138 checkout

In short

138 checks out in three darts under double out: T20, T18, D12, for 60 + 54 + 24. If the treble 20 lands in the single 20, 118 is left, out of reach with two darts left: T20, S18 leave 40, so D20 on the next visit. Should the second dart, at the treble 18, drop into the single 18, 60 is left, out of reach with the last dart: S20 leaves 40, so D20 on the next visit. With only two darts in hand, T20, T18 leave 24, so D12. Under straight out, where any segment can finish: T20, T20, S18.

When a dart strays

A missed treble or double often drops into the single of the same segment, and a missed bull into the 25 around it. Here is what that leaves, and what comes next.
