Betting on Darts with totesport
Darts and darts betting has undergone a massive renaissance in the past few years - gone are the days of the smoke filled stage and pint swilling stars in ill fitting shirts. TV coverage has come to the rescue, repackaging and remodelling the game and making darts more popular and more brash than ever.
Darts is quite special as the action comes thick and fast with vocal commentators building the excitement in a vociferous crowd.
The two main events in the year are the two World Championships – darts is heading down the boxing route in that it has two governing bodies, the PDC and BDO – this makes for more events and competition between the two bodies is fierce. totesport are already offering odds on the PDC World Championship.
SKY is now the home of Premier League darts where 8 of the top players contest a league format, the top four play-off in semi finals and it culminates in a grand final. This top quality action produces some close and exciting games with numerous betting angles, played out before packed audiences. There are also plenty of other tournaments throughout the year, some in exotic locations like Las Vegas.
Singles betting on match odds is the mainstay of the darts betting market, but few fans can resist stringing together their favourites in doubles, trebles and accumulators as the games come thick and fast – with anything from three to eight matches billed in a session – numbers that lend themselves to a multiple bet.
There are plenty of other opportunities available via handicap and leg or set betting for individual matches. In the major tournaments there will also be prices for eventualities such as a player having the magical nine dart finish, a bet which gives you an interest for the whole tournament.
Although conditions are likely to have less impact than in other sports, there are still several things to consider when having a bet of the tungsten throwers.
The venue can make a difference, with some players better suited to different environments. Structure and length of the match is another consideration, as some players prefer a shorter game over a few legs or sets – there is much more chance for an upset in the shorted version of the game.
Whatever your strategy, have fun with your darts betting and don’t forget to check out all our latest odds at totesport.com.
