Darts Betting Odds

Darts is currently experiencing its boom years and interest in the professional game has never been greater. The success of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), along with the heritage of the British Darts Organisation (BDO), has helped build the profile of the sport worldwide.

Darts tournaments now attract thousands, even tens of thousands, of spectators. Some of these events are hosted in massive arenas, usually fit for rock bands and pop stars. With exceptional atmospheres, high-octane darts and a growing base of professional players, it’s easy to see why darts betting has become such an attractive prospect.

At BetVictor, we cover all the major darts tournaments throughout the season, culminating in the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace in London. Below, we’ll explore the rise of darts betting and why it’s such a fun sport to watch and bet on.

There are so many reasons why darts betting is one of the fastest-growing markets in terms of liquidity and we’re going to explain why below:

• Darts has a unique scoring system. Using legs and sets instead of points or goals, it’s easy to get to grips with darts odds once you understand the scoring system.
• There are very few rules in darts to be aware of. This makes it a very simple sport to bet on. Just decide which player will get their starting total to zero by finishing on a double as many times as possible.
• Darts is an all-year-round sport. Tournaments are hosted throughout the calendar year, so there’s always something to bet on once you’ve got to grips with the sport’s dynamics.
• There is a growing razzamatazz surrounding darts, with increased broadcast and media coverage helping you to keep your fingers firmly on the pulse of the world’s best darts pros.

The simplest of all the darts betting market options, just bet on which darts player you think will win an upcoming match. Matches are usually played in a best-of format across legs or sets. Darts matches played in a best-of legs format are typically described as matchplay events.

 Outright Winner

Outright darts betting markets show the odds of a darts player winning an upcoming tournament. Whether it’s the UK Open, the World Matchplay or the World Championship, you’ll be able to place futures bets on darts players hitting form at just the right time.

 Handicap Betting

Handicap darts bets are an opportunity to find pre-match value on favourites as well as underdogs. Pre-game favourites will usually start with a deficit in legs against the underdog. The handicap market will show the odds of the favourite winning and overcoming the hypothetical leg deficit. This is a particularly popular market for darts matches involving red-hot favourites who may be a very short price in the match winner market.

 Next Leg Winner

One of the most popular live betting markets among darts fans, the next leg winner market is a chance to back the winner of the next leg; it really is that simple. If you’re able to spot a player gaining or losing rhythm, the next leg winner market can be a very clever route to take with your darts betting.

 Most 180s

This is another simple market to understand as a newbie to darts betting. Just pick the darts player you think will throw the most 180s in the entire match. A 180 is a three-dart throw of three treble 20s. It’s the highest score you can make in one visit to the oche.

 9 Dart Finish

Each sport has its pinnacle and the pinnacle for most professional darts players is to make a nine-dart finish. This means to win a leg, starting from a score of 501, in just nine throws. Many darts enthusiasts place a nine-dart finish on the same pedestal as snooker fans do with a 147 break. Michael van Gerwen sets a very high benchmark for these, surpassing Phil Taylor’s total of 25 career nine-dart finishes in recent times.

Handicap darts betting odds are some of the most popular among experienced darts bettors. It’s an opportunity to find value darts odds on pre-game favourites capable of covering a pre-match deficit in legs.

 Let’s say for example you wanted to bet on Michael van Gerwen -2.5 on the handicap against Peter Wright. This means van Gerwen would need to beat Wright by three or more clear legs for your bet to win.

 Similarly, if you were to back Peter Wright +3.5 against van Gerwen, your bet wins so long as Wright does not lose by four or more legs.

 One of the most popular markets for live darts bettors is betting on which player will win the next leg. Let’s say the scores were tied 5-5, the next market would be ‘To win leg 11’.
