Darts Betting with 1xBet - Best Odds & Tips
Darts is loud, dramatic and packed with momentum swings - and that makes every leg, every set and every nine-darter attempt a betting moment in its own right.​
Why Darts Betting is Popular in Ireland
Darts has always had a natural home in Irish pub culture, and the sport's explosion in popularity over the past decade - driven by packed arenas, huge TV audiences and characters like Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler - has brought a whole new wave of fans and bettors with it. With the PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) World Championship taking place every December and January, there's rarely a long wait for the next big event to bet on.​
A Guide to Types of Bets on Darts
Darts is very different from other sports due to its very specialized betting options because darts is more precise than other sports due to its precise betting options. Each turn at the oche is relevant when placing a bet:​
Match Winner - bet on a player to win in the match.
Handicap Betting - when a player is a clear favorite, legs or sets handicap is applied to balance the competition.
Over/Under (Total Legs/Sets) - determine whether the match is above or below a certain number of legs or sets.
Correct Score - predict the exact final sets score of the match for the player.
Highest Checkout - predict which player will have the highest finishing score during a match.
180's Scored - bet on the number of maximum score (180s) which will be achieved in the match.
Tournament/Outright Winner - before the match begins, select a player to win a PDC or BDO (British Darts Organisation) event.
Expert Insight: How Darts Betting Works Before the Match
Prior to the start of a match, a player's betting odds are calculated based on their form, consistency, efficiency, and of course, how well they play. In a game of darts, match legs and sets are played. Any scoring can change who wins a leg or a set. This means that how scoring and catching of a dart is played can determine who wins a game.
How well a player has performed before playing another match or player is a very important statistic. This is sometimes more important than how statistically heavy they are from a scoring perspective. There are often very minimal differences in a darts player's ability to finish that can determine who won a match.
Darts matches can be summarized by sets, legs, game wins, and scores, and those are the most important betting markets. For large darts tournaments 1xBet have large markets and good odds for betting darts live. A bet should be placed primarily on a finish. A lot of people place heavy bets because of a player or a ranking, but a bet should be placed more on a player's ability than a ranking.
