Darts Odds

Paddy Power sets pre-match and in-play darts betting odds for hundreds of markets, from outrights to specials to most 180s. Darts odds reveal your potential payout and implied probability (suggested likelihood of an event occurring).

To set the prices, we use a statistical model which takes into account past performances. Once today’s Darts odds are set, they can go up and down as punters back certain players.

Also, if you are betting in-play, you’ll notice markets move back and forth based on the players’ performance. For example, an underdog can suddenly become a favourite if he wins the opening set. Keep an eye on the latest Darts odds to secure the best price possible!

How Do Darts Odds Work?

To use darts odds to determine your potential payout, convert the fractional odds into decimal odds, add 1 and then multiply the result by your stake.

For example, if you bet £100 on Luke Littler to win the World Championship at 2/1, your potential payout is £300 ((2/1 + 1) x 100).

To calculate implied probability, you again convert the fractional odds to decimal odds, add 1, and divide the result by 1.

What Is the Best Bet on Darts?

Darts betting is part art, part science. Here are a few strategies that you can try out today:

· Back seeded players — Pull up the PDC rankings and familiarise yourself with the top 30 players in the world. While upsets may occur, betting on the higher-ranked player often proves to be a smart choice.

· Look for players with a high 3-dart average — This statistic tells you how much a player scores on average for every three darts they throw. It’s a great way to see who is in form.

· Bet on players with a high checkout percentage — Checkout percentage reveals how often a player wins a leg when they have a chance to do so. Players with a high checkout don’t squander opportunities; they tend to rise to the occasion during big tournaments.

· Back underdogs in short matches — Upsets tend to occur more frequently in the earlier stages of tournaments when games are played over fewer sets. For example, matches in the first round of the PDC World Championship are best of 5 sets, while the final is a best of 13 sets marathon.
