Darts betting with Ladbrokes
Darts betting covers a packed calendar of tournaments featuring some of the world's biggest names. Back-to-back world champion Luke Littler leads the current generation after establishing himself at the top of the game, while former world champion Luke Humphries remains one of his closest rivals. Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Gian van Veen are among the other leading players always in the conversation for silverware.
Whether you are placing your first darts bet or already follow the PDC tour closely, Ladbrokes offer darts odds before and during selected matches. You can bet on individual contests, follow players across major competitions or take a longer-term view through our darts outright betting page.
Popular darts betting markets explained
Darts betting markets can cover the result of a match, the final score and individual parts of a player’s performance. Availability may vary between tournaments and rounds, but popular darts bets can include:
- Match Betting: Back either player to win the match.
- Correct Score: Predict the final score in legs or sets.
- Most 180s: Choose which player will throw the most maximums.
- Highest Checkout: Back a player to produce the biggest successful checkout.
- Match Handicap: Apply a virtual advantage or disadvantage to the leg or set score.
- Total Legs or Sets: Bet on whether the match will finish above or below a selected line.
- Tournament Winner: Pick the player you think will lift the trophy.
Player form can be particularly important when comparing darts betting odds. Littler and Humphries regularly compete at the latter stages of major events, but established champions such as Van Gerwen and Price remain capable of beating anyone when they find their best game.

How to bet on darts
To bet on darts, choose a tournament or match and select the odds for your preferred outcome. Your selection will be added to the bet slip, where you can enter your stake and review the potential return before placing your bet
Darts odds reflect how likely each outcome is considered to be and determine the potential return from a successful bet. Shorter odds will usually be attached to the favourite, while a player considered less likely to win will generally be available at a bigger price.
How does in-play darts betting work?
In-play darts betting allows you to follow the odds while a selected match is taking place. Prices can change quickly as players win legs, miss doubles or build momentum, giving you the opportunity to place a bet after the action has started. Visit our live darts betting page to see the matches and odds currently available.
How does outright darts betting work?
An outright darts bet is placed on the overall result of a tournament rather than an individual match. You can choose the player you think will lift the trophy, with the odds changing before and during the competition to reflect form, results and the draw.
Littler is likely to feature prominently in outright betting after winning consecutive world titles, while Humphries, Van Gerwen, Price and Van Veen are regularly among the leading contenders. Explore the latest darts outright odds across the biggest events.
