Odds and Payout
BoyleSports priced all 18 Champions League fixtures on 3 and 4 November and its match result payout came out at 92.5%, a 7.5% margin, bottom of the fifteen bookmakers we measured, with a wide range from 90.7% to 94.8% and both teams to score at 91.9%. On that figure it scores 7 out of 10 for odds. The headline prices tell a different story: in the four-selection odds test on the same fixtures BoyleSports scored 98.2% against the best prices, fourth of thirteen, matching the best Manchester United price at 23/20 and Bayern Munich at 11/8.

Our Verdict on BoyleSports
BoyleSports scores 6.2 out of 10. The cashier is the best we have scored at 9, with nine methods, a £5 minimum and three-day withdrawals, and the 30-day window makes the £40 offer easy to claim. Football markets run deep with a bet builder. The apps are ordinary at 3.7 and 4.0, and the 92.5% payout is the lowest of the fifteen bookmakers we measured, even though its prices on the biggest matches were close to the best.
