Darts is a sport that has thrived since the birth of the internet and the rise of satellite television. No longer is it exclusively a pastime for the clubs of Great Britain, this is now a global activity worth millions and it comes with an audience that hangs on every throw.

As the sport continues to grow, so does the interest in darts betting with active markets for every professional tournament.
Â
The World Championships for both the PDC and BDO versions of the game are concluded in January each year and these attract most interest from a betting point of view. However, there are lots of events taking place all year round including huge attractions such as the Premier League.
Result betting is available and you can also bet on the winner of the tournament itself. Other long term bets in the darts betting markets include the 9 darter, where you speculate on whether there will be at least one nine-dart finish in the event itself.
Once that tournament gets underway there are active match markets where you can stake on the winning margin, correct score and many more. It’s an exciting sport these days and high scoring and high averages can lead to some interesting betting online options across the sites.

Compared to other sports, darts is relatively open and while some players such as Michael Van Gerwen and Phil Taylor have been dominant in recent years, tournament wins can be spread more evenly across a wider set of players.
In fact, although Van Gerwen started as favourite in the World Championship in 2015 and 2016, he lost out both times to Gary Anderson. That unpredictability gives more players a chance and that can lead to more interest in the tournament and match markets.
Televised matches are now beamed into homes around the world while there is a unique atmosphere among the crowds, so this may be the optimum time to look up the darts betting options at Unibet.
