Checkout is a term used in the scoring system for professional darts matches. At the start of an individual game of darts, the score will be 501, and the winner will be the first player to get this down to zero by subtracting the amount they score every time they throw three darts. The dartboard itself is divided into twenty different numbers, and each number has a double and treble section.
In order to checkout, a player has to score double points with their final dart, achieving the amount needed to get down to zero. The sections on a dartboard alternate between red and green, and the color of the checkout will be determined by whether the player has to score a red or a green double.
As well as the chance to bet on the outright winner of a match or tournament, darts offers numerous other markets, such as what the highest checkout will be, how many maximum scores of 180 will be thrown, whether a player will be able to achieve a 9 dart finish and what the final score of the match will be. Several of the markets are in-play markets, such as who will win an individual leg of a match and whether the checkout score will be over or under a particular number.
Betting on the color of the checkout is another in-play market, of which some of the online bookmakers offered through our site take bets on until the score drops below 300 or even 200. Even watching the match extremely carefully and researching the form and confidence of each player won’t help to make a bet of this kind anything more than a random choice, although there’s no denying that placing smaller bets on the color of the checkout will help to make the end of each and every leg of a darts match much more exciting.
