Gaelic Football Odds & Betting Markets

Gaelic football, which can also be referred to as Gaelic, GAA or, if you’re in Ireland, football, is a team sport that originates from the Emerald Isle. It is just another version of football in many respects, with two teams of fifteen players battling it out on the grass. The team at the end of a match with the most points is the winner, and points are achieved by kicking or punching the ball into the goal, which is worth three points. The ball being kicked or punched between the two posts above the goal is worth two points, and above the ground is worth a point. 

Gaelic football has been around for close to 140 years after being founded in Ireland. It’s part of what are known as Gaelic Games and said Gaelic Games are controlled by the Gaelic Athletic Association or GAA. Since its inception in Ireland, Gaelic football has developed popularity in Great Britain, Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. 

Gaelic football is popular to play and to watch. But it’s also a popular sport to bet on, with markets available at sports betting sites. 

All Ireland Football Championship Outright Betting 

As far as Gaelic football goes, things don’t come much bigger or more prestigious than winning the All-Ireland Football Championship. The winner of the competition is declared the All Ireland Champions. Thirty-three teams initially compete in the All Ireland Football Championship, and selecting who the outright winner of the competition will be is available to bet on. Of course, because of the number of teams involved, it can be a challenge to do so, but it’s a popular market all the same. 

Gaelic Football Match Betting 

Using the All Ireland Football Championship as an example, instead of just placing bets on who the outright winner of the whole thing will be, it’s also possible to bet match by match too. When you consider that thirty-three teams initially enter, with a sixteen-team group stage to follow, there are a lot of matches to be played along the way of this one competition in the sport alone. Match betting also allows punters to take into account what has gone before, especially in the group stage. So, form, injuries, and all of these factors can be considered before placing a bet on a team to win a match. 

Gaelic Football Live Betting 

Live betting, or in-play betting as some call it, has arrived in Gaelic football. In short, this means that while the action unfolds live in a match, bets can be placed. It's an advantage to those who are watching live or reading the stats of what is playing out, as wagers can be struck based on this. Gaelic football live betting is available to access for major competitions such as the All Ireland Football Championship. Punters will also be able to explore different Gaelic football markets to bet in-play rather than just selecting the winner too. 

Sports Betting 

There’s a wide range of sports to bet on at BetVictor. Basketball odds, cricket odds, hockey odds and tennis odds, which are traditional offerings on sports betting sites, are available to explore. You will also find betting for other types of sports, including new and upcoming markets, with eSports odds an excellent example of this.
