epic to watch is Littler beating MVG 7-1 or 7-2 in the final, not because I don't like MVG (love him) but because it would've just been absolute insanity to witness.
hopefully hump does go through and we get an answer once and for all to the pear shape question
