What it's like to bet on football at Boylesports:
Boylesports was established in 1989 and are Irelands largest independent bookmaker with over 100 betting shops nationwide. Boylesports took their business online in 2001 and compete with the likes of PaddyPower for the title of best Irish online bookmaker. In saying that, the Boylesports website is clearly aimed at the UK market with particular focus on football betting with Irish markets like GAA tending to take a back seat.
Aside from football betting Boylesports has over 40 other sports that you can bet on but none are covered in as much depth or detail as their football section. In fact it's quite obvious that Boylesports strategy has been to increase their presence in the UK by focusing their attention on the English Premiership. Not only do they sponsor a Premiership football team in Sunderland AFC, but they also have one of the highest free football bets going.
The Boylesports website is competently designed with over 20 direct betting links on their homepage that allow you to easily place bets on the largest events of the day. As well as providing loads of additional football betting information and an excellent 'Soccerstats Centre', the range of Boylesports football bets is also pretty impressive. Boylesports also have a handy live betting slip that lets you monitor your activity from anywhere on their website.
One aspect of the Boylesports website that is worth mentioning is the speed in which Boylesports update their prices. We found this extremely useful for successful 'in running' football betting and have managed place 'last minute' bets on many occasions. Boylesports also have a 'Bet2View' service which gives you the opportunity of watching certain sporting events live on their website. Should you have any problems Boylesports offer a live help service which is just one click away from most sections of their website.
Overall Boylesports is a fairly decent online bookmaker for betting on football with but does slightly let itself down with its coverage of other major sporting events. If that doesn't bother you then Boylesports are probably for you but for us they tend to fall a bit short when you compare them to the high standards set at online bookmakers like Bet365 or SportingBet.
