The curse of the nine-dart finish at PDC World Darts Championship as Damon Heta latest to fall victim

Damon Heta On Friday afternoon, he became the second player, after Christian Kista, to throw a nine at the World Darts Championships. But just like with “Lipstick”, Heta ended up losing the match.

And this is nothing special if we look at the history books. Players who throw nine darts at the World Darts Championship lose the match more often than they win.

Heta’s ninth darter was the sixteenth in the history of the PDC World Darts Championship. He was the ninth player who failed to win the match.

Especially in recent years, there has been a tendency for the player who rolls a nine to lose the game. In the last 11 nine darts, the player who threw it lost eight times.

Dean Winstanley, Terry Jenkins, Kyle Anderson, Adrian Lewis, James Wade, Darius Labanauskas and Gerwyn Price are seven other players who have lost matches in the past after bowling a perfect leg.
