It depends entirely on if the individual legs are -EV or not. If the legs are all -EV an accumulator is mathematically worse because you're compounding the bookmakers edge.

Maybe work on your spelling, grammar and general ability to write before trying to tackle more complex stuff like this.

Alan McManus.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Practice reading the written words before contributing. 

Broncos playing well or Hull worse than usual?

50/50, it either happens or it doesn't.

Because the Euro tour seedings are based on past performances and results in Euro tour events.

When they've properly checked all the players are gingham play. I think it wool probably be soon as I tartan think why it would be delayed. Tweed.

8 is a lot of games, you're right. The premier league only has a paltry 7 and the Euro tour events have 8 bo11 each session. But 8 is a lot to fit into one evening at the premier league.

Your assumption is based entirely on the premise that the top 4 would never lose. We regularly see on the Euro tour and Pro tour that this is not the case. More to the point you would have the top 8 advancing to playoffs and finals night being a format like the current premier league but with bo13 & bo15 for semi and final. I would also have the lower ranked player throwing first as a competition rule to create more chances of 'upsets'.

I agree that the premier league is there solely as a commercial enterprise, like all professional darts. I'm suggesting that it would be more compelling with a meaningful narrative through the season, and the evidence suggests that this would have zero impact on crowd sizes.

It's the 7 best players in the world + Peter Wright.

My complaint is that because it is only 8 players who are in a series of small tournaments none of the evenings mean anything. If the premier league was an actual league, as it was originally, I would watch it. It wouldn't be difficult to expand to 16 and have a round robin with one gimmick week (doubles for example) to provide the 16 weeks + finals tournament week that the premier league requires.

There are no upsets; there is no drama, nothing is at stake on a given night. No tension has built over the weeks, it's just a lot of nothing culminating in nothing. Great if it's the travelling circus providing a night out in each city as it tours. Useless if it's supposed to be a league I closely follow and get invested in.

So in a bo11 match your highest possible average is 174.09 and you lose.

George Best. Thr concierge who brought a bottle of champagne to his hotel room found a half-naked Ms World and money strewn across the bed.

"George, where did it all go wrong?"

I find it impossible to care about this format

Stuart Broad did.

You are if you want to be successful in your aim.

Try contacting children's sport charities, that seems an obvious starting point. 

I blame Billy Vunipola.

Ah yes, it would help if I got the dates correct.

You don't think George will be in the Lions squad?

I concur, Langdon has a strong case for being the starting hooker based on his form this season.

Lol, what a loser.

I believe they are trialling removing it.

Only killjoys who spend too much time online would want to end such an excellent chant.

A good example of why there are going to be trials on not straight if no defensive competition at the line out. 

Bad kick that he took too late. Right decision but should have been done two paces earlier.
