Darts World Championships 2024

[ICANTSPEYK]

Well it's that time of the year again, the Darts World Championships kick off tomorrow.

Any thoughts on this year? The bookies seemed to be keen on Gary Anderson but odds have dropped (?) to 14/1 now, it wouldn't surprise me if Luke Humphries wins but I dare say I find him quite boring. I had been rooting for Smith the last couple of years and was so glad he won last year!

I know these threads don't normally get busy until closer to Christmas, and I won't actually be watching tomorrow but it's here for anyone wanting to chat!

I can't remember who normally partakes other than I think @JaneJeffer ?

I'm in! I have finally explained how darts works to teen dd.

Ds keeps coming downstairs when he hears us shouting.

Dh even occasionally looks up from his laptop.

Great match!

Yep Littler is clinical and will clean up with any chance he gets, not the time to be faffing with doubles Humphries.

Stunning!

That 180 by Humphfries. Luke missed the Double 2. Humphries wins.

4-3

Could've been 5-2.

This is going all the way

This match has everything! Except a 9-darter! I put a quid on each of them 😁

4-4
Could've been 5-2.
Luke Littler has seriously missed a trick there. He'll look back on that and realise the mistake.

Some of the darts are chronic, even ds2 and I could score 47 and then in the next throw they throw a 180.

What odds did you get @MargotMoon

5-4 Humphries ahead.

Love that Margot had a bet.

@JaneJeffer They were both on 12-1

To get a 9-darter, that is (two separate bets)

Yay Littler finally got the 170

Hope you win @MargotMoon

I think Littler watched too much Phil Taylor. He's got all his moves.

Humphries had to win, surely?

Littler has a task on hand now

I can't see Littler coming back on this, sadly.

Will Russ get a presentation?

I was so hoping he would win butvI think you are right. Doesn't take anything away. What a talent

I hope so!!

No surprise. 😮

Well done Luke

Ahh gutted for Littler, especially as I really don't like Humphries ha
