Pro darts players and snooker players prize money is taxable
|

By:
I completely agree BornToWin. They ned to send a message.
Re: Tax, I'm pretty sure that most sports prize money is taxed. A few of the darts players used to moan about it on Sky Sports. The Werbeniuk story is true. |

ok I stand corrected on the prize money
think you're right though re expenses they won't be paying much tax when the accountants have finished |

looking forward to the final between Judd and john, could be a great game, if snooker was a potting contest then Judd should be a worthy fav to beat john, but as we all know there's more to snooker than just potting and that's where I'm sticking with john to beat Judd, he's a far better all round player, he's more nerve and if john steals a march at some point in this match, expect Judd's attempts at long potting start missing by a distance gifting chance upon chance for Higgins to mop up
huge pressure on Judd to finally become world champ pressure on Higgins not lose 3 finals in a row Higgins will NOT lose to Judd |

there's only one player been standing in Trump's way from winning the WC
and that player is himself and even tho' Higgins is nowhere near playing remotely well he has no peers as a matchplayer not even Selby Trump could win cosily,he SHOULD win cosily but if Higgins can start well he is well capable of succumbing so hopefully we can look forward to another intriguing encounter |

Been at a wedding all afternoon. Other than knowing Dave led 15-16, I know nothing about how it panned out. Could he have won? Should he have won?

Looking at the semis it has all the makings of being a pile of sh1te..

trump has timed his run nicely and since round one has won his matches comfortably, he said at the start of the tournament his plan was to peak for the later stages and I feel he's doing that. the last few frames he played pretty well tonight which is a good sign for the final.
obviously you never know in sport but hard to be confident about john in the same way, he has been all out obviously to win his matches, and I think that could be the decisive factor- trump will have more left. He should have beaten john last year and was outplaying him for large parts of the 2011 final. If the john that turned up last night turns up for the final he will get slaughtered- there's no way that judd would have let him off the hook in the same way. Obviously john will be aware of that but I just wonder how much he has left. I know I am biased but everything points to judd so it's just fingers crossed now. |

Judd has to win, and I think he will.
The blubbering mess Higgins was post match only serves to highlight how spent he is. His grit has wrote cheques his body and mind can't cash. |
|
By:
last 9 meetings have gone to Higgins and the hth record reads 22-9 in his favour, no way would I want be steaming in to judd at match odds of 1/2
Higgins to win 18-13 @22/1 18-14@20/1 lets hope for a great final |
|
By:
Won't be any comebacks in this match someone will make all and by a decent margin wouldn't surprise me if one of them wins by 6 maybe more frames..

By:
Post match interviews , Judd didn't sound overly confident , concerned about his h2h against higgins etc ..... meanwhile all honest John was worried about was whether he had time for his bowl of pasta between sessions tomorrow
|
|
By:
It's a totally valid point from J.Higgins, and recently there have been occasions when they have ended the 3rd session early, to give the players more rest before the final session. Which begs the question - why don't they start the afternoon sessions of the final at least an hour earlier?
|
|
By:
Given the HTH record it makes for an intriguing encounter but, surely, Judd will have too much over 35 frames - Higgins looks spent and no wonder given the effort he had to make to beat Gilbert who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory - just how did he mange to do that?
If, and it is an if, Judd gets flying he could slaughter his opponent - come on Judd - do just that. I hate to admit it but I would get some pleasure out of Higgins being dished out an embarrassing defeat. |

Been at a wedding all afternoon. Other than knowing Dave led 15-16, I know nothing about how it panned out. Could he have won? Should he have won? how inconsiderate of them lats booking the wedding date during the hallowed 17 days, what is wrong with people nowadays?? same as in his QF with robbo, john boy dragged dave down to his level the table wasn't playing good (I expect the same in the final as both john & judd use the triangle chalk) throw in a big dollop of tension & all the makings were there for a true lakeside classic, and we got 1 there were tears in the interviews afterwards from both dave & john boy great to see what winning & losing means to some players |

Saw Dave's interview this morning (still not seen the final frame). Felt really sorry for him. Seems like a genuinely lovely bloke. Really hope he finds his way to a title, because there's a decent player in there. Like 2., he badly needs to get his head in front in one before he'll truly believe (and even then he might put it down to a fluke...).
