Step 1: Select Your Tournament

Head to the darts betting section and choose the tournament or match you'd like to bet on.

Step 2: Choose Your Darts Betting Markets

Popular Darts Betting Markets

Virgin Bet offers dozens of pre-match and live darts betting markets, but most of our players usually flock to these:

Match Odds

Match darts betting odds are the easiest place to start. Pick the player you think will win, and you're good to go.

Leg Handicap

Not every match is expected to be close. Handicap darts betting gives one player a virtual advantage or disadvantage, making one-sided contests more interesting to bet on. It usually offers better darts odds for the favourite than the match winner market.

King of the Oche

Looking beyond the match winner? King of the Oche lets you back the player you think will put on the standout performance.

Understanding Darts Rules and Formats

If you've never watched a game before, don't worry: betting on darts is easier than it looks. Two players take turns throwing three darts, trying to reduce their score before the other player does.

Both players start on 501, each dart reduces their score based on where it lands. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, here's the catch: you can't win unless your final dart lands on a double, which is why even the pros sometimes crumble under pressure.

Most matches are played over legs, while bigger tournaments also use sets to decide the winner. The first player to win the required number of legs or sets takes the match.
