It was verry interesting to see how many people like darts in tv shows. It was also a boom like the big poker boom in the tv 10 years before. The atmosphre was like in a football stadium

Congratulations to Peter Wright from Scotland for winning the UK Open, earning himself £70,000. His family, friends, and fans must be very happy. He has had some crazy hairstyles over the years. I wonder what is the secret behind his hair.
All I know about darts is that triple 20 is better than bullseye which I think makes no sense at all. Also, I know you have to finish at zero to win. So when you get close to zero you have to hit the exact right number to win. Which is why In the end if you're not good at darts it's only a luck game... lol. skills are only involved when you're good at it.

Although this game is boring to watch on tv, it is fun to play. And the money from the tournament for this kind of game i think is very good. But you need lots and lots of practice on it 70k pounds for shooting at a target while drinking beer
Once almost ten years ago I lost close to seventy euros on a darts bet. Never ever since I have come close to wager money on darts again. I think I won't start it right now either. I hate all pub games anyway.

Peter Wright played fantastic darts all weekend and thoroughly deserved to win this title. I think that he is the second best, after MVG, darts player in the world and will be challenging for a lot more titles
This is a really good two bets .... and of course in such a game as darts it is difficult to make predictions for two good players .... so if you bet then you need to rely not on the strength of the players but on luck ... probably
