GAA Betting
Betway has a wide range of GAA betting markets to choose from, available on desktop, mobile and app. Thanks to our fast, user-friendly format, GAA online betting has never been easier. Whether you wish to bet on GAA hurling or GAA football, you can make online pre-game or in-play bets at the touch of a button.
As well as providing online betting markets for all GAA Sports, Betway covers the biggest major competitions within those sports, including but not limited to GAA National Football League and the All-Ireland Senior Championships. If there’s a Gaelic hurling or football game taking place, Betway has online betting markets for it.
While thousands of Irish fans tune into GAA matches throughout the season, GAA betting is gaining in popularity across the globe, and you can access our GAA betting markets from multiple countries.
GAA Odds
To take your pick of the latest GAA odds, simply visit the Betway sports page and select “GAA” from the sub-menu. From there, you can take your pick of all available GAA odds, whether you’re searching for hurling or football markets. You can bet on which country you think will win a championship outright, or on individual games. For example, you could choose to bet on which team you think will earn victory in Cork versus Limerick in the Allianz League, but back Mayo to win the League at the end of the season.
What are Gaelic Sports?
Gaelic sports i.e., Gaelic games are sports that fall under the banner of the Gaelic Athletic Association. They include Gaelic hurling, Gaelic football, carmogie and rounders. At Betway, you can find betting odds online for GAA hurling and GAA football.
Gaelic football is played by two teams of fifteen, with the aim of scoring the highest points total at the end of the game. Player can catch, kick and handle the ball, and score points by either kicking the ball into a soccer-style goal (three points) or kicking over rugby style posts (one point).
In many ways, Hurling is a similar sport to Gaelic football. It’s also played by two teams of 15 with the aim of scoring the most points, with three points warded for a “goal” and one point for kicking over the bar. However, players also use a stick, somewhat similar to a lacrosse or hockey stick, and rather than using a large, soccer-like ball, a hurling ball more closely resembles a small, hard baseball. The stick is used to catch, hurl and shoot the ball.
How to bet on GAA
To bet on GAA, head to the Betway Sports GAA page and browse which games are taking place. There will usually be a range of both hurling and football matches taking place throughout the season, with the option to bet on the result for each game. You can even combine your bets as a double, treble or accumulator to increase the odds and potential returns for winning. However, bigger potential returns come at a decreased probability of the desired outcome occurring. For example, you could place two separate “single” bets on Galway beating Mayo and Kerry beating Tyrone, or you could combine the markets as a “double” to get odds on both outcomes occurring.
What GAA Sports can you bet on?
At Betway, you can bet on Gaelic football and hurling, on both overall tournament winners and the results of single matches. We provide online betting markets for Allianz leagues across both sports, as well as the All-Ireland Senior Championships.
Some of the most popular counties to back in online GAA bets include Kerry, Dublin, Galway and Mayo. However, GAA fans don’t always want to back the favourites, and can find more generous odds betting on the underdog, especially in individual matches.
Most popular Gaelic sports to bet on with Betway
Hurling and football are the two most popular Gaelic sports to bet on. And within those two sports, All-Ireland Football markets and All-Ireland Hurling markets are most frequently used by online bettors. All-Ireland football bets are made not just by GAA fanatics but also by more casual followers of the sport, due to the mainstream appeal of the biggest occasion in the sport. Thanks to the history and heritage of All-Ireland football (the competition was first established over 100 years ago), this premier inter county competition is one of the most popular online sports betting events in Ireland.
All-Ireland online hurling betting is second only to All-Ireland football in terms of mass appeal. All-Ireland hurling betting was established two years prior to All-Ireland football in 1887, and the counties have competed for the Liam MacCarthy Cup ever since.
