would darts be considered one of these sports that is very hard to predict any sort of result,as the room for error is so minimal,,dont no much about darts.....
have you been able to make a profit from darts..

just a suggestion,as its your tread
if you start with a balance, say 100 points/euro,and bet accordingly with the points, i.e if your confident put more points/euro on the bet,visa versa..
this way it will help the reader whether to follow your selections or not,it will also determin whether your in profit or not..;)

And if you lose, say 100pts/€ just edit it to 10 pts/€ and hope no-one will notice, eh Coughlan.

no it would give me a better indication that you've a nice little kitty from the parents to work from,although i'll give you the benefit of the doubt,i'll check out your bets but darts is dodgey,actually any individual sport is dogdey,

i play a lot of golf,i can tell before the round how i'm going to play by my practice
likewise dart and snooker players to name a few will practice before they compete,it's a 50/50 bet when you're talking about like v like as it is in the premier league darts

who's this aimed at,use the quote,
and no you're not better backing on horses,only way to back horses is if you inside info,i use to but not anymore so i only back when i go to the track and the grand national for a bit of craic for the kids
actually might back 1 in the irish national on Monday

Why post statements that you clearly haven't got the foggiest about? What if you just know alot about horses, watch alot of horse racing, are able to study horse, jockey and training form excellently and make selections based on that coupled with course and ground? How exactly is that any different to picking the results of any sport? The difference being that horseracing isn't a sport that most people are that educated on, so they assume its just luck.

it was aimed at dotsflan,only new to boards,betting is a mugs game to be honest with you!!i went to cheltenham to see my uncles horse running and he was fancied but came in sixth,hes one d last six grade ones out of seven so its a good horse!sure denman was the banker for the festival and he fell,id rather back a horse than a human,humans are un-reliable!!hahaha

You mean Kauto Star, and he certainly was no banker, has a history of falling so it was no great surprise when he did. If he stayed up he'd probably have won though in spite of the fact that he didn't run at his best.

that just a load of bs and i'll tell ya why
i did own a horse along with 3 friends many years ago,so i know probably more than you do regarding horses
now to tackle your point,if it was as easy as you say and it was all down to form,track etc it would be great
that's not the case,trainers not training horses to be fit for races(i have first hand experience of this)and telling the owners same is the main reason why i stay away in general
if backing horses was that easy why did so many punters just like you loose their hole during Cheltenham
look at all the winners in Cheltenham,you'll do well with the majority of winners to find reasond why you should have in fact backed those horses

i agree with the above but what about the human on top,regarding other betting snooker is probably the most corrupt and easy to cheat in
that's why if i'm having a serious bet i'll stick with team sports,my fav is club hurling,have made a fair few quid over the years with that,paddy power arn't up to scratch with their price when players are missing or injured

personally, i think there's too many variables with horses, you're back a horse a jockey, course/goiing and stable, all with their own mutliplying factors. at least with darts/snooker/tennis it's usually down to the individual and the playing surface, just my opinion based on too many years betting. now i'm off to have a bet on mark williams in the china open.

Em the point I'm making is that bookies make a mint off every sport, with racing no more of a losers game than any based on your knowledge of the respective sports. You know tonnes of football matches are thrown too right?

This is reflected in the odds you get.

wouldn't disagree,lots of matches thrown,you won't catch me backing on any foreign league(bar uk),
as i stated earlier,for me the most profitable over the years has been club hurling matches,i have a bookie who will take decent bets off me,absolutely no corruption and a huge gulf betwen certain teams

yeah, i realise that. the point i was making is that from a gambling point of view there are way less variables involved in sports like snooker and tennis.
