The Match Treble Bet is a very easy-to-understand bet in Darts. It is a treble bet in which all three elements must be winning selections for the bet to win. The three elements are:

The player who wins the match.
The player who scores the most 180s in the match.
The player who achieves the highest checkout in the match.

Punters can elect to pick the same player for each of the three elements, or select any combination of the two players competing for their bet for each individual element. Thus offering eight possible winning combinations for the bet.

Each of the possible eight winning combinations comes with its own odds depending on how bookmakers view how likely that particular outcome is in the context of the match and the tournament.

However, understanding what match treble betting is in darts presupposes that you already understand the three elements of the bet outlined above.

Match Treble Betting - The Three Key Betting Elements

As we explained above, there are three key elements to match treble betting in darts. We have explored each of these elements in more detail below.

Player to Win the Match

The first part of the treble bet is to select which of the two players competing in the match will be the victor. You can check the odds on the match outcome with your choice of bookmaker to gain an idea of who the bookie sees as the favourite for this particular part of the bet.

Hitting the Most 180s in the Match

During any darts match, players will throw three darts each turn and the highest score possible is 180 (also called a ‘maximum’). Scores over 100, those of 140 and also 180 are tracked in these tournaments to show which player scores most of each type of score.

The key thing to note here is that there is usually a significant correlation between the player that hits the most 180s in a match, and the player that goes on to win the game, although this is not always the case.

Highest Checkout in the Match

The final part of the bet is to select which player will hit the highest checkout in a game. Players must finish on a double or the bullseye in darts. The highest possible checkout is 170 (2x treble 20 and 1x bullseye (50)).

The correlation between the highest checkout and the match winner, or even hitting the most 180s isn’t as strong as the other two markets. That is because even the poorer players, who may only win a leg or two, can still hit high-scoring checkouts against any player. If they do not score as highly as their opponent they may need to land higher checkouts in order to win a leg.

Match Treble Betting in Darts - The Eight Options Available

One of the big misunderstandings people may have about a Match Treble bet in Darts is that you do not have to pick the same player to win each of the different elements of the bet.

Instead, you can pick one of the two players competing, in any combination for any of the three elements of the bet.

In the table below, we have put together all eight possible combinations of Match Treble Bet you could make on a hypothetical match between Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen.

To Win Match	Most 180s	Highest Checkout	Possible Odds
Luke Littler	Luke Littler	Luke Littler	11/8
Luke Littler	Luke Littler	Michael van Gerwen	7/2
Luke Littler	Michael van Gerwen	Luke Littler	9/1
Luke Littler	Michael van Gerwen	Michael van Gerwen	16/1
Michael van Gerwen	Michael van Gerwen	Michael van Gerwen	16/1
Michael van Gerwen	Michael van Gerwen	Luke Littler	28/1
Michael van Gerwen	Luke Littler	Michael van Gerwen	14/1
Michael van Gerwen	Luke Littler	Luke Littler	13/2

How are Match Treble Betting Odds Decided?

Match treble betting odds in darts are decided by taking the odds on each player for each market individually, and then combining these odds into the eight treble bets we see above.

However, there can be factors that can alter the odds of certain combinations. For example, in the example above, you can see that after the option for Luke Littler to win all three elements, the next best odds are Littler to win the Match, score the most 180s but Michael van Gerwen to hit the highest checkout. That’s because Van Gerwen, like Littler, is outstanding when it comes to finishing legs on higher scores.

Most top betting sites will factor in a player's general trend to score highly/checkout on higher scores, when they formulate the odds for this market.

With just two options for each bet and a total of eight possible outcomes in a singles game of darts, it sounds like a Match Treble Bet can be a potentially successful bet.

Certainly, it has a good chance of success in the early rounds of tournaments, when top players play unranked players, but even then it is not fallible. Chiefly because even the lowest ranked players in tournaments are more than capable of hitting 170 checkouts, or plenty of 180s in a match, but still go on to lose the match.

In games between two players of similar ability, this is a very tricky market to predict.

Is Match Treble Betting Worth A Punt In Darts?

Yes, darts fans seeking some better odds options to the standard most 180, highest checkout or to win match single bets, can find a Match Treble Bet a great option in terms of offering much longer odds.

However, remember with those longer odds comes a greater chance of the bet failing. But with just eight possible combinations, a carefully considered, well-researched and informed Darts Match Treble Bet is a great option to consider when betting on any game of darts!
