BoyleSports is one of the biggest independent bookmakers in Ireland. The company was founded in 1989 and at that time it was a retail operation but subsequently moved online. The site is regulated by gambling commissions in the UK and Gibraltar. Customers with BoyleSports can bet on about 25 sports. Margins are about average for football, tennis and US Sports and the overall betting margin is competitive.
The operator offers promotions for new and existing customers, including for the 2022 Cheltenham Festival which is huge for betting in Ireland. BoyleSports have remained in business despite competition from bigger firms in Ireland and the established betting brands in the United Kingdom. The company has a loyal base of clients who will be placing bets at BoyleSports during the 2022 Cheltenham Festival.
BoyleSports offers one of the best ranges of ongoing promotions numerically and in terms of value. Each day customers can take advantage of about 15 offers related to horse racing, football and other sports. This promotional activity will increase during Cheltenham and here are the current promotions related to the Festival:
This is a very regular deal offered by BoyleSports, though the tracks it focuses on changes every day making the promotion live. It’s hoped that this continues during the Festival.
Place a normal win bet on a horse race, and if your runner finishes second to the starting price favourite then your stake is refunded as a free bet.
The maximum refund you can claim is £20/€20, to be used as a future free bet. Just be aware that in most cases, you won’t be able to use your refunded free bet against another BoyleSports promotion.
This is a great deal for regular horse racing punters. Finding the value on a non-favourite is one thing, but then being wrong and being beaten by the best-backed horse in the race directly leading to a refund is too good a deal to ignore.
During many daily horse races, and particularly it’s hoped during the Cheltenham Festival, BoyleSports offers extra places on specific races.
This would usually involve the typical three-place market becoming a four-place market. Each-way odds can either be 1/4 or 1/5 of the actual odds.
Instead of 8-runner race qualifying however, there would need to be a minimum of 12 runners for BoyleSports to pay out on fourth place, though if the event is a handicap of 16 or more runners a 5th place can also be paid.
This deal is particularly good during the incredibly competitive Cheltenham Festival handicaps of 20+ runners, such as the Fred Winter or the County Hurdle, when many well-handicapped horses appear to be in with an each-way chance.
Finding a competitive Festival runner at odds of around 20/1 is a great way to use this deal when it is offered as you may well be essentially getting 4/1+ for a horse simply to finish in the first five.
Available at BoyleSports online or in high street shops, this promotion is great for those typical Cheltenham accumulators involving some of the star performers who may be going off at shorter prices.
Bets must be placed on the day, not ante-post, and only in the win or each-way markets. Take the price offered on each of your horses and if they go off at a bigger SP, you’ll be paid out at the bigger price.
This can lead to quite a large ‘bonus’. A four-horse multiple at 11/10 each for example would net a return of £194 for a £10 stake should all four horses win, while if they ended up going off at 6/4 each the return would be more like £390.
As well as these ongoing promos, BoyleSports Cheltenham specials and specific BoyleSports Cheltenham free bets are likely to be offered.
As soon as full details are released by the company regarding their 2022 Cheltenham Festival specials, we will update this section and tell you exactly how to best take advantage of what is being offered.
Boylesports offer the best price on a number of horses running at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival. They are competing with operators who have introduced non runner no bet for all 28 races at Cheltenham. One of the benefits of ante post betting is to get better odds than the price of a horse on the day of the race. However, if the backed horse does not run bets are lost with firms that do not offer NRNB. BoyleSports are one of these bookmakers so they have to compensate customers by offering more attractive and generous ante post prices for some horses.
BoyleSports is well-known for having a well-functioning app, which is always a good thing for the modern gambler. A strong line-up of payment options and a welcome bonus being offered are also reasons to join up.

Your welcome bonus can be used at that point on any Festival race, new Cheltenham betting promotions will be advertised too while Best Odds Guaranteed and Extra Places are other ways you can take advantage of betting with this firm.
