Darts Trivia

Did You Know?
Online darts is growing in popularity and joining pool, online poker and casino fun games in the online gaming community where real money can be won. Though not yet as popular as online poker, online darts is played by both dart players and regular online gamers, sometimes with betting. However, even though you can have fun online with free sports bets, playing darts with your friends at the pub, will continue to be the favourite way to enjoy the game for most people.

Winning At Pub Darts
Science even exists in the pub. Most pub players try to emulate the pros by aiming for treble 20, going for the promised land of a maximum 180. But it's not the way to go if you're not very good. A miss lands you in 1 or 5. Mathematicians have proved that the best place to aim is the bullseye! You will miss it more often than not but you will hit higher scores on average than if you miss when aiming for the 20! Fact.

Darts Exhibitions
