Find Out Our Reviews of Irish Bookmakers

What is a Bookmaker?

Well, in its simplest terms, a bookmaker is a company that takes sports bets from sports betting fans. They will usually offer a large variety of markets for the sports that they offer - well, the best ones will anyway.

The deal with sportsbooks is that you hand them some cash and place a particular bet. If what you predicted is right, then you will receive your stake back as well whatever profit you have made. How much profit you make will depend entirely on the betting odds that you make use of, which is why it is really important that you place bets using the best odds that you can. This is why we recommend that you register with more than one sportsbook as this will allow you to compare the odds on offer and then select the best odds for whatever market you want to bet on.

There are many land-based bookies around Ireland where you can go to bet on sports, but thanks to ever-improving technology you can now bet on sporting events without even having to leave your home. The best thing about online betting sites is that you can place sports bets 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, and there are usually a lot more markets for you to choose from.

For instance, if you love your football and bet on it every now and again, then you will be able to place your money on markets such as:

• The team that will win the match
• The amount of goals scored in a match
• The player that will score first
• The amount of corners in a match
• The number of yellow cards that the ref produces
• Whether a certain player will pick up a booking
• Whether a certain player will be shown a red card
• Whether both of the teams will score
