BOYLE Sports Review

BOYLE Sports isn’t just renowned for betting, though. Their online casino ranks among the best in the business with an impressive catalogue of new, exclusive and classic games.

If that wasn’t enough, BoyleSports accept a wide range of payments and they do a sterling job of looking after customers with a dedicated support team available around the clock.

All told, BOYLE Sports more than lives up to its tag as one of Ireland’s best online bookmakers.

BoyleSports has betting promos for football, horse racing and golf. These can last for the season or get rolled out specifically for big games.

Some promos run all of the time including:

• Extra Place Races: 4 and 5 payout places for selected horse races

• Best Odds Guaranteed: Lock in the early price on any UK or Irish horse race as early as 8am and get paid out at the bigger price if the SP ends up being greater.

• Acca Rewards: When placing a 5+ acca, you can choose whether to boost your acca or insure it (ie. get money back as a free bet if one leg lets you down).

• Acca Loyalty: Opt-in and for every 5 accas placed you get a €5 free acca

In addition to a very nice variety of promotions, BoyleSports has joined the growing number of bookies with free-to-play games.

BOYLE Sports Fantasy 5, which is based on the popular Fantasy Football game, gives punters the chance to win €10,000, free bets and other top prizes after each round of Premier League games.

In addition to the terrific signup offer, BoyleSports has lots of money-back specials running, even giving Paddy Power (the self-proclaimed ‘Kings of the Money Back Special’) a run for their money.

There are heaps of betting promotions for existing customers at BoyleSports

Here are a couple of deals you can take advantage of:

• Money back as a free bet if your backed horse finishes 2nd to the SP favourite
• Money back as a free bet if your backed greyhound finishes 2nd to the SP favourite

As mentioned, racing and football are the two most popular sports BOYLE Sports covers and this is reflected in the side menu where you will find both sports placed prominently. Also high on the list and easy to tap into are Golf and GAA Sports.

The growing popularity of US sports is also clear with a good amount of coverage for American football, Basketball and Baseball. But as is the case with every top betting site, you can have a punt on pretty much any sport there is.

Even those sports you only show interest in when the Olympics swing around - bowls, rowing, swimming, water polo and the like - are part of an impressive A-Z menu of sports possible to wager on.

As one of the top horse racing bookmakers, there are multiple pre-race and live horse racing betting markets to select from.

On top of standard Win or E/W, Forecast and Tricast Options, BoyleSports are a tad more inventive than other bookies.

Examples of alternative markets you will find include Betting W/O Favourite, I-Bet 4 Places (where you’re paid as a winner if your horse wins and your stake is refunded if it finishes in the named places) and Jollies V Rags (where you pick whether the winner of the runners selected by BoyleSports will finish in the Jollies group or Rags group).

In addition to showpiece events, like the Grand National, the Epsom Derby, and Cheltenham, BoyleSports offer cards for all single meetings in the UK and Ireland. Selected races in the USA, Australia, and France are also covered.

Not only can you bet on numerous races, but you can also watch them too - punters can stream hundreds of races live on the website and BoyleSports mobile betting app.

Unique to BoyleSports is their Combined Odds feature which works well for horse racing in particular. Here, you can pick three horses and see the odds for your selections generated automatically, before adding the combined bet to your bet slip.

Of course, no horse racing betting coverage is complete without an extensive Virtual Racing section where you can have a flutter on simulated races every few minutes.

• Opta-powered pre-match stats: With each top game, there’s a slew of stats (from Opta no less) to base your bets on including various H2H for form, stats and previous meetings.

• Seamless navigation and betting: Matches and bets are easy to find and simple to place. You can search for games by popularity, those upcoming and matches where you can use the BetBuilder. Under that, there’s a list of in-play matches and ‘Top Bets’ here you can add the top 5 bets to your betslip with one click.

• Great selection (and presentation) of markets: Toggle between well categorised markets, all of which are packed with different bets. One notable absence from the list of markets is Asian Handicap. If this your go-to bet type, you may be disappointed.

• Price Boosts and Specials: Click on any game and there’s list of boosted odds for a number of markets and an even longer list of special bets that range from enhanced trebles, doubles and Next Manager markets.

Many Irish bookies are neither here nor there when it comes to their coverage of Golf. At BOYLE Sports, however, it is one of the most covered sports.

As you’d expect, there’s no shortage of tournaments to bet on. From the US Open to The Masters, Open Championship to the Ryder Cup, BoyleSports - and even some of the smaller ones - BoyleSports covers them all.

Markets-wise, the range is excellent. The ‘combine your odds’ feature mentioned previously is available for outright bets and is a great way to cover three of the tournament favourites and still get a good price.

BoyleSports is also the industry leader for golf betting, offering up to 11 places on some majors.

Despite the dominance of the other sports highlighted, betting on Gaelic football and hurling remains popular.

And like football, racing and golf, you have multiple markets for each game including outrights, handicaps, draw no bet, double result, as well as goalscorers, scoring specials and half markets.

You can ‘combine your odds’ by picking up to three selections on First Goalscorer and Winning Margin markets too.

Top/trending bets can be added to your bet slip in one quick tap of the button, while BoyleSports also offer numerous GAA Price Boosts and futures markets for All-Ireland Senior Football, Hurling and Camogie Championships and All-Ireland Club Championships.

BOYLE Sports sponsor the most prestigious event in the Irish Greyhound Racing calendar, the Irish Derby.

And if you’re a punter whose thirst for racing extends to betting on the dogs, you’ll be delighted with BoyleSports’ coverage of Greyhound racing too.

A great variety of betting markets, free live streaming, free bet promotions and virtual races every 3 minutes are just a few of the highlights.

An online bookie worth their salt takes care of customers’ needs, and BOYLE Sports certainly does that.
