Strategies for the Dart Game Cricket

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Rich Buccola here in Astoria Queens at the world's famous Doyle's Corner and on behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to show you how to throw some darts. Okay, so getting back to the game of Cricket and the strategy. You're playing your game. I might have hit a triple twenty and didn't hit anything else. But, what's great, sometimes in this game, you'll accidentally maybe hit an eighteen. That counts and you would close it. So, let's just say I got triple twenty and the other two darts went off the board. My opponent gets two twenties and one eighteen. So, that's who you would mark that. He's open here. So, I could go back now and hit a twenty, and if I hit a twenty, I would get twenty points. Now, we go down the whole game. This twenty points is going to give me a little bit of an edge. He has to make back this twenty points. He has to do that by closing a number that I don't have closed. So, he needs to hit that number three times, and then hit it a fourth time to get that amount of points. But, say he had his nineteens closed and I didn't, and he hit the fourth nineteen. He would get the nineteen points, but he's still not beating me. For you to win this game, you have to close out everything and have the most amount of points. So, remember, this is a very strategic way to play this game. You'll see guys that will come up, and if you don't close that twenty, they'll sit there and just bang twenties on you. Even though they might be closing stuff up, if I have a lot of points, he's going to have to try to come back and reget those points to win the game. So, remember, to win the game of Cricket you have to close out everything by hitting three of each number, from twenty to fifteen. You also need to hit three corks. But, more than that, you have to have more points. And when you get points it's when you have something closed and the other person doesn't. Play Cricket, have fun."
