Betting on the Winmau World Masters


The main betting market in darts is the win market. Other popular darts markets include most 180’s, set handicap and whether there will be a nine-dart finish. Opposing favourites in darts can be profitable with many outsiders having a good chance to win.

Study the competition draw to make money in the outright betting markets including to win the quarter of a draw for a darts tournament or the half of a draw for a tournament. 

There could be a bunch of top players in one half of the draw which will open the door for a big price player to come through the other half of the tournament.
