Darts live betting.

Here's a situation you can cash in on.

I have done it a lot of times now and gradually raised my stakes.


Last night was a typical example.


MVG versus P Taylor in the final of the UK open Darts

The starting odds were something like  1/2 MVG and 2/1 taylor (not quite those odds but near enough for simplicity)

On Sky live betting - the odds change dramatically during the match depending on who is winning.

I placed £20 on Taylor to win.

And he raced away to a 4 -1 lead

At this point MVG's odds came out to 13/8 - so I banged £20 on him to win.

Now, I can't lose whoever wins.


It happens all the time in live darts betting where both players at some point in the match will have odds of better than evens, ensuring no matter the result - you will collect morew than you bet.

    That's right chilling. As long as there is only one winner and a draw is not allowed.

    Yeah this is completly right.
    OP, it sounds like maybe youve been lucky the first times youve done it. This betting strategy will DEFINITELY lose you dollar long term

    As with all betting - you have to stake what you can afford to lose.

    I can only speak for darts in this case but you would be amazed how many matches to and fro during the game.

    The odds to and fro with them

    Once you have placed your first bet (that you are prepared to lose) you watch the match on TV and keep your eyes pinned on 'live beting'
    If the match swings, don't waste a second beting on the other player once he is above evens. (it happens in most matches where the players are around the same calibre)
    Now you can work out how much you have to come no mater who wins and this is spare money if you like.

    You can use this to bet on further swings in the game

    I have done it a lot and the match has sometimes swung 3 or 4 times. Each time I get more cash on.

    NB: in the MVG - TAYLOR match it only swung once but £20 on each at the right time paid £50 for a £40 stake
    £10 for a £40 stake  I hear you say.............. £10 profit no matter who though

    Tennis works best for this theory.

    First, you have to pick a match that you believe will be close. In play, markets over react to each point, particularly ones against the serve. Take a match where both players are 1.99 to win pre match. After one point, invariably the winner goes to 1.95 & the loser to 2.05. If you back the loser of each point then you are constantly backing a player at odds against.

    If the match goes to a deciding set then you end up making a profit no matter who wins.

    As posted earlier, you need to pick your match carefully because if it goes all one way then you can lose but select your matches carefully & it is profitable.

    Never tried it on darts so can't really comment but I guess tennis is better for this method.

    Ah well, here's a funny tale of last weeks premier league darts. I looked at the matches and decided the Raymond van Barneveld V James Wade was going to be the closest.

    Raymond was 2/1 so I bunged me £20 on him to win. (with my theory that during the match - the odds will fluctuate)
    Well James Wade flew out of the traps and RVB wasn't getting a look in. The odds never came close to evens for Wade. I though 'I've done my money'

    I think the score got to 5-1 to Wade and at this time RVB was 66/1 (yes 66/1 in a two man game) but the odds for a draw were now 10/1. I put £5 on the draw (it could happen ??? ) and then RVB came with a wet sail and it got to 6-5 and RVB had a few darts for the draw. Wade's odds went to 3/1 to win. Bang, £20 on him to win.
    Wade won.

    Finally in a no lose situation. Outlay £45. Return = £80 Less than evens but a no lose.....  It was close though lol
