The Cockney Don Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yaaaaaaas.de Zwaan beats Tosspot 11-9. Match of the night up last : Ando v Barney. Link to comment
minijc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 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. Link to comment

minijc Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 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.

minijc Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 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?

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? 1 Link to comment

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. Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 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. Link to comment

Reed or deed Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Only watching updates on flash score but looks like that was just a 9 darter for Anderson against Cullen in the fourth leg? Link to comment

Made my first bet for the worlds tonight. Link to comment

minijc Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Just watched the darts both matches were greatDe 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 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 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. Link to comment
minijc Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 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 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Yeah he hates playing against Sully, should still be a decent enough final though, good to see SUlly reaching another. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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, Link to comment
elephantstone78 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Incredible matchBest I have ever seen. £160k in the hipper is not too shabby either Link to comment
minijc Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Best I have ever seen.£160k in the hipper is not too shabby eitherHe 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. Link to comment
