The trebles have a bigger surface area than the bullseye, so they're easier to hit with more space for your three darts, while also being worth more in the case of T17-T20. In soft tip darts (played on dartboards with holes in them) players usually aim exclusively for the bullseye as both the inner and outer part are worth 50 points (rather than 50 for the inner and 25 for the outer) and therefore has a bigger surface area, allowing for more consistent scoring and less risk than going the trebles.
