World Championship 2023

Already fed up with it as had Keane Barry in 2 of my 5 Fantasy Darts teams and he managed to lose at 1.06

Keane was terrible last night. He seemed better when he slowed down a bit. Fair play to the South African though, was the biggest night of his darting life by far.

It is very dull at the moment. The quality outside of the top 64 isn’t really up to TV standards.

I didn’t see that game. Looks like Bully Boy trounced him. Nine straight legs.

Would be nice to see him win this.

It was the first time I’d seen her play. She looks very good. A shame she came up against such a good opponent.

It sounds like the female players can’t keep up with her. She’d have been in territory she wasn’t use to last night being behind from the first set.

It did use to be a great read on here, Pauliow.

It’s nearly 10.10pm and we are still only half way through the second game. This 8.15pm evening start is too late for me!

I wanna see if Josh Rock can smash it.

I’m not sure if it was scheduled that way to avoid any possible World Cup clashes. Evening games are 7.15pm from tomorrow onwards.

yup spot on clyde

A Dutch site called Zweeler kenbo.  At least I think it's Dutch, judging by the competitions it runs.  I opened an account 2 years ago when I saw an online advert for fantasy darts somewhere.  Each entry cost £8.70 and the prize pool is £7.3k which is 80% of the entry fee. (1049 entries).  Top prize is a little over £2k and there are minor prizes all the way down to 141.  There is also something called sub leagues on the bigger competitions with a small additional prize.  I've turned £50 in £400, but it's very much a casual bettors site for fun stakes.  If you enter multiple teams they have to be different by a minimum of 4 players in the darts comp.

Points and values below.  The points are additional so if you go to the semis you get 1+2+4+6+8 points.  The budget was 200 and you had to pick 14 players, so you have to pick a fair few poor players.  The only player I had in every team was Cameron Menzies and the only rule I used was to make sure my teams were split fairly equally into the different sections of the draw

Looks good fun, Clydebank. MVG is expensive at 25% of everyone’s bank. Plenty of value players in there though. Good luck with it.

I only saw the last set, Stu. I hadn’t realised Whitlock was two up when I first switched on. The first one of the tournament too.

a third win from 2-0 down

ive gone in rydz vs rock for over 120.5 highest match checkout@ 8/15. dont care who does just get it done !! lol

Chizzy certainly has the game to go far. Such a good 180 hitter. He’s probably underachieved considerably. Shame because he’s a very likeable chap.

anyone got a link,the wifes watching the telly!

Is Wright due to meet Van Gerwin before the final,
if they progress?
cheers.

Wright scheduled to play MVG in the semis.  Long way to go before that happens though

Tx

That Wade is rotten

Really rotten

sky keep on about the  huge upset of wade getting beaten like he was a long odds on chance when in reality he was only  8/15 , hardly  a big  upset.!!theres been  several longer odds on pokes beaten already

always seems to make it back after xmas though

Jim Williams getting beat with the highest average of the day a killer for my Fantasy teams.
