Definition:
This is a special market in darts betting where you’re wagering on three or more legs in a match ending with a bullseye finish — either the outer bull (25 points) or the inner bull (50 points), typically used to finish the leg with a checkout.
Understand the Bullseye Finish:
- The bullseye is the center of the dartboard:
- Outer Bull (Green): 25 points
- Inner Bull (Red): 50 points (used most often in checkouts)
- A bullseye finish usually occurs when a player has a checkout score of 50 or 25 remaining and hits the bull to win the leg.
What the Bet Means:
You are betting that at least 3 separate legs during the match (or session, depending on the bet) will end with a player hitting the bullseye to win the leg.
Example:
Let’s say a match has 10 legs. The following happens:
- Leg 2: Player checks out 50 using a bullseye ➜
- Leg 5: Player finishes on 25 by hitting outer bull ➜
- Leg 8: Player checks out 50 with inner bull ➜
That’s 3 legs with bull finishes.
➡️ Your bet on “Bull Finish in 3 or More Legs – YES” wins.
If Only 2 Legs:
If only 1 or 2 legs end with a bullseye finish, your bet loses .
Betting Tips:
- Check Player Tendencies:
- Some players like Michael van Gerwen or Gerwyn Price are known for flashy finishes including bulls.
- Check their checkout preferences.
- Match Format Matters:
- More legs = More chances for bull finishes.
- A best-of-21 legs match gives you better odds than a short-format match.
- Watch for Double Trouble:
- If a player struggles with doubles, they may choose bull finishes more often.
- Live Betting Edge:
- If you notice players leaning on bull finishes early in a match, consider a live bet.
When to Bet “Yes”:
- Long matches (e.g., Premier League, World Championship sessions).
- Players known for bull checkouts.
- Matches with high stakes (more flair and risky finishes).
When to Avoid the Bet:
- Short matches (first to 4 or 5 legs).
- Players who strictly aim for traditional doubles (e.g., D20 or D16).
