You mean apart from the fact that the 3 components of the bet represent a treble at 4/1 or thereabouts and are being offered at 11/4 ? Given that 2 legs of the treble counter the third I think it's way past bad to be knocking a full point off the bet. Maybe that's just me though ...

Maybe its just you....I really didnt think about it all that much.
I simply think Cross will get more 180's and a higher CO and am unsure if he'll win the match.
Its all my humble opinion,Im no mathematician.

Likewise

But if I get a better price for the same bet by crossing the road I'm generally inclined to cross the road

Imagine the effect all this would have on MVG lol

Is it just me or is there way more 174, 171, and 177s being thrown than there use to be? Infuriating seeing MvG switch so much when have him backed for most 180s

I think they switch more to 19,18 than they used to

Double 16 doesn't seem as popular as it was from my limited viewing

hungover emotional

Cross 7-5

If there was only one of Cross and MVG (and Lewis?) he might be contesting that in 15-20 years...

Three high scoring trebles like 177's require more skill than 180's and should be considered as 'maximums'.

Paul Nicholson on the radio just now says he has spoken too Keegan brown and Gary Anderson and that they are very unhappy with Taylor. He played "dirty darts" was talking to them while they threw the darts, lauding them and sniffling, doing everything he could to break their concentration.
Seems he's getting an easier ride than Justin Pipe

shock horror - sky wont mention it

please let cross win if there is any justice in this world

You could see Anderson getting upset by it ,

That's one for the DRA to look at then. Must try find a podcast of it

Taylor has definitely been very slow retrieving his darts too

The greatest, but a very odd individual

Phil Taylor a great winner and terrible loser.

Presumably if Brown or Anderson confirm it.

Otherwise I don't think they'll be too bothered by the hearsay of some player who had a feud with Taylor and always had a massive chip on his shoulder.

If a player thinks another is intentionally distracting them during a match there is a referee there if they want to make a complaint.

Instead of involving the ref the player affected probably mentions it to the other when they go out for a break but thats only playing into their hands and they'll only continue knowing they're getting under the other's skin.

I don't think he'd say Anderson and Brown said it to him live on national radio if the players did not say it.

Regarding against Anderson, it was as plain as day, Anderson was clearly annoyed but being the gent he is just said nothing in the aftermath and left it.

Brown is always a bit all over hte shop emotion wise so it would have been less obvious.

To be honest anyone who doesn't think there is any truth in this is either extremely naieve or has never seen Taylor in action.

A few people have mentioned about the crowd being locked and being able to drink until after midnight at the semi finals, I've been to Ally Pally most years and know how the bars work. For the semi finals the bar closes once one player gets to 4 sets in the second game. Likewise for the final, the bar closes when a player gets to 5 sets. There's nothing stopping you drinking as much as possible before the bar closes though!

They sell beer by the pitcher so you can buy yourself a couple of pitchers before the bar closes to keep yourself going.

But maybe they only made some passing comment and he completely developed the issue and built it up. That's why hearsay is pretty useless, there is no way of assessing and questioning the accusation. If it was as big a real as Nicholson makes out, presumably the players themselves will confirm it.

I wonder is there also an element of not wanting to let the crowd see you're getting nervy.
If rightly so you air a grievance with the ref, I can see the crowd picking up on the this and being more vocal against you. I know it could go both ways but the way they can carry on they're more likely to side with Taylor.

Are you so fixated with Phil Taylor you are now seeing him where he doesn't exist?

sc86

the ****e talk on social media is a fever pitch

taylor has been at the dark arts for as long as im watching it
the players should expect it and get on with it or do it back

the yearly viewers calling it bitter from anderson and hes a sore loser? he said nothing after the match and took his defeat on the chin
anderson should not have let it get to him

phil will want to win this at all costs so id expect more tonight if cross is playing as he can


cross is playing better but phil has the experience
its on a knife edge if cross has the bottle then he wins - just
he could go out and lose 7 -2
cant wait
