First match 19.45 and the next 21.15. 

[Satriales 655]

I've enjoyed this years tournament. Only 1 former winner left in the final 4.

Better late than never, but it's nice to see some love for the darts on here. 

First game now about to start; the pundits have tipped Littler but I think it might be a bridge too far so I'm going for Cross.

[Midlands Yellow 3,995]

2.1 in sets to the lad. 

[The Raptor 1,211]

Amazing so far

Littler is absolutely ridiculous. Cross is the world number six, he played very well and still got smashed.

[Ken Hairy 3,773]

This kid is an absolute freak. Put £2 on him after the 1st set of the 1st round, got 28s before his odds dropped through the floor 

[Satriales 655]

In the final at 16, absolutely crazy.

Bet you wish you’d put a bit more on him now 

unbelievable talent and the term freak is used to praise rather than condemn in this Sense

Hindsight is always the winner. I'd never heard of him but you could tell straight away he was special,  checked the odds and thought that's worth a couple of quid.

Wish I had heard of him previously, he was 66/1 at the start.

I follow darts pretty closely so I've been aware of Littler for a couple of years, so back when he still looked 25. He was tipped as one to watch in this tournament, but I thought even 66/1 was being tight and largely based on people putting money on him due to the hype. I don't think anyone expected him to have this sort of impact. 

And as good as Littler was against Cross, Humphries is currently winning 4-0, averaging 109, has five ton-plus checkouts in this match and will become world number one in 20 minutes or so. 

This is threatening to be some final.

Yeah, I'm in two minds whether to take the £27 cash out 🤣.

I think the one thing that might go against Humphries is that he seems to let the crowd affect him when they're not on his side.

I don't know, he had the vocal part of the crowd booing and whistling him in round three against Pietreczko and it spurred him on more than anything, coming back from 3-1 down to win 4-3.

He has also won each of the last three majors and tonight's win will be his 18th in a row. 

Like I said, hell of a final in store.

[Satriales 655]

Should be a cracking final.  

[Canary Jedi 579]

Littler has the build of a certain Grant Holt. At the age of 16 he has massive potential as a long term answer to our striking needs!

Come on Luke!

I mentioned this in another thread-I don’t usually watch darts but I was at my brother’s house watching the first round with him. My brother had seen him win the PDC Junior World Championship. We both decided to put a bet on during that first set, the odds were 40/1 at that time. I couldn’t log on to my Bet365 account and he needed to add funds-he wanted to put £25 on but although he made 2 deposits they didn’t show on his account. Eventually he got £5 on his account but by that time the odds had dropped to 10/1. Still, it’s better than nothing!

[A Load of Squit 5,170]

Eddie Hearn is trying to big up the ratings for the darts but he's just showing that the sports that are on Sky get very low audiences.

Less than 3 million for the Ryder Cup & the Ashes is very poor, no wonder they had to sack all the high earning presenters and replace them with cheaper ones.

I saw something on twitter, someone put 15 quid on Luke at 200-1. Think the cashout is about £1600. Nervy night for that chap!

Programme starts on Sky at 19.30 but the final starts at 20.15 according to Bet365. And 20.00 according to the Beeb!

Fair enough. As it’s the final they’re bound to hype it up

I reckon the players make their entrance at 8. Should give them enough time to walk through the drunks to their song of choice. Then the 1st dart is 8.15

And there's me debating between £28 and £58 🤣

Any predictions for the match? LH might have a bit too much for LL if he brings his A game.

Got to be honest, can’t see anyone standing in littlers way
