Tennis, darts & cue sports

Darts is the subject of this site, and the sport belongs with tennis and snooker because each pits one player against another, so a price reflects two forms rather than a team sheet.

Darts and snooker lead here, with tennis and golf behind them; table tennis, badminton, padel, curling and chess round things out. Golf is the one with each-way terms, and the places paid depend on the event and the operator, so they are read from the market.

Britain keeps no statutory list of markets that are allowed. A licence is held for a category such as real events; inside it each bookmaker sets its own markets, and one darts tournament can therefore be priced in unlike ways from site to site.
