Tennis, darts & cue sports

Individual sports give accumulator builders a clean set of two-way markets, since a tennis match or a darts leg has no draw to complicate the arithmetic. This section covers how those markets are written.

Tennis and darts come first, then snooker and golf, followed by table tennis, badminton and padel, with curling and chess as the oddities. Golf alone brings each-way betting, where the place terms come from the market and differ between events and operators.

No statutory list of permitted markets exists in Britain. Within a licence category such as real events, the operator’s own rules decide what is offered, so one match may look different at two bookmakers.
