Darts is an immersive and tremendously fun sport to watch, however, it isn’t always the easiest to make money on. Plenty of favourites do tend to prevail, particularly at major tournaments, however, the bookmakers have often priced them up prohibitively as a result.
In order to improve your darts betting returns, there are a number of tips and strategies that can be followed:
Remember that Darts Players are Human
This may sound a little daft in isolation, however, it’s important to remember that their performances can be affected by a number of aspects. If the player is competing in their home town or city, this will naturally give them a lift. A partisan crowd cheering their every throw will surely increase confidence whereas the chance to stay in the comfortable surroundings of their own home may also spark an improvement in performance.
Furthermore, it’s important to remember that players may be heavily affected by a tiring tour itinerary, and it’s important to note any player who recently become a parent. These little bundles of joy can affect performances whether it be caused by a lack of sleep or the stress of having an extra mouth to feed.
Use Performance Data
Punters have access to more data and statistics than ever before these days and this can be used to your advantage. You can use this to either assess performances and work out whether a player is at the top of their game or whether they were a little fortunate. You can also use this information if you’re betting darts in order to assess head-to-head records and other quirks such as how each player performs at a particular venue/in a particular country.
Consider as many Different Betting Markets as Possible
Some bettors simply stick to outright betting or perhaps they tend to create an accumulator consisting solely of match winners. This is absolutely fine. However, with many darts betting sites offering a wide range of markets, it seems a shame to not even consider them. If you are seeking value or you foresee a tight and tense match-up, these tend to provide a terrific alternative and may enable you to turn a small profit.
