Darts Jargon you should know

Not just to better understand the commentator on TV, but also to have an easier time chatting with others about your favourite sport, here's some Jargon for you to study. You know, before you sit down to watch at the pub. In the end, perhaps knowledge about these things will also help you while reading up before a competition and doing your research before betting.

Busted: Exceeding the number of points required to go out. Happens all the time.
Cork: Term for the bull's eye, can also be used as a verb of course.
Double: Landing a dart in the outer ring, thus doubling your points.

Double In / Double Out: Hitting the double area is required when beginning a game or when ending a game outright.
Eights: Different way of saying "18".
Fat: Another term for the bigger parts of each segment on the board. A single hit instead of a double or triple score.
Feathers: "33".
Fives: Different way of saying "15".
Flight: The fletching of the dart, nowadays made of plastic.
"He doesn't want it!": A playful, certainly taunting exclamation of the crowd whenever a player is struggling to complete a leg.
Oche: The line athletes must not step over when throwing (pronounced "ockey"). Can also be raised in some tournament rulesets.

Ton: Score of 100.
Ton-Eighty: Score of 180, the highest possible score in a single turn, or round.
Tops: Quick way of saying Double 20.
Triple In / Triple Out: A triple throw is required to begin the game and to end it.

Betting on PDC matches

The PDC calendar packs a serious punch every year. It kicks off at the Ally Pally in December-January with the World Darts Championship — the biggest prize in darts and now a £1 million payday for the winner. From there, the year rolls through the Premier League (a 16-week roadshow across UK and European arenas), the UK Open, the World Matchplay in Blackpool, the World Grand Prix in Leicester, the Grand Slam in Wolverhampton, the European Championship, and finishes with the Players Championship Finals in November. Every one of them attracts serious betting attention, and we cover them all.

One of our most contested markets is match winner, followed closely by outright tournament winner — you can follow your favourite player through the entire draw and hedge with handicap markets as the ties unfold. Right now the sport is defined by Luke Littler, the Warrington teenager who's redrawn the record books and sits atop the PDC world rankings after back-to-back World Championship wins in 2025 and 2026. His rival at the top is Luke Humphries, the previous world number one and the 2024 World Champion. Below them, the depth is as good as it's ever been — Michael van Gerwen is still winning majors, Gian van Veen made the 2026 world final, and Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, Jonny Clayton, James Wade and Michael Smith all have serious major-winning form on their CVs. Whichever way you fancy backing the field, our markets will be at the ready!

The all-time greats

Phil Taylor has won 16 World Championship titles and 11 World Grand Prix titles. Grand Slams, Premier League titles, you name it. Ask anyone about darts and his name will be what they will answer first. A living legend of the sport.
Luke Littler rewrote the rulebook the moment he arrived. World Champion in 2025 (aged 17 — the youngest ever) and again in 2026, world number one, MBE in the King's Birthday Honours, and holder of the career triple crown (World Championship, Matchplay, Premier League) before his 19th birthday. His hometown rugby league club renamed their stadium after him. Warrington's finest, and already one of the greats.
Michael van Gerwen has won three World Championships, seven World Grand Prix titles and countless other prizes. Oh, and he threw a casual nine-dart finish on live TV back in 2012, when he was basically still a baby. Still winning majors well into his thirties.
Luke Humphries completed the career triple crown before Littler did and spent much of 2024–25 as world number one after taking the 2024 World Championship. The nearest permanent challenger to Littler at the top of the sport.
Gary Anderson — "The Flying Scotsman" — won the World Championship back-to-back in 2015 and 2016, the last player to do so before Littler matched the feat a decade later.
Eric Bristow was one of the strongest players of the late 1970s and early 1980s and won five World Masters in seven years. He was awarded an MBE for his efforts, but sadly died in 2018.
John Lowe won the World Championship in three different decades. Let that sink in for a moment. He's also credited with throwing the first-ever televised nine-darter.
Dennis Priestley was Phil Taylor's biggest rival. Sadly, he never really managed to fight his way out of the former's shadow, not even when playing averages over 100 consistently.
John Part was another strong rival to Phil Taylor, but saw fewer direct clashes with him. While he defeated him only once, in 2003, he was perhaps the strongest player statistically in North America for years.
Adrian Lewis is a two-time PDC World Champion (2011 and 2012) and the man who threw the first World Championship-final nine-darter. You can't help feeling he should have added a third somewhere along the way.

Take aim

Whether it's the roar of the Ally Pally crowd during the World Championship, the drama of a Premier League Thursday night, or a quiet Sunday afternoon on the ProTour, our darts markets are open across the full PDC calendar. And if the pinpoint aim and split-second nerve of the oche has you hooked, the same steady hand pays off on our snooker markets — different game, same UK pub-sport heritage. When the board comes down for the night, our full online casino is a click away.
