How to Make Money on Darts Betting

We recommend you look at previous tournaments and their outcomes to help inform future bets. It’s good to know the players in form and it actually pays to watch the darts matches and understand the different strengths and weaknesses of the players.

You can often place darts bets and make money without waiting for the outcome. Many bookmakers offer Cash Out on darts betting which means you can place a bet on a darts market and take a profit before the match finishes.

Say you back Player 1 to win a best of seven sets match against Player 2 for £50 at odds of 2.00. You would stand to get a return of £100 should Player 1 win his match and he might be leading 3-2 in the match. You might then get the chance to land a return of £75 irrespective of what went on to happen.
