From the Premier League and Champions League to the Irish Premier Division, football is one of the most popular sports on the planet. BOYLE Sports is the best place to be for online football betting, with comprehensive markets across the biggest competitions, competitive odds and a decades-long history in betting throughout the UK and Ireland. Those looking to wager on football markets can find out what our sports betting site has to offer, as we look through the markets and competitions you can bet on with our football betting odds.
Football betting is the act of placing wagers on football events, allowing you to back teams or players to achieve specific outcomes in these games. This is one of the most popular forms of sports betting, and football odds are a main part of the sportsbook industry, due to the attention it attracts. We are going to look at how to place football bets, how they work, and which markets are available on the site.
Placing a football bet involves choosing a football match or competition and selecting the outcome you want to bet on. Once you have chosen your selection, you can add it to your betslip, enter your stake and confirm your football bet.
Before looking at which selections you might want to place bets on throughout our football odds, it is worth understanding how to place these wagers in the first place. Here are a couple of steps that you can use throughout football betting to make any predictions:
Thankfully, all football betting markets are settled automatically, with users not needing to manually check the outcome of games. This is done as soon as the final whistle is blown and certain actions in the game occur.
Here at BOYLE Sports, our football odds are displayed as fractional odds, meaning we would show odds such as 2/1 and 5/1. For example, Manchester City might be placed at 2/1 to beat Manchester United, meaning if you placed £10, there would be £20 returned. However, this does not include the stake, which also comes back to you if the bet is won; this means the total return would be £30.
If you are interested in betting on either of these teams, you can check out our Premier League odds markets, which are available on site. In the lead-up to a match, many factors can impact the football odds. Things like a top player returning to the side or being suspended, team form and unhappy players can all affect the odds, so it is important to keep track of these factors.
Live football betting odds shift continuously in the lead-up to a game, reacting to several things. Confirmed lineups, the table standings, form of sides going into a match, and previous head-to-head records can all impact the prices, with there also being several things that can see odds shift once a match has kicked off, too. This can include goals being scored, red cards being dished out, possession percentages, time remaining, and momentum shifts, all of which keep these live football odds reflective of the current ongoing action on the pitch.
As football betting is extremely popular throughout the market, it is no surprise that some of the bets are seen frequently at our sports betting site. Whether you are making predictions across our Champions League betting markets or more obscure football matches, here are some of the most popular selections in this sport.
Starting with the match result market, this is arguably the most straightforward option in football betting, letting users predict a home win, an away win, or a draw across the full 90 minutes. Similarly, there are the handicap markets, which build on this by applying a virtual goal advantage or disadvantage to one team before kick-off. A favourite might be handicapped by -1, meaning they'd need to win by two or more goals for the bet to be correct, while the underdog could be given a +1 handicap, only needing to avoid defeat by more than a single goal.
This football betting market simply asks whether both sides will find the net at any point during the match, no matter the final result. It doesn't matter if one team scores twice and their opponent grabs just one; as long as both teams register at least one goal, it applies to the ‘yes’ option within this market.
Moving on to the over/under options in football betting, these are goal-based markets where users try to predict whether the total number of goals scored in a match will finish above or below a set threshold. These are usually seen in the form of decimal numbers such as 2.5, meaning backing "over" means three or more goals are needed, while "under" requires the match to finish with two goals or fewer.
Card markets in online football betting cover a range of options tied to bookings throughout a match. Total cards lets users bet on whether the combined number of yellow and red cards will finish above or below a set line, while player to receive a card lets you back a specific individual to pick up a yellow or red at any point during the game.
As its name implies, this football betting market gives individuals the option to wager on the exact final scoreline of a match, rather than the overall result on its own. Because there are so many possible outcomes, correct score markets tend to have higher odds than the standard match result selections, due to the added layer of difficulty.
When it comes to goalscorer markets, these let users back a specific player to find the net during a match, with several variations available. First goalscorer requires the selection to score the opening goal, next goalscorer focuses on whoever scores the following goal at any given point in the match, and anytime goalscorer simply requires the chosen player to score at any stage, regardless of when it might occur.
Rather than focusing on a single match, outright football betting markets let you bet on how a season or competition unfolds as a whole. This could include predicting a team to win the league or a specific trophy, reach a cup final, or end up being relegated. Some other outright football betting options can include player-focused markets, too, like choosing someone to win the Golden Boot or be named Player of the Season. Additionally, outright markets also extend beyond the players themselves, with options available on which manager might be the next to be sacked during the season.
It is important to note that you can bet on football fixtures at BOYLE Sports whilst they are happening in real time. For example, if you think a team might come back from 1-0 down, you can place a match result bet on them to win the game, at higher odds than they would be placed at from the start of the fixture. In-play football betting is available throughout all competitions already listed, and you can bet on next goalscorers, teams to win and cards in this market.
Finally, football bet builders let you combine multiple selections from a single match into one combined bet, rather than needing separate matches to build an accumulator. This could mean pairing the result of the fixture with both teams to score, for example, with the football odds for each of these markets being calculated together. Like accumulators, though, each part of the bet builder needs to be predicted correctly in order to potentially produce any return.
Here, you'll find an array of football competitions to bet on, including domestic football, European football and international fixture markets. Let's take a look at what competitions you can place bets on here:
Although club football is the main attraction when it comes to football betting, we also offer markets on international football. You can find a wide selection of betting options available, alongside the iconic European Championships and other international competitions.

There are plenty of commonly asked questions surrounding football betting, and we aim to answer some of them right here.
Football betting is simply betting on what you think will happen in a match or competition. You can bet on things like the match winner, number of goals, goalscorers or which team will win a football competition.
When it comes to football odds, match result betting is one of the most popular forms of bets, whilst Both Teams to Score is also extremely common. As its name implies, the match result options give users the choice to choose between a draw, a home win, or an away team victory.
A football 'acca' is an accumulator bet, which is when you bet on the outcome of multiple matches under a single stake. All results have to be correct for the accumulator to be successful.
An each-way football bet is two bets in one: a win bet and a place bet. For example, you can place an each-way bet on teams to get to the finals, meaning if they do not win the competition, they might still finish in a place position.
With a handicap bet, the favourite is given a theoretical disadvantage and the underdog is given an advantage to level the playing field. This betting selection is often seen when two unevenly matched teams play each other.
If you are looking for football odds promotions and offers, BOYLE Sports has an array of these available, including Sub Swap and Football Early Payout, and many more.
