This added challenge makes for unpredictable and thrilling matches. You’ll find a wide range of betting markets, from outright winners to in-match specials, giving you plenty of ways to get involved in this exciting tournament.

Common Bet Types in Darts Betting

Betting on darts offers a variety of exciting markets, giving fans plenty of ways to get involved with every match. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular darts betting options available:

Match Winner
The most straightforward option—bet on which player will win the match.
Example: Back Michael van Gerwen or Peter Wright to win their head-to-head clash.

Correct Score
Predict the exact score in legs or sets. This market is tougher to call but usually offers better odds.
Example: Wager on Michael Smith to win 4-2.

Total 180s (Over/Under)
Bet on how many 180s are scored in a match, either by one player or combined.
Example: If the line is 8.5, bet on whether there will be 9 or more (over) or 8 or fewer (under) 180s.

Most 180s
Pick which player will score the most 180s in a match.
Example: Bet on Gerwyn Price to outscore Rob Cross in 180s.

Checkout Betting
Bet on how a player finishes a leg or the score of a specific checkout.
Example: Back a player to hit a 100+ checkout or to finish with double 20.

Highest Checkout
Predict which player will produce the highest checkout or bet on whether the top checkout of the match will fall within a certain range.
Example: Bet on a player to record the highest checkout or on the highest checkout being over/under a set value.

Leg/Set Betting
Wager on how many legs or sets a player will win, or on the total played in the match.
Example: Bet on van Gerwen to win in straight sets or for the match to go the distance.

In-Play Betting
With live darts betting, you can place bets during the match—like who wins the next leg, who will throw the next 180, or how a leg will finish.
Example: During a tight contest, bet on who takes the current leg or whether the next leg ends on a double 16.

Key Tips for Darts Betting

When it comes to darts betting, understanding the different markets is just the beginning—having a solid strategy can make all the difference. Here are some useful tips to help you make smarter, more informed bets:

Study Player Form and Stats
A player’s recent form is one of the most important factors in predicting performance. Some players are in peak condition, while others may be off their game. Take time to review recent results, head-to-head records, and how they’ve performed in high-stakes matches.

Factor in Pressure and Stage Presence
Not every player thrives under the spotlight. Some rise to the occasion on big stages like the World Championship, while others struggle in front of a packed crowd. Knowing who performs well under pressure can help you make better calls, especially in major events.

Understand the Tournament Format
Formats vary from one tournament to another—some use best-of-five sets, others go much longer. These formats can influence the outcome significantly, favouring either short-game specialists or players known for stamina and consistency over longer matches.

Spot Value in Underdogs
While favourites are often the safer choice, there’s real value to be found in underdogs—especially when matchups favour their style. Analysing how two players’ games stack up against each other can uncover opportunities to back a less-favoured name at better odds.

Stay Updated on Player Health
Even in darts, physical condition matters. Fatigue, illness, or minor injuries can all affect a player's focus and form. Keep an eye on the latest updates and news to avoid betting on someone who’s not at full strength.

Whether you're following the drama of the World Darts Championship or keeping up with the action across the Premier League Darts circuit, London Bet has you covered. With a wide range of darts betting markets, sharp odds, and tools to support safer play, we’re here to help you enjoy the game with confidence.
