Darts in hand
- With three darts: treble 17, bull (50).
- With two darts: treble 17, bull (50).
- With one dart only doubles and the bull finish, and 101 is not one of them.
If the first dart misses
Hit the single 17 instead of treble 17 and you are left on 84. That has no finish with the darts you have left, so use the next dart to set up: treble 16 leaves double 18.
The finishing double
The route finishes on the bull. It is the hardest double to hit in the game, so keep this route for when there is no other way out.
Other ways out
These routes add up too. Players pick between them by the trebles they trust and the double they like to finish on.
