Matchplay Friday

Im on over 15 maxes

Think the pace should really suit Chizzy just hope he doesn't freeze

LMAO first throw 180 mg!

As the comms said that was a very important finish even this early

D&B - that Chandler scoreboard is faster than the 'live' pictures I'm getting off Sky

B365 is always quicker too

It's rancid innit?

Those scoreboards are handy to keep track of maximums, averages, highest checkouts etc.

Yeah thats why I use them too mate

Live data darts site is marginally quicker at times than my sky feed.

Sky called one wrong earlier in the Lewis game saying there were 5 maxes when I was sure there were six - the scoreboard confirmed Sky were wrong

vic's feed with animated darts is superb. A good 5 seconds ahead of sky.

Yeah think they got confused when Hamilton hit a 180 on 184

I've laid MVG at 1.13 but only got £20 taken in the hope that Chiz could get a full head of steam and I agree that for him to get a couple of early legs was crucial as his head might've dropped.

He looked fired up in the last leg...unusual for him to be so animated.

I think Pearson has been reading threads on here. Every time you expect him to say "something special" he pauses and desperately tries to think of another word or phrase.

most 180's - chisnall
highest finish - Over 135.5
chisnall 3 dart average - Over 135.5

Just added mvgin play @ 4/11 to win match

What did I say about the Chizzy haemorrhage?
That was an awful leg to lose!

Usual Chizzy heartache on the cards

Chizzy somehow managing to completely outplay MVG and be level at 5 apiece

He should've had the darts for 7-3 but somehow he snatches defeat from the jaws of 'victory' despite it being early stages.

I can see an imminent MVG tornado in this next session...he must know he's lucky to be on level terms.

he still hasn't got over losing to wolfy

mvg not exactly playing fanstastic here but chissy not taking advantage really

chissy is so like lewis but even more erratic possibly

I believe he cost the forum a packet that day

Bloody Wolfie

taylor would smash mvg  throwing like this thatrs the difference

chissy throwing this away lol

MVG there to be beat tonite

Chissy needs to get a leg on the board again

I agree Boyd he is there to be beat

Super stuff Chizzy rascal

nearly lumped on when MVG touched 4-9 as CHISSY known bottle job but cudnt do it lol

I get the impression if MVG just kicks in he could blow Chizzy away here

yea he cud,whitlock, wade lewis or hamilton wud of beat him tonight

Not sure about that as its a long format but one of the top boys would have been 7v3 up not 5v5

Chisnall aint actually scoring heavy enough

wish id gone thur with the 4-9 now lol

Huge for Chissy there

hes actually showing some bottle here chissy thought hed fall apart when blew chance for 7-3  which became 6-7

MVG touched 1.64 earlier

He is mate I agree. If he gets his scoring going then we might just have a game here

surely chisnall +4.5 5-6 is gd value?

Having a good week Bito ?

Has Judy M deserted you for a darter though?

Here comes the surge

Lesstax2pay.com = The sponsor of Champions

Please God Chizzy isn't the taxation mastermind behind Amazon, Starbucks and the entire country of Luxembourg ???

Its a distinct possibility Alun. I see him as a Keyser Soze type figure and the thick northern persona is a beautifully crafted act

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people he didn't exist

144 = Money!

A fantastical thought indeed Hib. But who is the Kobayashi figure taking care of his business?

I backed mvg at 1.14 but am getting out here. I just don't trust him tonight

And it's "ever PULLED " btw.

And for your bonus mark, and without Googling, who actually came up with that quote in the first place?

Rod Harrington Alun

I dunno mate fill me in

never say that when mr eds about

Charles Baudelaire. And yes, Rod would also be my go-to man on Tax

LOL Bito

Learn something new every day mate. Who says the betfair forum is full of idiots

I had to study Baudelaire for A Level French around 175 years ago.

Hahahaha

Alun - I remember backing a horse called Baudelaire about 30 years ago

How did it get on?

Facking hell what age are you lot???

Back on to darts this has been another good game. Van Gerwen just upped it and Chizzy struggled to go with it

LOL. Had a quick read through the thread. More great humour on here tonight

I'll be interested though to see how the Twittersphere and World Media will cope with Chizzy's 'less tax' advert, bearing in mind the carnage that was let loose on comedian Carr and co.

WOW.

An XTC fan at Sky Sports?

Alun - I think it was Vincent O'Brien's and if memory serves a 7f/mile performer.

lol that's pretty typical u spend al match stressing about mvg and ur doe then u lay out for hardly any profit and he turns the style on

was that the band over that ad alun?

Cheers. Don't remember the beast personally, even though I kept a keen eye on Vincent's raiders.

notice judys gone missing,king part doesn't miss a trick


whisked her straight off to the kebab shop

Yes mate "Senses Working Overtime' from 1982.

A fave band of mine.

Sky showing all the stats minus the darts used in each leg

Judy's certainly shown the Anniversary Games lot where the real action is.

Who needs Insane Bolt when you have proper athletes here

2 good games there tonight. Phil's reported both semi's could be "crackers" too

Let's hope that Chizzy's prize money is being managed in  a tax-efficient manner. Preferably on the Isle of Man rather than Panama City.

WNKER that missed double cost me FCUK sake

only since the PDC quite rightly appointed manley as conditioning coach

I hope Lewis/MVG is the later game tomorrow so I'll be well juiced-up by then
I always enjoy it more after a session.

He's investing it in gold Alun on Bobby George's advice

Ah yes, the Gold cognoscenti.

MVG is half cut

XTC ...'we only making plans for Nigel '

they came from Swindon did XTC

They did, but we can't hold that against them

What a signature that was from MVG.

I love MVG but you wouldn't trust him not to lick your windows

HAHAHA Hibbee

According to Mardle, Lewis is 6"4

should be pretty funky tomorrow night,i may have to watch in the nude

around the waist

Do we have to book our Cam session now?

Here's another oldie, "Groove is in the Heart"

i couldn't ask for another

whhhhheeeeeeuuuuuuuwwhoooooooooo

Been a good tourney so far.
+93.86 pts tonight. A controlled (kind of) £1 per pt

Taylor v Wade

Only 3 bets so far: Not sure what's happened, but i'm on Overs and Unders?

Highest Checkout - Over 135.5 @ 2.5pts boyl
Wade 3 Dart Average - Over 97.5 @ 2.5pts vic
Highest match checkout - Under 140.5 @ 1.5pts vic



Running Matchplay pts totals:

boyl +90.97
Total +197.30 pts

Shocked? I'm flabbergasted!!!

I'll be late on here tomorrow as i'll be sinking the mandatory couple or 3 gallons from mid morning onwards!

I'm back on the Open darts circuit this weekend, along with my partner in crime!
Coventry Open tomorrow - £500.00 winner.
Midland Open Sunday - £1,000 winner.

you need to stick to the tea ffs,you're an athlete

LOL A very bad athlete.

I'll have you know i haven't had a tipple since i marked all day. (I love it!) 7 pdpa markers and me! @ the Warwickshire Invitational.
I got £30 for my troubles which paid for my food and drinks for the day! This came a week after my drunken exploits @ the UK Open.

Colin Osborne beat pdc world youth runner up Rick Evans 6-5 legs, after Ricky led 5-2, maybe 5-3.

Ozzy rode his luck from the 1/4's onwards, as he diced with the trap door several times. And yes, his lovely wife was there. Another lovely in attendance was Kim Huybrecht's lady cheering on her man. Unfortunately i never got to chat with her as i was marking on the opposite side of the venue. Kim played in the group of death, featuring 3 other pdc players, Nigel Heydon, Kevin Dowling, James Richardson, ex pdc Tony Randall, and 1 other.

Randall and Dowling qualified through the group - Just like this post, it was a long winded (round robin format,) where all 7 legs counted.

I only marked 130 legs throughout the day. Leaving the pro markers to do the on stage semi's & final

Time to close up and get my head down. I'll be dreaming of darts and beer!

P.S. Due to the hot conditions in the venue i'll be wearing a themed and rather loud cheap n nasty shirt tomorrow. Saving my Denis Ovens designed shirt for the big event on sunday.

Today didn't go to plan. I left my bottle of baileys in the freezer. (A total disaster) as i was rushing to be ready on time). We arrived at the venue shortly before registration closed. Heydon got drawn out first on board 1, and i drew Dukes of Hazzard on board 4.

Dukes duly eased into a 3-0 lead, and showed no mercy to leave 16 after 12 darts in the 4th leg. My final hurrah being T20, T20, 20, before Jon closed out the match on D8 for a brilliant winning performance. Heydon won through 2 rounds before falling to fellow county colleague Noel Grant.

Once both out, the driver deciding there was no point stopping, plus he wanted to get home.
Not good news for me as i intended to have a chat with "mace the ace" as well as having pics with several pro players for the forum

I guess i'll have to wait to try my luck tomorrow!

P.S. Lewis looks big to beat mvg @ 5/2
