Anyone else catch Pipe "coughing" as Smith threw his double for the match?

Quick takes:

Drunk Santas

The Wizard..go get some kid
Gutty game for Smith but if he brings that same type of game vs Cross that he did today I think he's gonna get got.

Adam West era Batman dude
Then...Justin Pipe...just so...

No way Smith doesn't get smoked by Cross IMO.

Also, the new score bug for the PDC is ****ing ****.

Bring back the classic red/blue/black theme, none of this green ****.

Not that he deserves anything from this match but damn that bounce out was a brutal beat for Huybrechts

This holding would make my predictions look amazing until Webster inexplicably loses to Petersen later

I'm sure I've asked this before but has anyone done research of some sort on wether a good marker actually helps?

Need to check out understack.com to give you that betting edge if me saying bet on Webster and Richardson isn't getting you the results you need

Random question - I've always had this thing about the target not being round (except for the bull, obv). When someone throws and hits a 20, say, is there any record of where in the 20 the dart is? I have a feeling that some sucker used to track this and it would appear on a giant board so the crowd could see (before big screens)?

Not sure, but just knowing the ave distance from the centre of the target would be great. You can be 0.5cm off and miss or 2.5cm (or whatever) and hit when it comes to doubles.

live pdc scores show whether someone misses on the skinny side (inside the treble) or the fat side (outside the treble) but no idea if anyone misses by X mm's etc...

DVDB is legit though.

I don't think anywhere near that level of tracking is in existence, but there's certainly stats you can look at with regards to the bull for general accuracy, think ochepedia on twitter did a graphic recently plotting the percentages of bull/25/anything else

I'm doing the analysis for this one and the remainder of tomorrow's games I've not done when I'm back from the pub, but the market has it nearly 75/25 in favour of Cross which seems far too one sided just off gut instinct. Perfectly possible that Smith can play his A game and still lose but he looked good in round one
