That's called 'groupthink' as you pointed out before on here army
 |
|
By:
I wonder if the other group know what they’ve let themselves in for
 |
|
By:
Army.
It may be a conspiracy theory, but one based on past plunges in these markets. I've zero evidence that it's a bbc employee, but it's a back fitted way of making sense of it. You can call him a mad backer One of the 2 may be true, or neither. |

Interesting top 3 market with Littler…he should be 1.4 if win market is to be believed. 5/4 top 3 makes you wonder if someone knows something.
Cav is shorter than Littler with Alex and Jude looking like they are shortlisted. Storey and Lando would make the 6 market wise. Ainslie and Emma miss out or sneak in if Littler Young SPOTY winner ? |
|
By:
Does this really need explaining again?
|
|
By:
My point is that I think Luke makes the 6 nominations looking at the market. Ben is 22’s and Emma hasn’t had a bean on her.
|
|
By:
That will cheer up Army.
|
|
By:
Why would you argue one side knows more than the other? Makes no sense
Nobody knows anything until the panel mets |
|
By:
Think you'll find army has always known everything GB - his post titles are not exactly discussions titles
 |

By:
Sorry, i keep forgetting I'm on army's side :)

|
By:

|
|
By:
Appears to be 0 laying of Keely still to push her out of the 1.2s despite above...?
 |
|
By:
Interesting tittle tattle, seems the race director Wittich may have been sacked for timing his red flag to deliberately hamper max in qualifying
|
|
By:
Officials cheating everywhere
|
|
By:
I wouldn't be surprised if it came from the top though, keep the title ticking over until the final race etc .
Just caught red handed |

Teenager Luke Littler continued his sensational maiden professional year by winning the Grand Slam of Darts with a 16-3 thrashing of qualifier Martin Lukeman in Wolverhampton.
The 17-year-old trailed 2-0 after his throw was broken in the second leg but then won an incredible 15 legs on the spin to lead 15-2. Lukeman broke the sequence and celebrated emphatically, with the crowd cheering and singing for the world number 45, who had to win four qualifying games just to reach the tournament proper. Littler then broke Lukeman's throw in the 19th leg to win the Eric Bristow trophy and his first major ranking title. He was serenaded in the warm-up - the crowd singing 'walking in a Littler wonderland' - and offered an apology after cheers turned to boos when spectators realised he had thrown 140 rather than 180 in one visit. The win sees Littler move to fifth place in the PDC's Order of Merit, having been ranked 164 a year ago. Littler takes home £150,000 for winning the title, plus £3,500 for winning this group, taking his prize money to £558,500 for the Order of Merit. He has picked up £355,000 for winning the Premier League of Darts and World Series finals but, as those are invitational events, they do not count towards the rankings. "I'm so glad to win it. I've been playing well all week. It's been a long week but it's paid off," Littler told Sky Sports. "This is one of the ones I wanted to win. My major record isn't the best but I just wanted to go deep. Obviously, it's even better now I've won it and it shows I'm still here." Littler becomes just the third player, after Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen, to average over 100 in every match of a Grand Slam. He finished with an average of 107.08 - the third highest in a Grand Slam final - and a breathtaking 12 180s and another 15 140s. Lukeman, who was the first qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final and started the tournament as a 150-1 shot, could not match Littler’s scoring power. During the first 10 legs of Littler’s 15 in a row, Lukeman only had one dart at a double and that came on an attempted 142 checkout. The pair embraced at the end, with Lukeman, who wins £70,000 for finishing second, full of praise for Littler and his impact on the sport in his post-match interview. "He [Littler] is just different gravy. He's brilliant, isn't he?" Lukeman said to Sky Sports. "He's done great for the PDC, great for the sport, bringing loads of new fans and sponsorships." Littler, who was only 10 months old when the first Grand Slam event was played in 2007, took a deep breath before raising the trophy to the crowd. |

Every fooker knows him and most are rooting for him, he's transcended Darts already, Premier League darts will keep him in the limelight and there's even a major tourney a mere 3 weeks before the SPOTY is awarded, he's getting a shout out on the BBC news, the channel that broadcasts the award, as soon as he won his first tournament. OI OI...go on the Nuke  |
|
By:
The 10th title is the cherry on the cake, 5th in world now off 11 months of ranking, while rest have 2 years worth
two of his biggest wins didn't even count towards his ranking this year, if so he's probably be 3rd |
|
By:
How many reds left now, please sign in so i can take the proper p1ss when he romps SPOTY
|
|
By:
Well at least there's finally some backing for Luke to go with the claims for his chances, fair play.
and about time... |
|
By:
For the record I have 0 red on him, just green on Keely. If he wins it, so be it, but I still don't think he does...

What you're still failing to see clearly stu is Littler has now become the greatest generational talent this country has ever produced at individual sport levels.
The greatest ever teenagers we've produced barring team sports like football, coz there has been lots of amazing teenagers on that front. Tom Daley meh Emma Rad fluked a major, not done f all since Ronnie won a single ranking tournament at 17 That is it, Littler in the space of 11 months has become the best darts player on the planet as it stands. No other british teenager in history has achieved what Littler has done in there debut professional season. Crazy thing is people still have time to make a lot of money, price is only going one way. |

By:
Littler picked up £355,000 for winning prem league and world series, had that gone towards his ranking he'd be number 2 in the world by 1 point.
913.5 Littler 912.5 Van Gerwen |
