Does anyone enjoy watching or playing darts?

I'm following the darts since the 2014 World Championship. Watch both PDC and BDO. I really enjoy watching it but the disappointing thing is the PDC tournaments are all sponsored by betting companies, which sometimes gives me a negative feeling when watching. How do you look at this?

Hi Jorn
I watch both organisations, I don't take any notice of the betting its something I stay away from, I just enjoy watching them play, its a big sport in your country with lots of great players, the world championship will be starting next month.

And there will be 96 players participating:) I think we will see some upsets in the first two rounds. Maybe there will be even players from outside the top 32 surprise the top players.

I play darts myself in the local league. Maybe I will play in some BDO open tournaments in one or two years:)

Yeah, it's a big field this year, agree there will be some shock exists, usually, someone who hasn't been playing great, has a good run too, it was Jamie Lewis last year.

I used to play local league years ago, Bdo is a good starting point they still have some really good players in there rankings, I wouldn't be surprised if Adrian Lewis has a good run.

Good to see Alan Tabern and Wayne Jones back at the big stage. I really like the older players. Steve Beaton is my favorite. Hope he has a good run but the World Championship isn't really his best tournament the last 10 years. Who is your favorite player?

Yeah i like the old players too, I wouldn’t say I have a favourite player, I enjoy watching MVG and Gary Anderson,
I like Kevin painter from the old school, do you know if Cory cadby is in this years championship.

I don't know about Cadby. I heard he has visa problems which was also the reason he didn't play at the Grand Slam. Kyle Anderson couldn't play at the World Championship due to visa problems two or three years ago.

Yeah that’s right both good players look forward to seeing the draw.
