Will darts hit big in The US after the world series of darts is on ESPN this july?

Question

The world series of poker coverage has made poker a huge sport and allowed amatures to take center stage in big tournaments. Can ESPN do it again with the upcoming World Series of darts coverage begining in July?

Answer 1

I think that would be awesome to see darts played more on television, especially since it was shown television before poker was....

Answer 2

Darts was on TV before poker believe it or not. There was a match in England that involved Bobby George about 15 years ago. I believe the tournament was the British Open. I'm not 100 percent sure but I remember seeing dart championships on tv.

Answer 3

I don't know. I saw a "World Championship Of Dominoes" on ESPN2 a few days ago, but I don't think that dominoes is going to be the new thing. Darts might be because they are more entertaining. But its not like poker where its a big guessing game. Darts is either luck or skill, nothing else. But you never know.

Answer 4

I played darts in a league for years in Atlanta and Stone Mountain leagues and I like poker and playing it, but I think with ESPN coverage it should really catch on big time. I hope so.

Answer 5

Darts is very huge in the US. Go to any bar on anynight
probably around 7 PM and those drunken dart players are
usually a team.

I have played darts on leagues for over 7 years and every
year we go to Las Vegas for the finals.
