Betting Offers Ireland

When you create a new account with a bookmaker, you are usually offered a free bet, bonus or enhanced odds as an incentive for signing up. However, the rewards don’t stop there as many bookies run betting offers for existing customers on a daily or weekly basis or on specific events or sports.

Some bookies run more betting promotions than others and some are better than others. Below, we’re going to look at some of the betting offers that you can expect to find at the top Irish bookies and explain how they work and what you need to do to claim them.

Horse Racing Betting Offers

There is a host of horse racing betting offers to take advantage of if you know where to look. If you bet on horse racing regularly then taking advantage of offers such as Best Odds Guaranteed and Extra Places is a must as they can significantly increase your returns over time.

Below, we’ll take a look at some common horse racing offers and where to find them.

Best Odds Guaranteed

Several of the top bookmakers that accept customers from Ireland offer Best Odds Guaranteed and it is one horse racing offer that should be top of your list.

When Best Odds Guaranteed is available, if you back a horse and the starting price of your horse is greater than the price you took when you placed your bet, should your horse win, your bet will be settled at the bigger price.

Best Odds Guaranteed will never result in lesser returns but can often result in much greater ones unexpectedly.

The bookmakers listed below accept customers living in Ireland and offer Best Odds Guaranteed on at least all horse races taking place within Ireland and the UK.

Extra Places

Another popular horse racing offer is Extra Places. When you place an each way bet on horse racing, your total stake is spilt evenly into two with one half going on the horse to win and the on the horse to finish in a place position. The number of places that a bookie will pay out on the place part of your bet is set by the industry standard but occasionally they will pay out on extra places.

For example, the industry standard for a horse race with 8-11 runners is 3 places. This means that your each way bet would result in a return if your horse finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd. However, if a bookmaker was offering an additional place, the place part of your bet would also win if your horse finished 4th.

Not all bookies offer extra places and when they do, they’ll be on selected races. Extra places can not only be offered on horse races but also other sports such as greyhounds and golf.

The bookies listed below regularly offer extra places, usually on a daily basis, that can increase your overall returns from your racing bets over time.

Money-Back Offers

Money-back offers are common in horse racing and are a great chance to reduce the risk in your bets. They come in various forms such as the following:

Money Back if 2nd to SP Favourite

Money Back if 2nd to SP Favourite is offered by several bookmakers regularly. Some bookmakers run this offer on a daily basis on all Irish and UK races which is a solid reason to bet with them. With this offer, if the horse that you back finishes 2nd to the Starting Price Favourite, you’ll receive your stake back either as cash or a free bet depending on the bookies terms.

Money Back if 2nd

Money Back if 2nd is a similar offer to above except that your horse doesn’t need to be beaten by the SP favourite in order to qualify for the refund. Instead, they can be beaten by any horse.

Some bookies go one step further and offer money back if 2nd, 3rd or even 4th which is an excellent offer when available.

Early Payout Offers

There are only a couple of bookmakers, namely Bet365 and SkyBet, that run Early Payout Offers or ‘2 UP’ as they also known as. These offers usually apply to football but have been known to be available on other sports such as basketball or tennis. You simply have to place a bet on either team to win in an eligible football match and if they go two goals ahead at any point in the game, the bookmaker will settle your bet as a winner at that point regardless of whether or not they go on to win the game.
