Darts is referred to in the Media as a sport, but due to the lack of physical effort places it further down the "sports continuum", same with snooker.
How about Ballroom Dancing?

A 147 takes 37 perfect shots. A 9 dart only takes 9. If you got a billion monkeys playing darts and snooker the probability is that they would get a9 dart finish before they get a 147.

Can't compare.
Both are quite outstanding when achieved.
However, it is "easier" to pot a snooker ball than it is to throw a dart into a bed the size of a treble. Proof of this???? People pot a ball more often than they hit a treble 20.
However, in snooker the positional play comes into it.....
Yep - as said, non comparable.

I'd say 9 darter.....just
Snooker players hit 147's in practice fairly often apparently, dont think this is the case for the 9 darter.
never seen it done, personally I have hit two 180's in a row in a competetive game but muffed up the finish

Got to be a 147, you need luck on splitting the reds also need to move the white around the table and remember which order to pot the colours.
9 darter you need to repeat the same throw 7 times ie hit treble 20 or 19, then complete 2 different numbers. I could do that no worries, but I cant afford the beer to practise, or new trousers with a 54inch waist

147 requires a much broader set of skills, it's not just the potting, it's the positioning and also some luck. Throwing a dart is throwing a dart.
Agree though that both are great displays of skill.
