Advantages: priceless entertainment, not your average sport

Disadvantages: arm hurts after a while

for what the game of darts involves, there is a substantial amount of money to be made if you can make it pro!
come every january i get the darts bug when the world championships commence at frimley green. i have been a fan of darts for years and am inspired to play when watching the tournament, yet once its over i fail to keep my enthusiasm to play. it takes dedication to get to a high standard and its no fun practising alone. you need a couple of mates to play with.
what i love about darts is anyone can play it, although there are certain sterotypes which appear to have survived over the years.
bobby george is a british icon let alone a great darts legend!
and then you have andy fordham - when was the last time you watched a sporting event where a 30stone man collapsed on live tv and had to be stretchered off to hospital? and now that he lost all that weight his story is even more remarkable.
darts seems to get a bad press in general sporting terms probably because fat middle aged balding alcoholics shouldnt be classed as sportsmen in their eyes. i think its a shame that darts is yet to be classed an olympic sport but hopefully it will be 2012 and we will have a decent shot of a medal when we host the games!

Summary: not just for the sterotypical darts player
