BDO World Darts Championship 2008

Nice punting Dave Any tips on the 180s punts tomorrow appreciated.

Not sure about what to do for the final - still got the outright punt on Whitlock alive - to be honest at the odds available I'm not really tempted into laying off. Webster is scoring better, but he doesn't look too solid on his doubles, and just seems to want it so much then when it comes to the crunch tomorrow, the brilliantly solid Whitlock might just pip him. Will reconsider tomorrow.

Cheers Beanie.

Can't see anything I like for the final. I certainly wouldn't be backing Webster on the 180s market at the prices though.

Aye well done Dave, the final looks like its going to be a close affair with nothing between these two.

If it comes down to nerve then i see Whitlock taking it as he looks very cool under pressure but he does have a tendency to lapse in the early legs by not taking them too seriously which could let Webster in as i can't see whitlock taking 3 legs on the bounce against him.

Its a tough call and i suppose overall i would go with Whitlock but i won't be betting on it as theres not much between these two.

Nice punting folks and it was a good standard in the final.

Won't be seeing him in the PDC though for the forseeable future. Got close contacts through his GF and the stupid cnut doesn't want to move as it would mean hardly seeing his chick as she plays the womens BDO circuit

Rumours of a few other top players going across though Kiko.

Are they good enough?

From what little I've seen of this Comp' the standard is fuckin abysmal compared to the other lot.

[Hippy Dave]

IMO the standard was higher in the BDO this year. It's the first time I've ever said that, and I'm not a fan of the BDO in general, but compared on averages this year I think the PDC was 2nd best this time.

The top players from the BDO will certainly make their mark if they move, Anderson in particular has the potential to dominate for a period as Bristow and Taylor have in the past.

You know better than me Dave but in the match I watched on Saturday afternoon they were struggling to hit 100s and 180s were a rarity.

It was like watching women play...but without the eye injuries.
