Darts Betting

The PDC World Championship is the sport's biggest event — staged at London's Alexandra Palace, the famous 'Ally Pally', from mid-December into early January. A field of 128 players is whittled down in a set-play format, with the final a best-of-13 sets, and the champion lifts the Sid Waddell Trophy. It is the one tournament casual fans tune in for, and it draws the heaviest darts betting of the year. The World Championship betting page covers the outright, the format and the markets.

Premier League Darts is the season-long weekly league — a small field of the world's top players touring a different city each Thursday across roughly 16 nights from February to May. Every night is its own mini-tournament with a nightly winner, and results feed a points-based league table, with the top four reaching the play-offs. It is perfect for regular betting through the season; the Premier League page explains the nightly and league-table markets.

The World Matchplay is the summer major, held every July at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. Unlike the Worlds, it is played in a legs format rather than sets, which changes how matches — and the betting — unfold. It completes the Triple Crown alongside the Worlds and the Premier League. Read how the legs format shapes the markets on the World Matchplay page.

The match winner is the core bet, but darts offers far more: correct score in sets or legs, handicap betting to level a mismatch, and props like most 180s and highest checkout. The full rundown — including in-play, where the quick pace of darts comes into its own — is in the how to bet on darts guide.

One thing trips up new darts bettors: some events are played in sets, others in legs, and the correct-score and totals markets differ accordingly. Getting this right is the difference between a confident bet and a confused one. The set and leg betting page breaks down correct score and over/under total legs, with worked examples.

Darts is rich in props that settle independently of who wins. Most 180s backs the player who hits the most maximums, or an over/under line on the match total; highest checkout rewards the biggest finish. These markets reward knowing a player's scoring power and finishing, and the Darts betting guide covers how each one settles.

Everyone wants a darts tip, but the honest version — reading three-dart averages, doubles percentages and head-to-head records — is more useful than a confident scoreline. No result is a sure thing in a sport this fine-margined. Our straight take on how to weigh a match is on the darts predictions page.

Few sports pack as much betting into a session: a market on every leg, props on every visit and a major running somewhere most months of the year, all in SAST-friendly evening slots. From the Worlds at Ally Pally to the Premier League's weekly nights, there is always something to play. You bet it all at fixed odds, in rand, and a winning bet settles to your balance the moment the result is official. Bet on the darts at CasinOnline.
