For a lot of them it's having the finances to go full time. There is a piece on the BBC website about Scott Waite and the fact he still has a full time job and only gets to practice for one hour a day.

This is what I don't understand about waites. He's clearly the best player in the BDO and would seamlessly move into probably the top 10 in the PDC. He is a plumber to trade and I believe makes a very decent living out of it. However, even modest PDC players, Jamie Caven for example, make in excess of 100k a year playing in the PDC circuit. Surely waites would be better off moving across?

im sure he was interviewed when he he won the grand slam and he said he plays darts for the fun and not the finance. Each to their own eh but he could be earning fortunes in the pdc

I thought she had beat someone famous. Thought it might have been Thornton.

 

What a red neck for VDV.

I think she also took Mardle to sudden death once.

 

She is a looker. Regardless.

Firstly Waites is a joiner to trade.

 

Next, Jamie Caven doesn't make 100k a year, he's made 120k over the last two years. I'd argue it's really only the top ten players in the pdc making that sort of money.

 

Its not easy money playing darts. Its easy for the top players to claim it's easy but look at the standard of player just below the top 16. There guys are amazing players, a standard anyone would be happy to reach but not the elite standard required to get into the real money.

 

It's a massive undertaking to go pro in the pdc. You're looking at needing 10-20k sponsorship just to cover the year and then you have to win to earn. Huge pressure. Anyone whos been along to a typical weekend event would be shocked at the standard. It is immense as the floor format suits a lot more of the players.

 

IMO Scott is looking at it and saying I'm happy to just make my living and play pressure free. Winning is a bonus. Look at ted hanky...toiling. if Scott goes off the boil he's fine, he's not going to lose his house etc.

 

Waites is obvious favourite but Wilson is playing excellent aswell. Kist is interesting. He's just back from injury and is improving quick again. If could be dangerous

Bunting is 9/4 favourite.

 

Waites is a shite bag if he has the chance to go to the PDC and hasn't taken it. Hope he get's messed out in the 1st round.

That's some effort not even reaching the board :lol:

 

The folk that hang around the BDO are almost always shite bags that want to continue to be classed as "World Champions" rather than get better and move to the big league, I'd like Waites to get popped out early doors.

Can't wait for this to start.

 

Nothing better than sleeping through it all day, rough on the sofa on a Sunday.

Someone said Waites could easy make the step up to the PDC. :lol:

 

He won the BDO with an average of 89.

 

He'd get papped oot the first round PDC with that.

 

Absolute cockwomble.
