Yep. 25 first dart leaves an out. I'm not convinced it's optimal in the slightest (and when he went for it with Cross not on a shot it was insane)

That's the reason, yeah. It has a lower success % than a handful of other 132 routes but most go for it because if you miss the first dart you still have a 2 dart checkout.

hump is 1.16 to win this game and 2.28 to win the tournament, which implies he'll be 1.97 to win the final if he makes it through, so a hair better than a flip

will change a slight bit if he looks awful/great in this semi

It's gotta be something around there for sure. I could see them making either of the two a slight favourite, though.

I was wondering earlier who Humphries was hoping for. I feel like it had to be Cross. Can't imagine anyone wants to play Littler right now, especially once the match was underway and Littler was answering adversity with 180s and absurd checkouts nearly every time.

The 1 thing that definitely isn't happening but would've been epic to watch is Littler beating MVG 7-1 or 7-2 in the final, not because I don't like MVG (love him) but because it would've just been absolute insanity to witness.

As long as Humphries doesn't win easily tomorrow it's going to be very entertaining. Littler dominance or a good, close final will be awesome to watch.

Humphries is better - just. Littler's easily been playing good enough in any timescale you want to look at in the last eight months or shorter that the market says you can't bet Humphries, Littler's been playing better in this tournament, just feel like having binked three majors already this year and a phenomenal display in the semi counts just enough

TV figures were huge, nearly 50% more than the previous highest of the Anderson/Taylor final

Maybe 7-4 since it's Humphries in phenomenal form. He just seems like he can't come close to losing right now and I don't see any reason why that's going to change.
