In darts sports betting, “0.5” usually appears in over/under bets, and it indicates a threshold that a certain statistic must go over or under.
Common Contexts for “0.5” in Darts Betting:
- Total Sets or Legs Over/Under 0.5
- Example: Over 0.5 Legs Won by Player A
- Meaning: You’re betting that Player A will win at least 1 leg (because you can’t win 0.5 legs).
- If Player A wins 1 or more legs, the bet wins.
- If Player A wins 0 legs, the bet loses.
- 180s (Maximum Scores) Over/Under 0.5
- Example: Over 0.5 180s in Match
- Meaning: You’re betting that there will be at least one 180 (a score of 180 in a single turn) during the match.
- If there is 1 or more 180s, the bet wins.
- If there are zero 180s, the bet loses.
- Checkout Over/Under 0.5
- Example: Over 0.5 100+ Checkouts
- Meaning: At least one checkout (finishing a leg) must be worth 100 points or more.
Why 0.5?
Because in betting, you can’t score half a leg or half a 180. So 0.5 is used to create a clear win/loss outcome — there’s no draw or push.
