Not only did former Canadian darts player John Part win two PDC World Championships in 2003 and 2008 (and the BDO iteration in 1994), but he also helped to popularize the sport in his home nation. His efforts certainly inspired current Canadian players like Nick Smith and Matt Campbell, with the latter currently ranked 51st in the world.
Due to this and the proliferation of online sports betting in Canada, darts betting has also emerged as a popular pastime in the Great White North. We offer a particularly diverse range of darts betting markets here at Betiton CA, while covering a host of international tournaments from across the globe!
How Does Darts Betting Online Work?
As the best online darts betting site in Canada, Betiton offers a simplified and streamlined wagering experience. This makes it easy to read odds and identify the best value betting lines, across a wide selection of pre-tournament and in-play markets.
Whether you want to access competitive PDC World Darts betting odds or wager on less revered tournaments such as the Darts World Matchplay, we have you covered at Betiton CA. You’ll find a particularly large range of prop markets here too, which can prove especially rewarding when you engage in live darts betting.
Darts Betting Odds
Here at Betiton CA, we price all outcomes using decimal odds. This format reads as a single number set to two decimal places, which subsequently tells you how much you stand to win for every $1 that you wager (inclusive of your original stake).
However, you’ll also find an odds widget in the top right-hand corner of the sportsbook. This also enables you to toggle between American and fractional odds, but how do you read these alternative formats?
- American Odds: American odds feature three-digit numbers with either a ‘plus’ or a ‘minus’ sign. The former indicates a betting underdog, while the accompanying number relays how much you’ll win when you stake $100. A minus sign reveals a betting favourite, with the corresponding number indicating how much you must stake to win $100.
- Fractional Odds: Fractional odds read as two numbers that are separated by a single slash. The first number tells you how much you can win in relation to the second, which represents your stake. The amount won is calculated exclusive of your initial bet.
Darts Betting Markets
When you get started with darts betting online, you’ll find a diverse selection of markets here at Betiton Canada. Some of these are more popular than others, of course, so here’s our pick of the most appealing darts betting lines.
- Match Betting: Match betting on darts works in a similar way to alternative sports. In this market, you’ll pick one of two competing players to prevail in a single match, with the draw virtually eliminated as an option in most tournaments.
- Handicap Betting: Handicap betting requires you to give one player or selection (usually a heavy betting favorite) a virtual deficit against their opponent. Your pick must then overcome this deficit and win by the requisite margin, while this market enables you to wager at enhanced odds. This wager type is a staple of Darts World Championship betting during the early rounds.
- Most 180s: Online darts betting also unlocks numerous props, including which player will record the most 180s during a match. This type of even money wager favors prolific scorers like Michael Van Gerwen and Luke Humphries, while you can also bet on who will register the most 180s over the course of a tournament.
- Highest Checkout: This is another even money prop bet, and one that lets you pick the player who you think will record the highest checkout during a match. The highest possible checkout in darts is 170. This market favors players who hit the most doubles, like Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith.
- Outright Tournament Winners: Similar to match wagering, you can also bet on the outright winner of a particular tournament. This can unlock highly competitive darts betting odds, depending on the number of participating players and how early you wager.

The most recent iteration of the tournament featured a record 40 countries and a group stage, with Wales (led by Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton) defeating Scotland in the final. England and the Netherlands are the two most successful nations with four wins apiece.
Darts Premier League Betting
The Premier League is perhaps the most popular tournament from a darts betting perspective. It incorporates a league phase comprising 16 matchdays, each of which sees the eight competing players engage in knockout competition in a bid to accumulate points. The top four players subsequently qualify for the playoffs, which feature two semi-finals and a showpiece final. Teenager Luke Littler won the Premier League at the first attempt in 2024.
World Darts Championship Betting
The World Darts Championship is an annual event and the centrepiece of the PDC Tour. This tournament has a cumulative prize fund of £2.5 million, with the winner banking £500,000 in 2023/24. The competition features a straight knockout format, with the legendary Phil Taylor winning an incredible 14 world titles during his career. Handicapping is particularly popular during the early stages of World Championship darts betting.
World Grand Prix Darts Betting
This tournament was inaugurated in 1998 and is held annually at the Morningside Arena in Leicester. It currently boasts a straight knockout format, while it’s the only televised event in which competing players must start each leg with a double. Phil Taylor also dominated here historically with 11 Grand Prix titles, although current world number one Luke Humphries triumphed in 2023.
Darts European Championship Betting
There have been sixteen iterations of the European Darts Championship since its inception in 2008, with 12 taking place in Germany (the 2023 tournament was held at the Westfalenhallen in Dortmund). Rob Cross and Peter Wright have won four of the previous five iterations between them, during which time players have competed for a first prize of £500,000.
Grand Slam of Darts Betting Odds
This tournament used to pit the best performing PDC players against their British Darts Organisation (BDO) rivals, but the latter organisation was liquidated in 2020. Since then, it has featured PDC players only, who initially compete in a round-robin group stage and aim to qualify for the knockout stages. The aforementioned Luke Humphries won his maiden Grand Slam of Darts in 2023.
Betting on World Darts Series
The World Series of Darts comprises seven international events and a series finale, with the 2024 iteration having commenced with the Bahrain Masters on January 18th.

The World Series of Darts finals will take place between September 13th and 15th, 2024.
Darts World Matchplay Betting
One of the oldest darts competitions, the World Matchplay has been contested annually at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool since 1994. It’s highly coveted and one of three legs of the sport’s Triple Crown, along with the World Championship and Premier League Darts. The prize fund here is £800,000, while popular World Matchplay darts betting markets include the outright winner and handicapping during the early rounds.

Betiton Canada Darts Betting Tips
Whether you want to act on live darts betting odds or wager on the winner of an upcoming tournament, successfully navigating your chosen markets can prove challenging. So, we’ve prepared some expert darts betting tips and insights to help you make the most of your bankroll!
- Use Handicap Betting (But Strategically): We’ve already touched on how handicapping can help you to wager at enhanced odds, especially when betting on the Darts World Championship or similar tournaments. Just be sure to leverage this market strategically, as you focus on heavy betting favorites and target mismatches during the formative rounds. Also, use form and performance metrics to set the optimal handicap in a particular match.
- Consider a Tournament’s Format: Formats can vary from one darts tournament to another, and shorter competitions (such as the World Grand Prix) create a more even playing field for betting underdogs. Certainly, qualifiers or low-ranked players are more likely to prevail in best-of-three or five leg matches, whereas longer formats tend to suit skilled and more experienced performers.
- Use Performance Stats in Context: Analysing a player’s cumulative three-dart average and checkout percentage can be hugely insightful, but this information needs to be put into context. For example, you’ll need to contrast recent data with career performances, while factoring in relevant head-to-head records and a player’s history in specific tournaments or formats.

Darts Betting Rules Explained by Betiton Canada
Although darts tournament formats and structures can vary, most PDC Tour events employ a similar set of rules. We’ll take a closer look at these below while asking how they’re likely to impact your betting darts strategies.
- Most professional and PDC darts matches see players compete to win legs and sets. They start each leg with a score of 501, and the player who reaches zero first will win.
- Players must finish on a double. In the World Grand Prix, they’ll also have to start on the double, creating a competitive advantage for players who are particularly adept at hitting these sections of the board.
- The dartboard used at PDC events is divided into 20 sections (numbered one to 20). There’s a bullseye in the middle, and hitting the ‘inner bull’ can score 50. Landing a dart in the outer bull scores 25.
- The top three-dart score is 180, which can be achieved by hitting three treble 20s. The highest checkout is 170, which requires you to land two treble 20s and then the bullseye.

Frequently Asked Questions about Darts Betting
What does each-way mean in darts betting?
An each-way darts wager features two components: namely a ‘win’ and a ‘place’ bet. It enables you to cover multiple outcomes when backing a player in a particular tournament, as it will payout whether your pick wins the competition or places in one of the top positions (as determined by us).
What are the most popular darts bets?
Betting on the winner of an individual match is the most popular type of darts wager. Selecting the outright winner of a tournament can also unlock highly competitive odds depending on the size of the field. Certain prop bets are incredibly popular too, such as picking the player who will record the most 180s or highest checkout in a particular game.
What is the biggest darts competition in the world?
The PDC World Darts Championship is the biggest and most coveted competition in the sport. The 2024 tournament final was watched by a peak audience of 3.71 million, which was a record for a non-soccer event on major broadcaster Sky Sports. This competition is also the most valuable and widely bet on, while we offer some of the most competitive Darts World Championship betting odds around!
Which country is the best in darts?
Of the 31 PDC World Darts Championships contested, 20 have been won by English players (Phil Taylor has 14 titles alone). Fans of World Cup darts betting will know that England have also won four of the 13 PDC World Cup of Darts iterations, with this feat having been matched by the Netherlands in 2018.
How do you calculate darts score?
The standard PDC tournament format sees players start each leg with a score of 501. They’ll then strive to reach zero in the fewest number of darts. The highest three-dart score is 180, while players will have to finish on a double. A nine-dart finish is considered to be one of the greatest achievements in the sport, as this is the fewest number of throws in which a player can win a particular leg.
