Darts betting

Darts is popular in the US and the UK, but you can also bet on darts in Russian legal betting sites. This article will tell you how to bet on darts, what kinds of bets are available and how to win a bet with a betting bank.

Features of darts betting

Darts is a sport in which players throw darts at a target. It is played in world championships and major tournaments, and you need to be a professional to win.

A quick look at the rules of the game: darts is an individual sport. A game is divided into sets, with each set requiring 3-5 legs to win, depending on the tournament. A match is played until a player wins in three sets, but there are exceptions.

Before the start of each leg, the player is awarded points – either 301 or 501. The players take turns throwing three darts at the target from a distance of 2.37 m. Depending on the sector on the target that the competitor hits, a certain number of points are deducted from the competitor.

The target is divided into 20 sectors, two doubling and tripling point rings, a bullseye and the centre of the bullseye. The aim is to zero the score in each lag before your opponent does. The balance must be brought down to zero, rather than going into deficit. That is, if a player has 12 points left, he must score exactly 12 points with his last shot (for example, doubling 6). Player must hit the bull’s-eye or double points with the final shot.

A peculiarity of darts is individuality. The fate of the encounter depends on the two players, not the team. Darts is not only about knowing how to throw the ball accurately, but also the ability to cope with the psychological factor at the crucial moment. Great players are also able to influence the opponent’s psychology and force him to make decisive blunders, unnoticed by the referees.

In contrast to football or hockey, where the rules are the same, in darts the input can vary from contest to contest. Before making a bet, you should find out the rules of the tournament.

Sensations are very rare here, especially if odds on the underdog are 4.0 or higher. Only seven men have ever been World Champions, and Phil Taylor has done so 14 times.

H2 Types of darts betting
Darts in sports betting is not a top discipline, but there is demand for it. What can you bet on?

The outcome of the match. The main type of betting. Since a draw is not ruled out, you can bet on P1, X or P2. Not all bookmakers have 3 outcomes in the line. If the bookmaker offers bets on two outcomes of a match, in case of a draw, it will be refunded. Even matches are rare, there is usually a favourite and an underdog.

  • Exact score by set. The game is played until three sets are won. Betting odds are 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 in favour of one of the participants. High odds are offered for this kind of prediction.
  • Handicap by set. As the match usually has a favourite and an underdog, bookmakers offer a handicap by sets.
  • Total sets played. The maximum number of sets in a match is limited to 5. There are totals of 3.5 and 4.5.
  • Checkout. In darts, this is the end of a leg in one sitting. Bettor has to guess whether one of the participants in the match can close the game with three shots.
  • The total of the approaches is 180 points. BKs offer to guess how many times a player will score a maximum of three throws (three triples of 20). The totals range from 1.5 to 6.5.
  • Other. Bookmakers are expanding the line on top tournaments. Therefore, new markets are emerging: from which colour the last dart will be launched at the target, to whether one of the participants can complete the set with the minimum number of throws (9).
  • Long-term bets (outright bets). Betting shops offer to guess the winner of a particular tournament before it starts.

How to bet on darts

Winning bets requires preparatory work, study of statistics, the history of personal meetings between athletes and other factors. There are darts betting strategies that can help you allocate your pot wisely.

Each tournament has its differences and peculiarities. The main differences are the number of legs in a set and the number of starting points a player has.

It’s important to learn about the individual talents of each player and their opposing history. Much depends on the current physical and mental condition of the players.

There are some darts betting strategies, and the authors of these strategies claim that they are a surefire way to winnings. But there are no one hundred percent strategies for betting on sports, and any strategy that works depends on its competent application.

In some tournaments it makes sense to play the underdog against the favourite. To do this, you need to keep track of whether the underdog has qualified and how confident it has done so. If they did, it means they are in good shape, but their starting opponent may not be ready yet.

We should check the statistics of previous matches. It is worth assessing how the athlete behaves on his own and others’ shots.

Which bookmakers can bet on darts

Bets on major darts tournaments are accepted in all legal betting houses, but they are limited to a minimum set of markets:

  • outcomes;
  • totals;
  • set handicaps.
