Must be 2011

Gando v Fatpot
And that year, Anderson was the best in the tournament but Lewis was the best on finals night.

Probably sat in his Barbados beach front villa , watching on, having backed Littler at 250-1 in September after being behind the curtains during the pre filming at the ' Ally Pally mock up ' in Sky Studios.
Think he got fed up of not being appreciated on here from what I remember.
I followed him on a utube channel for about 2 years .
He had a huge following .
It won some award I remember.
He predicted the first 3 in the right order in some big horse race somewhere , told everyone it was pre filmed
The odds were ridiculous.
So many people won money on it there was an investigation and next thing the channel went down.
I remember he bought a racehorse and named it after himself , it won about 7 or 8 races in a row.
Last I heard he was moving to Barbados .
The last tip i ever remember he gave was Argentina to win the World Cup 2022 , he was on about it all year . 9-1 if i remember. Used to love his show .
He often mentioned this forum.


Fair play to him. If only he could come on here after the event and brag to everyone.
So he isn’t going to be standing for parliament at the next GE then.
I really hope N.C.B can come on here just once more ( we’ll more actually) and tell us all again about his success.
Doubt it pal..
I remember he said they banned him on here because he became bigger than the forum 🤔
He had a phrase " They feared my methods "
I have no contact details since the utube channel went.

I remember one subscriber contacted him saying her mother was terminally ill , she begged him for help
He said prayers for her and it was filmed for their regional tv news, after the main news type slot.
The mother made a full recovery.

Had an alarm set for 3:45 when the opening semi-final was kicking off, didn't get up, but I did manage to wake up about half an hour later, just in time for Littler to take the second set, Luke, you can thank me later

Cross had controlled the match early on, averaging around the 110 area, and Littler with negative body language. Cross had darts for 2-0 in sets. Once he missed that, and Littler made it 1-1 in sets, Littler had about 3-4 sets of ruthless finishing while Cross' finishing became patchy. Cross missing set darts for a 2-0 lead was the most important part of the match.

How many 180s are we on for the tournament? 876 I think? The record is 901 isn't it? Should get there easily

The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Very enjoyable to have no Pyke commentary in the Semis.

Hope it continues for the Final too.

Hoping for Mardle/Part then Webster/Dawson

No Studd or Pyke would be good
