Darts competitions to bet on

Our clients are offered a wide selection of darts competitions, covering both the top championships, as well as local championships and mid-level tournaments. The most anticipated event is the World Championship, which takes place in London from mid-December to early January. We are always happy to offer the best betting odds for the World Darts Championship. Here you can bet on the performances of the top 32 PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) Order of Merit players and the top 32 ProTour Order of Merit players.

32 international qualifying competitions around the world are also added to them. Players will be interested to know that the duration of matches in this event increases throughout the tournament, from best of 5 in the first round to best of 13 in the final.

Fans, who bet on darts regularly, never miss the World Matchplay, where the top 16 players on the PDC Order of Merit list and the top 16 ranked players on the ProTour Order of Merit compete. Bettors should take into account that the result here is not determined by sets, but by the number of legs. Another popular PDC championship is called the World Grand Prix. Its feature is the dual input and dual output format. This means that participants must start and finish stages using a double.

Finally, you can test your luck by betting on the results of the games at the Grand Slam of Darts, which takes place in November in Dublin. Participants are divided into 4 groups of four players each, the 2 best from each group move forward. This leg-scoring competition starts with a best-of-9 format in the group stage and progresses to a best-of-31 format in the final stage.

Darts betting markets and odds

GGBet users can choose from several popular darts betting markets available. Treat the choice wisely, according to your skills in online betting, understanding of the results of the participants and the specifics of the particular event.

Who will win the match

This is the simplest bet type, popular among beginners. Here you need to make predictions about the participant who will win in a particular match.

Who will win the tournament

Unlike the previous version, here it is necessary to predict the winner of the entire tournament. Due to the large amount of input data and the unpredictable conditions of darts matches, this option is suitable for those who are well-versed in the intricacies of the game and have experience.

Bets on 180

This result is less popular than the bet on the winner, but is also very common, especially among the beginners. Here you need to correctly predict how many times the player will score the maximum number of points (180) in one try. In particular, this type allows you to bet on one or two opponents.

Odds in darts: why do they change and how the winnings are calculated

When making a bet, you can choose between different odds formats, the most popular of which are:

• Decimal. The initial bet is multiplied by a decimal factor to calculate the potential winnings.
• Fractional. Odds in this format are displayed as the potential winnings and your initial bet separated by a slash. For example, 5/2, 2/1, etc.
• American. In this case, you see the "+" and "-" signs, where the "+" represents the winnings you can potentially get.

Here is a small example of how dart odds work:

• Ryan Harrington to win: 1.50;
• Leighton Bennett to win: 2.00.

If you decide to bet 20 USD on Ryan Harrington and he wins, you will get 30 USD: 20 USD (starting bet) x 1.50 (odds) = 30 USD. If you bet 20 USD on Leighton Bennett and he wins, you will potentially get 40 USD using the same scheme.

As with other sports, the lower the betting odds on darts, the higher the probability of a particular player’s victory. In our case, Ryan Harrington is the favorite, and Leighton Bennett is the underdog. This example shows that betting on underdogs is always more profitable, but involves more risk.

How to make live bets on darts?

Live betting on darts always means more involvement in the game process, turbulent emotions, and potentially big wins. As the name suggests, in this case you are making a bet on a match that is already in progress, which involves the following features:

• Dynamic live odds that instantly reflect changes during the match.
• More markets are available compared to pre-match betting.
• The necessity to make instant decisions, reacting to the game flow.
• Ability to calculate the bet by the end of the event and to make a small profit or reduce losses to a minimum.

When it comes to betting on darts during a match, markets are often divided into different periods of the game (legs, specific shots, sets, etc.). Despite the rapid data updates, there are special pauses in bets. This is necessary to properly adjust the betting odds on darts.

Our users also have the ability to get all the data they need to make the most informed decision, including current accounts, completion percentages, three-dart averages, and more. Instantly updated odds allow you to quickly react to any changes, while convenient visualization of matches helps to get a complete picture of the match and its development perspectives.

What is necessary to know about professional darts matches?

Before making bets on darts online, it is important to find out the rules used in professional matches.

Features

Description

Goal

The main goal is to reduce your score (usually 501 or 301) to 0 before your opponent does. In this case, the last dart must fall into a double or hit the bullseye.

Target

The board or target is divided into 20 segments, hitting each of which brings from 1 to 20 points. Each segment has several additional rings: double (outside) and triple (inside). There is also an outer "bullseye" (the center of the target) worth 25 points and an inner "bullseye" worth 50 points.

Game start

Opponents throw 1 dart each to determine their positions. The one whose dart hits as close as possible to the "bullseye" starts. This is another feature to consider when betting on sports darts.

Course of the main game

Players throw 3 darts each. Earned points are subtracted from the initial amount (501 or 301). If a player reaches a score of 1 or below zero, their score is returned to what it was at the beginning of the turn.

End of the game

The player must finish by hitting the double ring of any number. Hitting the inner "bullseye" also counts.

Match structure

Professional matches are divided into separate sets, which, in turn, are divided into legs. Consider this when developing your own betting strategy on darts.

Rules of behavior

During throws, opponents should stay behind the line, touching it only with their toes. Players must follow the instructions of official people.

Disputes

Any disputed situations must be resolved before the start of the next turn.

Darts betting tips

Although betting on darts online may seem relatively simple and straightforward, here are some tips to follow to increase your winning chances. They are perfect for both beginners and experienced players.

1. Track the status of players and watch all the events

Today, a large number of darts competitions are held within the PDC tournaments in Europe. You should watch all the matches and note how the players are getting fit. Often they hold up well, and even small mistakes in one game do not mean further failures. When betting on darts, pay attention to less prestigious tournaments, as bookmakers do not always have a clear idea of how events will unfold in them.

2. Study the style of the

In addition to knowing the markets, it is important to know the athlete's style. For example, a player can steadily score points. In this case, he often scores 100 or 140 and not necessarily a maximum of 180. Such players often exhaust opponents and can be ideal betting options in longer formats.

3. The higher the prestige of the competition, the higher the motivation

The PDC Players Championship games now occupy a large part of the darts calendar, but its format does not always compare to the big tournaments. An example is Michael Smith, who won his 27th championship at Barnsley but did not win even close to how much he would have, taking into account his ability and potential. Often, when the cameras are off and the fans are plentiful, the same old faces win. This is one of those real darts betting tips that beginners often overlook.

4. Consideration of the home/away match factor

In addition to the player's strategy, the location of the game is also important. A vivid example of this was the final of the World Series of Darts in Amsterdam. Then, among the 6 Dutch players who participated, four guaranteed themselves a place in the second round thanks to the home atmosphere and the many fans who actively supported the players.

5. Try different markets

Focus not only on the main but also on the side markets. The popular market always supports a player who gets a maximum rating of 180. At the same time, heavyweight scorers are not always rated properly. For example, Michael van Gerwen is the best player, but often not the most accurate, as he prefers to knock out 19.

To win in darts, it is not necessary to score a maximum of 180 points. Therefore, when betting on darts, it is wise to choose the underdog who scores big points.
