I'm a big Littler fan and backed him in January, said my bit back then on this thread BUT, I am concerned, I listen to lots of Yank NFL podcasts and to borrow a term they often use, what does Vegas know, the market appears fishy to me, with everything in Littler's favour he seems too big, the market is screaming for you to back him, even allowing for greening up he should be shorter, once nominated I expected an avalanche of money for him forcing his price in.

Worrying over nothing duffy, the market simply doesn't respect non elitist sports..it never has !!
Athletics is the premium spoty winner by a mile 18 wins and 53 total placings, more than double of anything else. Darts has been placed 2nd, thats it. 1 compared to 53. The market is well within its rights to have Keely fav, it doesn't mean its correct and certainly doesn't mean its dodgy. Punters are simply happy to take darts on, as Athletic fans will turn up and vote guaranteed. |

Giggs started 20/1 when nominated for example. Spoty backers are clueless

People laying muzza at 50s when he lost in the us open :)

Jack draper being shorter to win spoty than the us was a good one this year lol

Luke is ahead on every single metric, apart from the clueless market. Just means new players to this market are still getting decent value. I don't need to be backing at this price, why would i when i have more than enough green and was happily getting double figures just a few days ago.

I'm watching the 6 news to see if Lukey is on again for all the workers back home eating dinner
|

By:
Luke has 3 fan pages on Facebook that have decent sized followers
19k 7.2k 31k That's 57,200 hardcore fans, many of them are old as you can obviously see there pictures Keely has zero hardcore fans dedicated enough to start a fan page So how many older fans does Littler have that are not on Facebook or know about the groups, if on Facebook. She will have big competition imo just from the normal BBC SPOTY audience judging by that, so what chance does she have against his fans and dart fans in general. |
|
By:
What also sets Luke well apart from Keely, is the fact he takes time to read comments on his socials and replies to his fans, that will earn him tons of respect and vote motivation.

I was having a pint with starmer and reeves yesterday, glum lot in shiny suits, but after few bevvies starmer mentioned that he's done a deal with the BBC to placate the pub industry. Give the BBC a license fee rise in exchange for them promoting darts, give Littler the spoty etc. bring people back into the pubs to revive the hospitality business after covid.

Keely is so overrated by the market, i'm just looking at some likes on the facebook SPOTY post that got put up. Here's some that only mention one person. Lots of the posts filter in others so hard to measure what there liking.
46 likes - Keely girl who won the Olympics for me, she was outstanding 64 likes - i'm 100% rooting for Alex Yee 69 likes - has to be Alex Yee for me, Olympic and world champion 49 likes - Luke Littler all day long.....long post but thats the start of it 61 likes - Root. Phenomenal for years. Best batsman in the world I was expecting to find more but these are the best i see, i actually don't give Keely a hope. I thought i was gonna see big numbers for her and lots of posts with decent numbers. Littler not got many either but it is a BBC page and he didn't do great on there articles in the comments sections so not that bothered. Yee is the one who will really eat chunks out of Keely's vote, being Olympic and world champion in the manner he won...with the french giving him both barrels. Just totally shocked at how poor Keely has performed with the comments, the person writing the Keely girl really sums up how well she isn't known ![]() ![]() ![]() |

But we do need lukey to do well on the bbc army ;-)

armagnac can you crack the code?

It won't stop his fans voting and its expected on there, you obviously didn't read the comments on his articles.
The fact is brushy, Keely should be completely smashing it..lots of posts of her winning with big numbers for likes and there isn't. feel free to go look, she's doing f all and her competition is getting more likes. You would of thought she'd have a decent post with a good few hundred likes not 46 lol |
|
By:
i need some crack 1st
|
|
By:
Anyhow despite that coded message still time for the casual mug punters to smash Littler in the betting on the day and you can bail out.
|

By:
I wouldn't be surprised if Keely came 3rd
