BOYLE Sports Review

It's not even the most famous Irish online bookmaker available to UK punters, but BOYLE Sports gives Paddy Power a serious run for its money on many key metrics, and outperforms it on several.

Choose BOYLE Sports for:

📺 Horse racing and football live streaming

🤝 Fantastic range of payment options

🛠 Bet builders with exclusive special offers

📱 Super clean design and high quality mobile apps

It’s not the most exhilarating branding we’ve ever seen, but BOYLE Sports’ online sportsbook has a clean look to it. It’s the sort of design that screams:

‘Screw the fancy stuff, we get the basics absolutely spot on’. 

BOYLE Sports certainly does get the basics right, but it offers a lot more on top.

Horse racing and football betting - the most important for UK punters - are fantastic at BOYLE Sports, with interesting markets, well-thought-out market presentation, and numerous special offers available.

Decent odds relative to the other big names on the UK market are a plus point, as are the availability of ‘combine your odds’ options on outright markets and special offers integrated into Bet Builders.

BOYLE Sports has been around long enough to know that you need more than just good odds and a great selection of markets to keep those bets flowing.

Offers are a key part of any online bookmakers arsenal, and there are plenty to take advantage of at BOYLE Sports.

Free bet offers are bread and butter for most UK bookies, so it's no surprise to see BOYLE Sports offering them to new and existing customers alike.

Footy punters are especially well catered for with the BOYLE Sports acca loyalty offer (£5 free acca for every five accas placed), acca insurance (free bet if your 5+ leg acca loses by one leg), and a Bet Builder with built-in special offers that can be activated.

Fans of racing can also utilise one of the better best odds guaranteed offers in the UK market as well as other fairly typical offers like free bet if 2nd to the SP favourite.

The main criticism that we would have of BOYLE Sports’ offers is that some of them are only available offline (i.e., if you walk into a BOYLE Sports shop on the high street). Not something that would stop us using this bookie, but something worth remembering nonetheless.

BOYLE Sports is a big name in UK and Irish racing. The branding is a common sight at racecourses across these isles, and it’s been a main sponsor of the Punchestown Festival for more than a dozen years now.

The BOYLE Sports big bosses clearly spend big bucks on racing marketing, but they also clearly spend plenty on developing the actual racing sportsbook product itself, ‘cos it’s a good’un.

A standout feature is the live streaming available on selected races.

Just stick at least a quid on any market in a race marked with the little video icon and you can watch the live pictures from the comfort of your own home (or the bus seat, lunch canteen, or wherever else you place your bets from).

It would be nice to have a bit more preview information on the racecard view (like you can get on other bookies that integrate Spotlight data), but we’re splitting hairs a bit there. The racecard view overall is perfectly fine and it does show recent price history for each horse which, to be honest, is more useful than preview blurb.

We love the different options available at BOYLE Sports for racing punters. In addition to the standard or typical bets, for some of the bigger races BOYLE Sports takes bets on markets like:

• Betting W/O Fav
• I-Bet 4 Places (see description in the image above)
• Jollies V Rags (will the winner come from the runners selected by BOYLE Sports in the Jollies group or the Rags group?)

BOYLE Sports Best Odds Guaranteed

Although not at the same levels of the UK mega brands like Bet365, Ladbrokes, Betfair, and Paddy Power, BOYLE Sports has been a recognisable name in British football betting for a long time now.

Pepe Reina probably won’t be signing up for a BOYLE Sports account any time soon.

Remember that Darren Bent goal for Sunderland against Liverpool in 2009 that deflected off an inflatable beach ball on its way past Reina? Yep, Darren had a big BOYLE Sports logo on his shirt.

BOYLE Sports probably could have made a quick buck selling branded beach balls outside the Stadium of Light on match day for the next few weeks but, instead, it (sensibly) pursued the more sustainable long-term strategy of building a smashing online football betting product.

Match selection is excellent - it would be fairly tough to find a game worth betting on that isn’t available at BOYLE Sports. You’re pretty much covered unless you want to back your local Sunday league team or take unders in the Maltese third tier, or something.

The are, of course, the usual markets like match odds, over/under lines, and lots more. There are unfortunately no asian handicap lines, but the availability of ‘combine your odds’ options on first goalscorer markets which allows you to back up to three players at the same time is pretty sweet.

There’s a decent chunk of footy that you can stream live on BOYLE Sports.

The availability of live football streaming is often something that can help you tell the serious bookies apart from the pretenders. BOYLE Sports is a serious bookie. Streaming looks great on both desktop and mobile at BOYLE Sports.

If you’re not streaming, other data are available to help shape your betting angle. For example, we like the ‘verdict’ view which shows you where ‘weight of money’ is (in other words, what the distribution of bets on each outcome is in a particular market).

That sort of insight can help you find value in an under-backed team, or perhaps help you identify a heavily backed team (that you don’t know much about) to add to an acca.
