2012 had 12 including 3 cyclists
its totally random what they decide, 2021 year only had 6 coz of covid probably |
|
By:
Its a thin year, so 6-8 makes the most sense but nothing stopping them putting all 5 cyclists, rock kid, tramp girl, root and littler. plus another two para's. With Keely that makes 12 !!!!!
|
|
By:
I reckon 6, saves on the vt's !!

It's been confirmed to me from on high that Luke is eligible for the main award, it's up to the panel to list him or not. Not too young if anyone was concerned
|

By:
I can forward the email if needed
|
|
By:
interesting
|
|
By:
It was never in doubt that he was eligible, Same as Gadirova
|
|
By:
She was an adult, he is a minor
|
|
By:
She was in young spoty category
|
|
By:
And Ian Black won when he was 17
|
|
By:
There is nothing written for main award anywhere, i have checked loads. Young spoty says 17 or under jan 1st of said year on wiki. which is bullsh1t coz two of last years were 18.
just like whole award process, they make up as they see fit |
|
By:
He did

See Elon finally figured his betfair account out, 20 million matched on Trump last hour or so
|
|
By:
Some whale been busy for the last few days. Doesn't try to force the price in, just sits there for matching
|
|
By:
record numbers voting, thats good for Trump imo. Younger males and Elon's state lotto lol which a judge has ruled is allowed to continue, can't see past Trump myself.
When we had record breaking brexit vote it helped the right |
|
By:
Lol, bigger the turnout better it is for harris

I see rows and rows of trailers parking up outside voting stations

ROB & ROMESH VS RETURNS TO SKY WITH DARTS SPECIAL FEATURING LUKE LITTLER
Sky have announced that Rob & Romesh Vs will return to screens this December with a Darts special. The nation tuned in night-after-night to watch Luke 'The Nuke' Littler's festive fairytale, as he rewrote history to become the youngest ever player to reach the World Championship Final. And with a record audience of 4.8 million, (beyond football) the match was the most watched sports event ever on Sky too. Following his heroic debut, the PDC have granted Rob and Romesh special access to the teenage star — alongside other top players — as he prepares for his redemption run. Not only will the boys learn what it takes to come within touching distance of the crown, they'll need to sharpen up their own skills for a special head-to-head challenge the PDC have arranged, in front of a sold-out Alexandra Palace at this year’s World Championship. . https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/robandromeshvs-dartsspecial-ann1 |

https://talksport.com/darts/2221986/luke-littler-darts-prize-money-luke-humphries-pdc/ Watch the vid at top, Barry wants a bigger deal with Sky as the contract is up soon...Littler winning SPOTY would go along way to achieving that fat deal he wants. oh we love a conspiracy theory |
|
By:
and on the other foot, Sky are doing absolutely everything they can to promote the world championships using Littler at every turn.
its a win/win scenario for backers, i told you all its gonna be Littler mania now until the worlds start and its just beginning |
|
By:
Hopefully he can at least win a match or two.
 |
|
By:
when he gets shortlisted he'll be fav stu
|
|
By:
i see nearly all the mugs on the DS spoty thread are not giving him a chance either
 |
|
By:
your girl will get 5 mins on the night, Littler is gonna get weeks and weeks hours and hours of media attention over the next 6 weeks.
still time to wake up and smell the coffee |
|
By:
This will go down historically as the best bet this forum has ever seen and certainly the best bet ive ever seen, you can still get 8/1
|
|
By:
it also fact the voters couldn't give a feck what you have won, SPOTY is basically now a reality tv event..you can thank womens footy for that. Earps winning last year after not picked up a single trophy proves the award has lost its prestige.
She was effectively the most talked about sportsperson last year. Why don't you sit down and think about that for a minute or two stu !!!!!!!!!!! |
|
By:
we'll see.
 |
|
By:
All i want to know is, when does market panic set in....coz one thing is certain, its coming !!!!!!!
|
|
By:
Not from me - good green Keely, tiny green Luke, only bigger losses were Ainslie and Lando
|
|
By:
The worlds is 6 weeks away, use your noddle
|
|
By:
Not really planning to change anything from here - may be the best, erm, sportsthing win...
|
|
By:
You're basically getting 8/1 he gets shortlisted, coz trust me if he does he absolutely p1sses in
|
|
By:
Its just gonna be endless promotional gigs for Littler till Dec 15th as everyone wants a piece of the pie, coz the whole nation wants the fairytale to have a happy ending this year.
My god you lot are so neanderthal, wake up and see the light . https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/darts-star-luke-littler-helps-warrington-wolves-launch-new-2025-kits-98775/ |

Can you explain to me, why the only people who think Littler won't make the list is posters on forums and some clueless people on the street that know f all about the award. Every single article this year written about SPOTY has Littler as a leading contender, articles written year in year out by experts who understand the award inside out. |
|
By:
For Littler being listed:
He fits the criteria for the SPOTY list. He would get a very decent sized vote. It would be a populist move to list him. Against Littler being listed: snobbishness in regard to darts being a sport. He will win more and be more deserving in future non olympic years. Fear of putting him on the list and him stopping their preferred winner. Luke Humphries beat Littler and is the current world champion. |
|
By:
getting 8/1 risking those negatives is huge value, if he was 3/1 or less it maybe considered a poor value play
|
|
By:
You've also left off the biggest positive he makes the list
The BBC have had a terrible terrible few years of constant bad publicity and scandals Are they willing to risk the wrath of the public by leaving the most talked about sports person in the country this year ? |
|
By:
I'd also say if you're meaning Keely as a preferred winner coz the rest are pretty nondescript i just don't see where your're coming from. She has had so few articles written about her since the games. The only ones ive seen has nothing to do with sport and is all about what outfit she is wearing.
She's also as far as i know not once gone out of her way for the BBC either since the games, i don't see where it benefits them at all for the win. The next games is 4 years away now, so hardly need her..... |
|
By:
The BBC used a lot Keely winning footage in their Olympic coverage after she won, she was their golden girl as all the rest fell flat.
It would be very BBC to pimp the heck out of her and to prevent their Keely plan from being endangered, it will not be a level playing field imo. |
|
By:
As far as i can see, the last thing the BBC can afford to be right now is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons with massive controversy over leaving Littler off, it was bad enough when they left Kerr off.
Barry Hearn would go to town on them, along with the whole darting world for the whole christmas period...why on earth would they risk all of that when ratings over christmas are the lifeblood. They'd face a boycott Littler would also make the best good feel winner in a very long time I just don't see any logic in risking causing so much fuss by leaving him off |
