The PDC World Championship over Christmas.
Every pub in Wales has it on.
Walk-on music. Crowd in fancy dress. Someone dressed as a giant chicken singing along to the entrance song.
Then the player throws and the room goes quiet for the three seconds it takes the dart to land.
Loud to silent in under a second. Repeatedly. For three hours.
Snooker is the opposite. The whole match is the silent part. Someone coughs during a break-building sequence and the crowd actually shushes them.
Two sports that couldn't be more different in atmosphere, both running on frame and leg markets that are more sophisticated than they look from the outside.
Bet on darts every Christmas. Never thought about it analytically until this thread occurred to me.
