What is GAA Betting?
With GAA betting, you get to bet on the top Gaelic sports competitions in Ireland. Both hurling and Gaelic football have been played in Ireland for well over a century, offering fast and frenetic action that’s perfect for betting on. Popular bets include outright bets, correct score, first goal scorer, and more.
If you want to bet on All-Ireland football, All-Ireland hurling or the action from the NFL, you can do it all and more at BoyleSports. We have comprehensive GAA betting markets and competitive GAA odds for today’s matches and all the encounters throughout the season.
GAA Betting Odds Online
At BoyleSports, all our GAA betting odds are displayed as fractional odds. For each match, you’ll see the odds for the home team to win, the away team to win or a draw.
For example, in a match between Dublin and Kerry, you might see odds like Dublin (4/6), Kerry (6/4), and Draw (11/2). A £10 bet on Dublin would return £16.67, while a £10 bet on Kerry would return £25.
GAA odds fluctuate right up to the start of the match. This could be based on injuries to key players, the form of the two sides coming into the encounter, and the previous head-to-head. Betting trends before a match can play a part too. At BoyleSports, we use a complex algorithm to determine all our GAA betting odds to ensure they are some of the best and most competitive on the market.

Types of GAA Betting Markets
Choose from a selection of GAA betting markets right here. Some of the most popular bets include:
Outright Winner
An outright bet is a simple bet on which team you think will triumph in the competition overall. Our outright GAA odds include the winners of All-Ireland Football, All-Ireland Hurling, All-Ireland Ladies, Munster Senior Football Championship and Leinster Senior Football Championship, plus many more.
Handicap Betting
With handicap betting, you can even the playing field when a favourite comes up against an underdog. Say for example, Kerry are playing against Mayo. Kerry starts the match at -2.5 and Mayo starts at +2.25. If you bet on Kerry to win, they would need to do so by three clear goals. A two-goal margin would still count as a loss.
With a handicap bet, you can either bet on the favourite (with the handicap) or the underdog (with the advantage), not both.

With live In-Play GAA betting, you bet as the match unfolds. This adds an extra layer of excitement to some already enticing contests. The odds fluctuate as the action happens on the pitch, changing along with the ebb and flow of the encounter.

1. Next goal scorer
2. Total number of goals
3. Winning margin
