He either gets on the list or not
if he does he wins not sure what else there is to say, its all been covered twice over |
|
By:
I note bear never comes on here to 'moderate' on army's Luke posts, funny that wonder who he's backing...?
 |
|
By:
bear never lets on anything stu, anyone with a brain is laying the very weak fav
|
|
By:
I take offence to my posts being repetitive as well, some are to go over old stuff coz people ignore it time and time again but ive also informed this forum of every thing Littler has done since Aug. Without my insight a lot of whats been posted by me would not of been valuable to his backers.
i will be thanked when he wins |
|
By:
you're heading for the joint MOTY award, regardless of being small green
 now play nicely |
|
By:
lol, he's let on a lot by how he responds to any anti-Luke posting on here, while ignoring the bucket loads of ramps for Luke. I think he's been a backer for a while. Not sure why he'd be bothered by the anti Luke posts though if he's happy to have Luke green.
ps. 'very weak fav' - she's currently getting backed at 1.21 if that counts as 'weak'. No-one is agreeing, at least not with their money. |
|
By:
an you really think those backers understand this market ??
|
|
By:
It's a simple process end of the day - if people believe she loses then lay her. Not much evidence of anyone doing that.
|
|
By:
My guess is those backers are very poorly informed that Luke is out of the running, some people will have a lot to answer for when he's on the main list

money buying sheep often get slaughtered on here

How big is the red v Keely army, talking of getting slaughtered by this market

RED

Star sports who probably take bigger bets on these markets than other bookies are now 1/10 with Littler at 6/1.
1/5 is standard price now for weak Keely. |

Have Luke's team slipped up, Target Darts have tweeted:
'Make sure you go and vote Luke Littler for young sports personality of the year' mmmmmm interesting |
|
By:
He's her main market contender so obv I'd post about him bear.
In terms of reasons for her I've posted several before on here at various points, which you maybe didn't read, but there's fairly obviously plenty reasons to back her given how the market (much more than just me) has shown... |
|
By:
or maybe should say 'was' her main market contender...
|
|
By:
So basically you're backing her because she's favourite
|
|
By:
His favourite. In a greg wallace sort of way
|
|
By:
Not sure what all the commotion is about, young spoty nom was guaranteed to happen. The market as clueless as ever, especially with people reporting false claims he's almost certainly out of it. When we know just two years ago Jess made both lists.
He who laughs last, laughs the loudest...best thing ive heard all day  |
|
By:
for bear:
reasons for her I've posted several before on here at various points, which you maybe didn't read, I'm not like army, I didn't need to post them 100 times |
|
By:
Well just make a list of them now, so we know, and we have them all in one place
|
|
By:
yeah i'll like to be reminded stu
|
|
By:
Blame army if it's complicated to read back in the various threads on here
|
|
By:
ain't you done it, chop chop. we all want to see you're reasons
|
|
By:
I'll do it when you have researched anyone winning YSP and going on to win SPOTY...chop chop
 |
|
By:
Course, to partly answer bear's earlier question, part of the reasons for her as a back, is the weakness of the opposition.
Hence Luke discussion is very relevant to her chances. |
|
By:
How do you finish a game in darts = DOUBLE
What's Littler gonna do at SPOTY = DOUBLE |
|
By:
With the amount of people saying he should win the main one, in comments under young spoty. The 9 would of had to have been seriously got at by the 3 BBC reps. If that turns out to be the case, the plan was always a Keely coronation. Which makes no sense at all given no posts about her from them in months
 |
|
By:
ive been wondering why they announce young spoty noms 1st, as last 4 years has been 50/50 before and after main noms. Common sense says they get more recognition if before the main noms, as afterwards it gets lost in the hype of the main award frenzy.
So we wait to decide what the BBC have chosen to do, the 9 may as well be card board cut outs !! |

Stephen Bunting says ‘megastar’ Luke Littler has taken darts to ‘another level’
Former world champion Bunting says the 17-year-old’s extraordinary rise has rubbed off on his rivals. Former world champion Stephen Bunting has credited “megastar” Luke Littler with lifting darts to new heights as he prepares for the start of another raucous PDC World Championship at Alexandra Palace later this month. Bunting admits the sport’s popularity is a world away from when he won the now-defunct BDO title in 2014, and says the 17-year-old’s extraordinary rise has rubbed off on his rivals. “What Luke has done for our sport in such a short space of time is just incredible, and he is the name on everybody’s lips,” Bunting told the PA news agency. “He’s a megastar and he’s taken our sport to the top echelons. We were already up there for viewing figures behind Premier League football, but it is now at another level. “I notice it when I go shopping and I get young kids asking me for autographs and pictures, which never really happened before. It just shows how Luke’s success is bringing the demographic of darts fans down.” Such is the sport’s current popularity – last year’s final, in which Littler was pipped by Luke Humphries, was the most watched non-football event in Sky Sports history – it has even been afforded the honour of a Panini trading card set. Current stars, including Littler and Bunting, and some of the sport’s most famous champions feature in the set which for avid collector and staunch Liverpool fan Bunting is another sign of its extraordinary evolution. “I remember going down the shops to get a pack and getting the shiny crests,” added Bunting. “I always had the sticker book for the year and I’ve still got them now. “It’s surreal that darts has its own set now, and I’ll certainly be trying to get the Luke Littler one because that could be worth a bit of money in a few years’ time.” Bunting goes into this year’s tournament as a live contender after winning The Masters in Milton Keynes last February, although he could run into defending champion Humphries in the quarter-final. He's a megastar and he's taken our sport to the top echelons. We were already up there for viewing figures behind Premier League football, but it is now at another level Stephen Bunting on Luke Littler A long-time favourite of the Ally Pally crowd, the St Helens-born star cautioned against suggestions by the sport’s supremo Barry Hearn of a future move away from the venue which has hosted every World Championship since 2008. “In my eyes it would be sad to move away from Ally Pally because it is an unbelievable place for darts,” added Bunting. “You go there each year and there’s people dressed as Christmas trees and Batman and Robin. It’s a special place for players, officials and fans and it’s just a special venue.” Panini has today launched the first-ever PDC Trading Card collection featuring current stars and historic legends ahead of the 2024/25 PDC World Darts Championship. . https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/stephen-bunting-luke-littler-luke-humphries-bdo-alexandra-palace-b2659948.html |

Be daylight robbery if not on list

Agreed, but was always the risk.
It did appear bbc were warming to him, and he would be such a well deserved winner of spoty. |

Chillax army
Balding-Fanny was just on telly, gave absolutely nothing away :( I tort she'd at least tell us when the shortlist was out |
|
By:
Think you've hit a key point, he would be a very deserving winner, especially for what he's doing for young kids. As far as the BBC are concerned he's of no threat to an already damaged corporation, there isn't a single bit of negativity surrounding him. Only positives !

lol gave nothing away and i'm supposed to chill

Not like the beeb ever does anything that displeases viewers is it, oh hang on they make it one of their main activities to do just that....
