Had a bet on Luke Littler from the start at 50/1 and cashed out at £45.00 as I never expected him to get this far.
Luke Humphries was just amazing, survived some key moments that went his way and tipped the balance in his favour.
No doubt Luke Littler will be back...
What made you back him in the first place mate ?

An interview 1 month before the World Darts Championship with Phil Taylor singing his praises...
Said he could beat most of the top 16 easily... He was right..... :)

I played there many, many times back in the day.
You get a really good view of the pitch from the A14 (Westbound)
Yes, that's the one.
Local Derby v Felixstowe and lots of helpers.

Rather than start a new darts thread I thought I'd use this one.

I've played darts for many years and these days I'll go out into the garage two or three times a week and throw a few darts for 15 minutes or so.
Over the years I've hit a few Robin Hoods, the last one being about 6 months ago.

Today I hit 4 of them!

First 3 darts - Robin Hood
Next 3 - None
Next 3 - Robin Hood
Next 3 - None
Next 3 - Robin Hood that's when I took a picture

Then about 10 minutes later I hit another

RH1.jpg

This has to be unusual.
Has any one else had or seen so many in such a small period?

Once took two hattricks in a single innings of cricket ...

As for Robin Hoods, done it a few times when I played league darts, more annoying than pleasing to be honest. I used to like to play darts a lot, but can't stand watching it, never could. Too boring

Enjoy the PDC Worlds every year. Beyond that I don’t watch any. When Van Gerwyn & Smith were both on a nine darter it was pretty good viewing in fairness. MVG just missed and Smith nailed it. The reaction from pundit Wayne Mardle was a classic

Yes watching Littler might be a draw for me to watch the PL.

He’s just gone through to the semis.

All those Kebabs celebrating getting to the World Finals won’t have helped his waistline.

Decent opponent in the Asp. Taking the step up in his stride. Just saw the 9 darter.

He needs to sort it out.

You’d think someone close to him would at least mention the weight issue, my wife did to me and I sorted myself out.

He’s going to have problems later in life if he doesn’t sort it out.

Yeah you would. All that fat around the middle.
Oh dear. I think his mum is also large.

Yes mate.

He’s just got no fear, absolutely none. Just like he’s playing darts with his mates.
