Cricket
Cycling
Darts
Field Hockey
Football

It also provides punters with a few non-sporting selections from the world of politics, entertainment and TV. You can challenge yourself in the financials section doing ForEx betting. We don’t advise this though unless you have a good understanding of the subject.

Boylesports Football Betting Tips
There’s a wealth of football betting at BoyleSports. You have action from 70 countries around the world, resulting in more than 130 league and cup tournaments available for betting. The menu contains a number of coupons such as BTTS, handicaps and O/U goal markets on top of Colossus betting as well.
Pre-match market depth is variable. The Premier League leads the show with on average 140 markets per fixture. These include all of the popular stuff such as match winner, correct score, draw no bet, total goals, margins, corners, cards, half markets and much more. Other leagues like the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, SPL and the Championship only have 70 open markets. This number drops further when you view the MLS (64 markets per match), Argentina Primera Division (32 markets) and Japan J-League (27 markets).
Boylesports Horse Racing Betting Tips & more
BoyleSports is proud of its racing heritage and it shows. You have all UK and Ireland races - with best odds guaranteed and the majority streamed live, too. There’s also racing from South Africa, the USA, Germany and Australia among other countries.
You’ve got comprehensive form guides from the Racing Post and a superb stats section which provides hot/cold jockeys and trainers plus on-course performance and farthest travellers. You’re also provided with race-by-race tips from PostData and SpotLight. Collectively, there is a mountain of top-quality information which should help you make more informed bet choices.
Betting markets include win and each way in addition to forecast and tricast. You also have Irish and US Tote betting available with Trifecta, Exacta, Superfecta and Placepot betting options open to you.
Whilst horse racing and football are the showpiece events, BoyleSports doesn’t slouch on other sports. Greyhound racing comes from the UK and Ireland with many cards streamed live. Tennis has a long list of ATP, WTA and ITF Men’s and Women’s tournaments. There are also some interesting futures markets with all of next season’s Grand Slam events already open for betting. Golf follows a similar path with all the current tournaments listed as well as the next four majors and the 2020 Ryder Cup. Furthermore, Rugby Union coverage cannot be faulted. It offers leagues from Ireland, the UK and France. Plus, there is the Six Nations, Heineken Cup, Challenge Cup and British Lions tour open for betting.
Where BoyleSports is a little off the pace is with baseball and ice hockey as it only offers the MLB and NHL respectively. Basketball betting is available on the NBA and Spain’s professional league, and handball the French league only.
BoyleSports holds its own in the odds it gives punters. We would class them as competitively fair. However, from the sample we compared, there were some wide swings, so it’s best to check out a couple of betting sites to see what you come up with.

Live betting is fun and thrilling, and this bookmaker offers quite a bit for you to enjoy. Events range from football, rugby, tennis, snooker and golf to ice hockey, cricket, futsal and basketball.
Market depth could certainly doing with being beefed up. For instance, the football match between Boca Juniors and Cruzeiro had 9 betting markets at BoyleSports compared to 68 at bet365. MLB action between the Braves and Dodgers once again saw bet365 offer more markets. Certainly, all the main bets are covered, but if you want a greater scope, you’re probably wise to look around at other sites.
Boylesports Website & Login
When you open BoyleSports’ website, there’s quite a lot going on. These are a few of the key features mobile and desktop customers can expect:
BoyleSports Cash Out
Online punters literally demand this betting tool and BoyleSports delivers. It’s available on selected sports and markets including football, tennis, GAA, snooker, rugby, cricket and basketball among others. It covers both pre-match and in-play markets for singles and multiple bets. There’s a handy icon to identify which markets allow Cash Out so you know where you stand.
::
BoyleSports Acca Loyalty
Free bet clubs have become rather common of late but BoyleSports takes it a step further with its Acca Loyalty offer. All you need to do is place five £/€5 accumulator bets and you’ll receive a free £/€5 accumulator bet on the house. Each of the five qualifying accumulators must be a combined total of 3/1 (4.0) or greater and they must have a minimum of five legs (selections). Still, this is a tidy offer especially if you love accumulator betting.
::
BoyleSports Lotto
You can choose from any of 14 lotteries from around the world, including countries such as Ireland, Poland, Canada, Greece, Spain, the UK, France and Australia. These games are based on the results from those lotteries - but you are not buying a ticket for the respective draws. BoyleSports guarantees the payout for all winning tickets. Please note: the prize amount may vary from the payout on the actual draws.
::
Website & Usability
The betting platform on a desktop is a touch dated in our opinion. The font and betting buttons are both quite small. It appears as though BoyleSports is trying to cram too much information on there.
That said, once you’ve had a minute to evaluate it, navigation is very straightforward. Virtually, everything is done from the side menu, for example: football > England > Premier League. This method avoids having to load individual pages enroute to where you want to be.
The mobile view is more simple and we found it very user-friendly. Placing bets is quick and easy. Your bet slip splits when you add multiple selections so you only need to type in your stake next to the bet type you want.
Boylesports Mobile App
For punters that prefer to bet on the go, the BoyleSports mobile app is worth considering. It’s available for iOS and Android devices, and a recent upgraded version has been released which is claimed to be make it even faster.
Among the features customers get with the app are a quick and easy multi builder, instant horse racing results and Cash-Out King. The BoyleSports app also provides personalised content based on your prior betting habits and there are exclusive in-app promos which aren’t available anywhere else.
Boylesports Withdrawals & Deposits
There are a variety of depositing options available, but several are country specific. This is a list of the most popular:
Cash
Credit/Debit Cards
PayPal
Neteller
Skrill
Paysafecard
EuTeller
