Two darts at the same treble make it easier to keep your rhythm than switching between 20 and 18.

Three bulls also make 150 — more of a party trick than an everyday route.

T20, Bull, D16 adds up, but the bull is a small target — while you still have darts in hand, go for a treble.

Via the bull: if the first dart only hits the 25, 110 is left and you can still finish (T20, Bull). A full bull leaves 85 (T15, D20). A single 20 on the main route leaves 115, which two darts cannot finish.

On the T16 route, T8 sits right next to it — if the second dart drifts there, 50 is left for the bull.

One treble is enough if you start at the bull — both the 25 and the bull leave a finish.

Starting on T19, even a stray T7 next to it keeps you in — 110 is left for T20, Bull.

If the first dart lands in the single 20, 110 is left and you can still finish (T20, Bull).

An awkward one with no clean route: a single 19 leaves 110 (fine), but T19 leaves 72 and you need another treble. T20 leaves a great 69, but a single 20 leaves 109 with no two-dart finish. Best not to leave it at all.

Just as awkward as 129 — avoid leaving it if you can.

A comfortable one: even a single 20 leaves 107 and you are still in (T19, Bull).

A single 19 leaves 107 (T19, Bull), T19 leaves 69 (T19, D6) — both can be finished.

Another awkward one. The 25 route leaves 75 (T17, D12) after a full bull and exactly 100 (T20, D20) after the outer 25.

Missing into the single 20 leaves 104 (T18, Bull); a single 14 with the second dart leaves 50.

A single 19 leaves 104 (T18, Bull); T19 and a single 16 leave exactly 50.

Both routes get you under 70 after the first treble and still leave a finish after a single (S20 → 101, S17 → 104).

Just a treble and a single 20 in either order — a good one for keeping your rhythm.

Go via 19, not 20: a single 20 with the first dart leaves 99, which has no two-dart finish, while a single 19 leaves 100 (T20, D20).

Missing the first dart into the single 20 leaves 97 (T19, D20).

Two darts at 19 — and the neighbouring T7 and T3 still keep you in.

Via 19: a single 19 with the first dart leaves 96 (T20, D18), which plays better than 95.

Even a single 12 with the second dart leaves D20. After T20, 52 is left — avoid S20, D16, as a treble 20 busts.

T20, Bull is the two-dart finish. With three darts, T20, T10, D10 is safer — even a single 10 leaves D20.

A stray dart into the single 5 next to the 20 leaves 104 (T18, Bull).

After T20, 48 is left: aim at the line between 16 and 8 — S16, S8, T8 and D8 all leave a double. Via 19, even a stray dart into the neighbouring single 7 keeps you in — 101 is left for T17, Bull.

Missing into the single 7 (100 left) or single 3 (104 left) still keeps you in.

After T20, 46 is left — 10 and 6 sit side by side and both leave a double.

Even if the first dart only hits the single 20, 85 is left and you are still in.

T18, Bull is the two-dart finish. With three darts stay on 18 and take a single 18 with the second dart — if the first lands in the neighbouring single 4, 100 is left for T20, D20. T19 is forgiving too: its neighbours 7 and 3 keep you in.

After T19, 46 is left and you can aim at the wide area of the 10 and 6 next to each other.

T17, Bull is the two-dart finish. With three darts go via T20 instead — the single 2 next to 17 leaves 99.

Watch out for the single 1 next to the 20 — it leaves 99.

The highest remainder under 100 you cannot finish with two darts — avoid leaving it.

For players who prefer the bull: if the second dart only hits the single 20, exactly 50 is left.

A single 20 with the first dart leaves 70 (T20, D5), and another single 20 leaves exactly 50.

Do not go for T16 — a single 16 leaves 72 and you will not get under 70.

With three darts the bull is better: even the outer 25 leaves 57 (S17, D20).

Avoid T16, D16 — a single 16 leaves 64 and you need another treble.

T13, D20 is more common, but T19 is better: a single 19 leaves 60, a single 13 only 66.

Via 19: a single 19 leaves 58 (S18, D20). A single 15 on the main route leaves 62, which needs a treble or the bull.

Anything around the 16 gets you under 70 (S16 → 60, S8 → 68, S7 → 69). Next to the 20, a single 5 leaves 71.

Everything around the 16 leaves 70 or less, and T8 next to it leaves exactly 50.

With three darts go T13; with two, T19 — if it drifts into T7, 50 is left.

With three darts go T16 — even a single 16 leaves 52. With two darts, T18, D7 is better.

With three darts go T9 — the numbers around the 9 leave under 60, unlike the 2 and 3 next to the 17.

With only two darts, T16, D9 works well.

With three darts T11 is best — its neighbours 14 and 8 leave a finish.

T8 next to the 16 leaves 40 (D20).

Watch out for T20 with the first dart — it is a bust.

Going via 17 is better — a stray dart into the single 3 leaves exactly 50.

S20, D16 is tempting, but a treble 20 busts.

Avoid S19, D16 — a treble 19 busts.

Aim at the bull mainly with your last dart; with more darts in hand, a single and a double is safer.

Watch out for T16 — it is a bust.

The 6 and 10 sit side by side — aim between them, both leave a double.

The 8 and 16 sit side by side — a single 8 leaves D18, a single 16 leaves D14.

If you hit the neighbouring 19 or 17 instead of the 3, D12 or D13 is left.

The 6 and 10 sit side by side — both leave a double.

The numbers at the bottom of the board (7, 19, 3) sit together and each leaves a double. Just watch out for T19 — it busts.

Any of 7, 19, 3 and 17 leaves an even number for a double.

The single 3 is the safest — even the neighbouring 19 and 17 leave a double (D7, D8).

Any of 7, 19, 3 and 17 leaves an even remainder for a double.

Any of 7, 19, 3 and 17 leaves an even remainder for a double.

Going via 19 or 7 is better — the neighbours at the bottom of the board leave a double.

On the route via 3, watch the neighbouring single 19 — it busts.

Better than S1, D8 — the 20 and 18 next to the 1 both bust.
