[The Cockney Don]

Yaaaaaaas.

de Zwaan beats Tosspot 11-9.

 

Match of the night up last : Ando v Barney.

[minijc]

Typical I get an unbelievable price on Lewis and he doesn't win, still 17/10 (sat night) on a 4/11 shot is as good as it gets, some finish to win it from the boy like.

Agree great finish under pressure

[caledonia]

Anderson did well winning after being 5-1 down in a race to 11 v RVB

Sounds like the bookies got it right again.

So right they instantly cut the price on Saturday night and put him odds on after 2 bets, k.

Every losing bet is a shit bet.

[minijc]

Every losing bet is a shit bet.

Hahaha and that's exactly why you'll never make money from betting, if you've not worked it out yet it was a palp, two bookies put the wrong price up and it was worth the bet as another bookies had him at 4/7 at the time.

Well aye, nobody makes money from losing bets.

That's not the point, a losing bet can still be a good bet just like a winning bet can be a bad bet.

Bets come down to reasoning, here's an example for you, pro player playing in a big match, the night before his manager is telling people to back his opponent at a big price as his player doesn't want to win the match, is it a good or bad bet to back his opponent at 6/1 when there's a fairly big chance the game is going to be thrown?

 

Here's another, local football team is missing a lot of players and their manager is in a bookies asking for a price on their opponents, you follow the bet but they manage to hold on for a draw, is it a good or bad bet?

You're losing the plot. Go out and get a ride or something.

 

I've never in my life heard someone call a winning bet (no matter how long the odds were) a bad bet. Of course, I don't have a WhatsApp chat with professional gamblers so you'll know much more than me pal.

 

The first scenario you'd be pretty daft to gamble because unless the other player knows the fix is in (opening them both up to match-fixing allegations) then you're still betting on one human outperforming the other.

 

Second scenario is again daft because unless the players are actively trying to lose, why would you place it?

First one I should've said that the opponent is the good players practice partner and best mate.

 

Second one you're probably right but when the team only has 11 players and playing against one of the better teams in the league it's a good bet.

Expert moving of the goal posts

I get what minis on about. Croatia weren't a bad bet at 33/1 to win the WC, they didn't win but got very close and at a decent price. Realistically they should've been a lot shorter at the start of the tournament. You can have a good bet that loses.

doubt you would have got paid at 17/10 for Lewis to win his match as clearly a palp, and that prices were wrong way round on whatever site you used - there's something in small print in every bookies T+C if its clearly a palpable error then reserve right to amend prices

Yeah I know but it was worth taking the chance, will never know if they'd have voided it or altered the price had he won, I'm taking that bet every time though.

[Reed or deed]

Only watching updates on flash score but looks like that was just a 9 darter for Anderson against Cullen in the fourth leg?

Aye it was, immense as Cullen was handy in the leg keeping pressure on.

 

Made my first bet for the worlds tonight.

[caledonia]

Just watched the darts both matches were great

[minijc]

De Zwaan has been fantastic, putting up some serious numbers in his win and looks like a potential star, Anderson talking him up a lot too after the his match last night and is looking forward to the match, £45k for Ando getting the 9 is nice, he's been looking pretty good of late and historically the second half of the year if when he starts to turn the screw building up to the worlds.

[RUL]

I think Cullen played great but Anderson caused his own problems with his poor finishing. Cracking game overall and the 9 darter was just genius.

He's not entirely happy with his new set up, love the darts but said he needs to tweak with the flights as the dart was going too straight on the 20s and 19s.

[caledonia]

That must be the best darts Anderson has played all year against De Zwaan but De Zwaan held his own under the barrage

 

If Anderson plays like that in the final he should walk it but he wont be able to play at pace which is where the problem lies.

[minijc]

Yeah he hates playing against Sully, should still be a decent enough final though, good to see SUlly reaching another.

[minijc]

Incredible match

[The Cockney Don]

Anderson wins 21-19.

Suljovic with the better average(104.43 to 101.12) and better checkout percentage.

 

Although the crowds are normally ok at the Matchplay and they was again this year, some twat kept whistling when Mensur was throwing towards the end tonight,

[elephantstone78]

Incredible match

Best I have ever seen.

£160k in the hipper is not too shabby either

He missed a lot of doubles but once he gets his set up fine tuned he'll be scary as fuck, feel sorry for Sully though outrageous performance, average and I believe he's hit a world record amount of 140s which is absurd.

 

Added Anderson for the worlds at a fair price, backed Cullen the other night too as his price was wrong.
