When was the last time a non-fatty won it ?
I,ve tried on bet365 to put some money on a skinny or medium built chap but can't find the bet.
I,m talking small breasted men here.
I think Keith Deller was the last skinny to do well, however, when he started out in Darts he used to drink semi skimmed milk but has porked up since moving through to full fat to having the occasional Jersey.
MVG and Wade have both won majors whilst being thin. But... Both have proper beer bellies now.
So it's the actual playing of darts that makes you fat. Interesting. I,m sticking to the odd game of pool then.
They wouldn't be so fat if they threw the darts overarm at a dartboard 20 yards away and had to walk back and forward to get the arrer's back.
What like that Nordic skiing where they ski for a few miles and then shoot a gun at a target. I think you're onto something here Veg.
Trouble is, it would make it a bit awkward to play in the pub and it could be hazardous for onlookers if played in the beer garden.

Put some money on Gary Anderson then - he's not porky.
I think the reason over the years is players go to the pub to practice - you'd be amazed at what part alcohol plays for players to play their best games too. Some have to reach exacty the right level of pissed to play their best.
There are a number of smaller players on the tour but unless you really follow darts you'll struggle to name most of them...
Make it a sport/ pursuit to keep fit. They roller skate around an oval rink throwing 9 darts at specifically placed boards.
Pubs are for drinking beer.
Big Bill Weibenuik (sp) told the inland revenue that beer was tax deductible because he could only play when he had had his fair quota. Apparently he could drink nigh on 30 pints in a day. Snooker I know but same difference I suppose.
You may have something there yourself. but, forget the boards, just target the hoodies that hang about at the skateparks. Moving targets, albeit slow, would be more fun plus its good for the economy to keep the dead wood down.
