In darts sports betting, seeing “-1.5” usually refers to a handicap bet. Here’s what it means:
➤ “-1.5” Handicap in Darts Betting (Spread Betting):
You are betting on a player to win by more than 1.5 legs or sets, depending on the match format.
If the bet is on “Player A -1.5”:
- Player A must win the match by at least 2 legs or 2 sets.
- Example (in a best of 11 legs match):
- If Player A wins 6–3 → bet wins
- If Player A wins 6–5 → bet loses (only won by 1 leg)
If the bet is on “Player A +1.5”, then:
- Player A can lose by 1 leg, or win, and your bet still wins.
Summary:
- -1.5 = Player must win by 2 or more
- It adds a challenge (handicap) to increase the odds
