and i'll be telling the whole of SM to multi-vote, as many times as you can

Make sure they know the bbc app vote is a waste of time

Unless you're a keely fan

yep, i'll be looking up every pub that has a darts league and ringing them till the 17th, making sure they do for darts

Well done army. The BBC caved in to the betting market. I thought and expected Littler to be shorter now that he's nominated, but there's a fair bit of negativity on Twitter and not a whole lot of love.
The are several negatives. 1. Avid darts fans don't think he should be nominated 2. Avid darts fans will be watching the WC on Sky the same night 3. Many people don't regard darts as a sport 4. He'll win Young SPOTY So what's left? Mainly casual darts fans who are boozed up young men? Are they really the type to watch and vote? Does Littler actually fall into the Anthony Joshua and Ronnie O'Sullivan category in that he appeals to the type of demographic that creates a lot of noise but doesn't tune in and vote? |

Having the world champs on at same time is perfect isn't it?

By:
Good luck with your DDLG bets :)

Chhers Cylde, but its not VTE its VTS and the hate only brings motivation
|
|
By:
Tom Daley is the type that gets MEMs for this show voting not Littler. Littler fans are young males
|
|
By:
The biggest motivation is does he deserve it? And the answer to that is no. I think it's one of those cases where your instinct says Littler will get a big vote, but when you sit back and think about it you think maybe not.

He's sold over 100k branded dart boards,, i think he has a few dart fans
|
|
By:
You wanna check FB clyde, he has thousands and thousands of middle aged/old people who love him big time.
|
|
By:
Even time i see darts they see to be baying for his blood. They all absolutely hate him ;-)

My sons are in their EARLY twenties. We are darts fans and watch the darts a lot. They like Littler ofc, but their faves are actually Gary Anderson, Peter Wright and Mensur Suljovic. They will be watching the darts if they aren't doing anything else and never watch SPOTY
|
|
By:
Almost as relevant as Tim's musings :)
|
|
By:
loads of people are already asking how to vote, so obviously will be new to the whole SPOTY process and program

I couldn't advocate laying Littler at 3/1. I'd be a backer at that price. But I definitely have my reservations. GL

You didn't take much persuading the

Littler has every chance now. Well sone Armagnac
|
|
By:
I haven't backed Littler and I haven't been persuaded anything different. 2/1 to 5/2 and 2/5 to 1/2 is where I'd place them if I were doing it, with Yee the best rag. I like to be confident though and I wouldn't be confident at all. I'd want to see more evidence of Littler love. I don't think Keely gets a massive vote myself, but think she'll get a big enough vote.
|

By:
With the darts being on too. Seems a good price right now
|
|
By:
Cavendish would have had a fair shout had he been nommed imo
|
|
By:
Well done Army, now he has made the list I'm keen enough on his chances, I do feel a little sorry for keely, she has gone from being red hot fav to a 50/50 now imo.
|
|
By:
Cav was about the right price even if nommed. I'd have backed him if lukey hadn't been nommed tbf
|
|
By:
So many flatulent old men punters obsessed with this daddy's little girl thing
|
|
By:
When Phil Taylor came 2nd in a stronger year than this, there was recognition within darts that he hadn't been recognised for his outstanding achievements and darts had not been recognised. I don't think there's the same motivation this year myself, but this a Little(r) different so I may well be wrong.

Here comes the confusion partial settlement

They really shouldn't do this

By:
Well done army.
I wonder how much you swayed the panel,.. Maybe not but who knows. Now he just needs to win it. Guessing Root and Bellingham cancel each other and fight for third Or the invisible girl bombs and they fight for second behind Charles de Batz de Castelmore |
|
By:
Fair play to the Lukey backers, you've jumped the first big hurdle for this, and should be in an easy green position at least.
Whether he still beats our Keely is still in question though. I think market has it about right currently, he's a clear challenger, but I still make her clear favourite. |
|
By:
One price I don't get is Storey drifting so much for top 3 - surely she's beeb pimp material as a disabled athlete not mention a massive lifetime and current year achiever for her sport?
But the market thinks she'll finish no-where? |

Even the guardian lead with lukey, with a bit of a whinge about cav |
|
By:
She's definitely a contender for it stu, i couldn't rule out any of the 4 tbh
|
|
By:
odd that she drifted so hard after being on the shortlist?
