Darts Betting Online | Gambling Tips.

Some of the main broadcasters now cover darts tournaments regularly with both the PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) and BDO (British Darts Organisation) World Championship attracting large TV audiences. The UK Open is a hugely popular straight knockout tournament staged in June followed by the World Matchplay in Blackpool. The Premier League runs from February to May and the World Grand Prix takes place in Dublin in October. The Grand Slam of Darts brings together players from both the PDC and BDO in November and the new World Cup of darts is testimony to the growing popularity of the game.

These events attract a large number of outright tournament winner bets as punters take the best prices on their particular favourite. Punters who take their darts betting seriously will keep right up-to-date with recent results and can be quite adept at predicting an upset. There are each-way options for a player to reach the final or semi-final.

Match betting is equally popular and there will be a variety of markets on offer with most sportsbooks throughout the top events. Where the odds are quite short, punters can combine several of the leading players in multiple bets during the early rounds of competition. This can prove surprisingly profitable, rather like accumulative wagers struck on the leading Premiership sides all winning over a weekend.

If accumulator bets are deemed too risky, you can always look at the handicap betting. If one of the leading players is long odds-on to win against a lesser known opponent, the bookmaker will chalk up prices giving that player a lead in terms of games and sets. If you think that the favourite is so superior that he can overcome such a handicap, then you will be able to get better odds for your investment. Likewise, perhaps you think the bookmakers have under-estimated their opponent and that they now represent the value bet.

The live betting markets now give the punter the chance to bet while they watch. Darts betting markets can fluctuate quite dramatically and many professional punters try to gain an edge by working the percentages. In a match that swings first one way and then the other, it is sometimes possible to cover both eventualities and guarantee a profit. There are also special bets on nine-dart finishes and total tournament 180’s or the player to score most 180’s during the event.
