Types of Darts Betting Markets

When betting on Darts, betting markets are typically split into two types of market, live match betting markets and outright tournament markets.

For individual matches, you have the option to bet before the match or bet live and in-play, both can be beneficial but the types of markets that you'll find for these are specific to individual matches.

Match bets can includes the likes of leg betting, which involves asian handicaps, the total number of legs in a match and correct score.

One of the specific darts betting markets is 180s, where bettors can bet on the total number of maximums, the number hit by individual players and the player to hit the first and last 180.

Darts checkout betting is also available, so if you're looking to back 9-dart finishes, 170 checkouts, bullseye checkouts or ton-plus checkouts, you can find a wide range of checkout specials.

The other type of online betting market available for Darts is outright betting, which is significantly simpler than placing live bets as they only include winner bets.

With these bets you can back the winner of tournaments such as the World matchplay and individual sections such as quarters and finalists betting.

Bet on PDC Tournaments

Ultimately, if Darts players want to make more money and play in the biggest tournaments, they need to move up the PDC order of merit and to do that, they need to perform well in PDC tournaments.

The PDC hosts several of Darts most reputable tournaments including the likes of the PDC World Championship, the World Cup of Darts and the World Matchplay. Chaired by Eddie Hearn, the PDC has brought fantastic darts action to the world since 1992, they host events almost daily for players to bet on, a large number of these tournaments act as qualifiers for the PDC World Championship. These are events on the Pro Tour, Q School, Players Championship, the European Tour and the PDC Challenge Tour.

Bet on the PDC World Championship

When looking to bet on the PDC World Championship, you'll be able to bet on the competition in stages. The opening rounds can cause a number of shock results as the biggest names can be drawn against smaller competitors who in a short set game, can definitely cause a number of upsets. Last year, James Wade, Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall were all eliminated in the first two rounds of the tournament.

It is also the tournament where PDC Development Tour winner Luke Littler made his name on the big stage, Littler made the final, eventually losing to Luke Humphries but Scott Williams also had a fantastic tournament, beating Michael Van Gerwen and Damon Heta before being badly beaten by Humphries in the semi-final.

The PDC World Championship can also be bet on in sections, there are four sections that can be bet on, each consisting of 24 players. Last year, Rob Cross, Luke Littler, Scott Williams and Luke Humphries were the quarter winners and made up the final four. If you backed that at the start of the tournament, you'd likely be a millionaire.

Bet on the World Matchplay

The PDC World Matchplay is one of the most exciting tournaments in Darts. Held at Blackpool's Winter Gardens, it is one third of the Darts Triple Crown, meaning you typically find many Darts greats going one step further to win this illustrious prize. Since Phil Taylor's retirement, the World Matchplay has become anybody's tournament and the last seven tournaments have been won by different players, making outsider bets for the World Matchplay, one to consider.

However, the best part of the tournament is that the best names are entered into the tournament, seeded and the unseeded competitors are winners of the ProTour qualifiers so we have some fantastic games on paper in the opening round. For example, in the opening round in 2024, Michael Van Gerwen was drawn against Luke Littler, Jonny Clayton was drawn against Raymond Van Barneveld. and Michael Smith was drawn against Gary Anderson.

Similar to the PDC World Championship, you can bet on the quarters of the World Matchplay.

Bet on the Premier League of Darts

The Premier League of Darts brings 17 nights of fantastic darting action for our bettors to place bets on. Touring the UK and certain areas of Europe, the eight players chosen face off against each other every week in a different location to gain points. Then after 16 nights, half the group is eliminated and we are left with the final four to face off in knockout competition.

The Premier League of Darts allows you to bet on individual nights of Darts and as any player can win on any given night, the possibilities are endless. Five out of the eight participants won a night of darts in 2024 but with Peter Wright winning just two matches in the entire tournament, it made his matches a little too easy to predict.

Despite winning two nights of action, Nathan Aspinall didn't make it to the final four after Michael Smith's dramatic victory on the final night. But it was Luke Littler who was victorious in his first Premier League darts event despite failing to win any of the first eight nights of action. Littler would win 4 nights out of 6 between night 9 and night 14 before putting in two dominant performances in the playoffs.

Betting on Daily Darts Tournaments

When looking to place bets on Darts, you'll often find betting markets for tournaments from different tours. For example, the Modus Super Series, the Winmau Development and Players Championship series provide a large number of tournaments across months of competition, during these events players have the opportunities to qualify for bigger events, you can often bet on these events and utilise player form to try and bet on players to win a night of these events.

Betting on Nine Dart Finishes in Darts

When looking to bet on Darts, a nine dart finish is one of the most difficult things to achieve in the sport. Between 1984 and 2002, a nine dart finish had only been achieve twice. In the modern day, nine-dart finishes happen more often! In 2022, Gerwen Price hit two nine-darters in one night! The first coming in a Premier League semi-final victory over Michael Van Gerwen with the scores tied at 2-2 and the second came in the final against James Wade with the scores tied a 1-1. However, that doesn't beat Phil Taylor's impressive feat in 2010 where he landed two Premier League finishes in one night. The first while 1-0 down to James Wade and the second in a vital 15th leg where the two were tied at 7-7.

Phil Taylor currently has the most nine-dart finishes in history with eleven but Michael Van Gerwen has 10 and could soon overtake the Power. However, by 2015, Phil Taylor had hit a quarter of the nine dart finishes in history with 11/44.
