Darts Betting

Darts is anything but a simple game. Actually, professional darts players differ from recreational ones in possessing the right amount of stamina, precision, and concentration to achieve high-scoring results. Darts play is centered around throwing an 18-26g dart at a board (up to a maximum of 180).

If you like the thrill and unpredictability of this sport, our darts betting markets covers professional dart tournaments throughout the year, both in the UK and overseas. Place wagers on the World Darts Championship, World Matchplay, and many other tournaments.

Our odds and promotions are just some of the reasons why Virgin Bet is a hit among darts fans. Join our community and step up to the oche by placing bets on world-class darts.

PDC World Darts Championship

This annual competition is the highlight of darts and the event that many professional darts players dream of winning. Founded in 1994, the World Darts Championship takes place at the famous Alexandra Palace in London. Over 5,000 fans per session watch as the best players on the planet work their way from 501 to 0 points.

The format has changed over the years, with extra rounds to accommodate more players. Each set is the best of five legs. First- and second-round matches are played over 5 sets. However, the further a player advances, the more sets they will have to win, culminating in a best-of-13-set final.

The PDC World Championship has been won by Phil “The Power” Taylor, Michael Van Gerwen, and Luke Littler over the years.

You’ll find markets on all 127 matches during the tournament. You can also place a darts betting outright winner bet on the player who you think will hold the Sid Waddell Trophy. Odds are updated after each result, missed double, and 9-dart finish.

World Matchplay

The World Matchplay is a high-profile PDC event that is part of the Triple Crown. Hosted at Winter Gardens in Blackpool, the event uses a legs format. This means that players must win a set number of legs to progress to the next round. The final is known for a longer format, with the player who reaches 18 legs first named the champion.

We cover the men’s and women’s tournaments, which offer over £1 million in prize money between them. Our betting markets cover all of the action in the North West of England, including darts betting outright winner, total 180s, most 180s, and other specials.

Popular Markets for Darts Online Betting

You’ll find a host of betting opportunities when you click the “Darts” button on our A-Z Sports. Go through our “Popular” and “Leagues & Competitions” markets for odds on weekly PDC tournaments. All darts online betting picks are added to your betslip faster than an arrow hitting the bullseye. These are some of our most popular markets:

Match Winner and Handicap Betting

The simplest market remains betting on the winner of a darts match. For example, Luke Littler to beat Gerwyn Price. The margin of victory isn’t important, just the result.

Darts sports betting at Virgin Bet also includes handicaps. We introduce handicaps to balance one-sided matchups. We’ll give the underdog a virtual set or leg head start, or a deficit for the favourite to overcome. For example, Luke Humphries to beat Michael Van Gerwen at -1.5 legs. This means Humphries must win by 2 clear legs for your bet to win.

Most 180s and Maximum Scoring

180 is the highest possible score from three darts. While common, it always gets the crowd going. You can bet on which player will record the most 180s in an upcoming or live match.

We also accept bets on the total 180s for each player, over 18.5, for example. That’s not all, as you can wager on which of the two players will hit the first maximum of the match.

Nine-Dart Finish and Checkout Markets

A nine-dart finish is no mean feat. It’s comparable with a 147 snooker break or a golf hole-in-one. It requires nine perfect darts, and you can bet on the possibility of a player achieving this skillful act with us. We also offer bets on a player reaching a specific stage of a potential nine-dart finish, whether it's 6, 7, or 8 perfect darts.

Here are some other darts online betting markets you’ll find at Virgin Bet:

• Player with the highest checkout: We offer odds on both players to record the highest checkout in the match. You can even bet on the two players sharing the highest checkout, which does happen now and then.
• Highest checkout in the match: Will Gian Van Veen have a highest checkout over 140.5? Will James Wade’s highest checkout be under 130.5? Odds are available on each potential outcome.
• Total 100+ checkouts: 100+ checkouts are often a piece of cake for top players. You can stake on the combined 100+ checkouts or individually from either player. For example, the No. 2 in the world rankings to achieve over 6.5.
• Most 100+ checkouts in the match: Will Player A or Player B record the most 100+ checkouts in the match? Or will it be a tie?

Get Paid Out Early with the Big Fish Payout

The “Big Fish Payout” promotion is a firm favourite among our members. It’s eligible for pre-match, bet builder, and multi cash match winner bets. You’ll see winnings in your account as soon as your pick hits a 170 checkout.

That’s regardless of whether the player wins or loses the match. A Treble 20, Treble 20, Bullseye is what you’re looking for. However, as the maximum checkout in darts, it doesn’t happen that often.

In-Play Darts Betting and Live Board Tracking

Darts is one of the 20+ sports you can bet on live at Virgin Bet. In-play darts betting odds are adjusted after every throw, whether it’s a treble 20 or it lands “off the island”. You can place live bets at the same time as players step up to the oche.

King of the Oche (match winner, highest checkout & most 180s), correct score, total legs, and leg handicap are popular in-play markets. There are no frustrating delays. Just add your selections to your betslip and lock in your bet.
