Q: How does darts work?
A: Each player throws three darts per turn, and the score they achieve is subtracted from their current total. The initial score of 501 is reduced by the points scored with each throw until a player reaches zero.
Here are the key rules and scoring principles:
Q: What is a unit?
A: A "unit" refers to a standardized amount of money that a bettor uses to measure their wagering and track their results. The specific value of a unit is subjective and can vary depending on the individual's bankroll and betting strategy. The purpose of using units is to establish a consistent and manageable betting system. Using units helps bettors maintain a consistent betting strategy and prevents them from getting carried away by increasing or decreasing bet sizes impulsively. Units provide a standardized approach to bankroll management and allows for easier evaluation of long-term profitability.
Q: What size unit should I use?
A; The only person that can truly answer that question is yourself. Unit size should be based off your total bankroll along with your own personal risk tolerance. Standard unit sizes are typically 1-5% of your total bankroll.
Q: When do predictions get released?
A: Predictions for tournaments are updated at least 24 hours before they start. When tournaments are in progress, predictions are updated the night prior to the next round at 11PM Eastern Standard Time. In the event that books do not have lines available by that time, predictions will be updated the following morning at least 2 hours prior to matches starting. Live bets are announced in Discord. For tournaments that have multiple rounds in one day, predictions will be made available as lines get posted. If lines are not posted at least an hour prior to the match, no prematch predictions will be released.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: You can purchase a subscription for any tournaments that 180odds provide predictions for. Tournament prices vary on the number of matches that will be played and the amount of units that will be staked. Smaller tournaments will be offered at lower prices. Predictions can not be seen without signing up for the tournament. As soon as tournaments finish, predictions can be viewed by anyone and tournament stats will be updated.

Here are the key rules and scoring principles:
- Dartboard: A standard dartboard is divided into 20 numbered sections, each representing a score from 1 to 20. These sections are further divided into smaller segments, with different point values.
- Scoring Zones: The dartboard has several scoring zones:
- Single Zone: Hitting any numbered section on the dartboard scores the corresponding value (e.g., hitting the 20 segment scores 20 points).
- Double Zone: The narrow outer ring of each numbered section is the double zone. Hitting this area doubles the score of that section (e.g., hitting the double 20 scores 40 points).
- Triple Zone: The narrow inner ring of each numbered section is the triple zone. Hitting this area triples the score of that section (e.g., hitting the triple 20 scores 60 points).
- Bullseye: The center of the dartboard has two areas—the inner bullseye and the outer bullseye. The inner bullseye (red or green) scores 50 points, while the outer bullseye scores 25 points.
- Scoring Calculations: After each throw, the score is calculated by subtracting the total achieved from the starting score of 501. For example, if a player scores 60 points in a turn, their total is reduced from 501 to 441. The highest possible score in a player's throw is 180 points, three triple 20s.
- Bust Rule: To win, a player must reach exactly zero points. If a player's score goes below zero, their turn is considered a "bust," and their score reverts to what it was at the start of that turn.
- Finishing: As the player's score approaches zero, they must finish by hitting a double segment to win the game. For example, if a player has a score of 32 remaining, they must hit a double 16 to win. If they fail to hit a double and their score goes below zero, it is considered a bust.
- Winning: The player or team that reaches exactly zero points with a double segment wins the game. In some variations, the winning player or team must also win by two clear legs or sets.
