I have the upmost respect for Richard Anderson and his OnTheOche service. To be in the game for 17 years is a great advert to the service he provides. Having tipped on and off on darts for nearly a decade I know how difficult it can be.

Richard kindly gave me free access to his service. I love the way it operates with tips sent out by email with a preview with every selection. The volume of tips is quite low and I was following for several months, unfortunately during a poor spell of results.

I’m well aware this can happen so I’m not basing my review on my results, but more on the overall stats since the service began. Darts offers limited opportunities to bet and with a low volume of tips, the average monthly profit is likely to fall somewhere between 1-3pts (it’s +1.16pts per month since the service began). With a monthly sign up fee of around £35, you need to be investing at least £50 per point to make this service viable.

From personal experience, betting that much on a smaller sport like darts isn’t always possible. So whilst I really like the way this service is run, I just don’t think the numbers quite add up. That said, there is a 14 day free trial, so give it a go yourself.
