Online betting site Boylesports saw a a major windfall land on the lap one of their very own employees. This was because the Irish Lottery was won by Carol Loran from Mulligar, landing a massive €10.5million prize, to become Ireland’s newest multi-millionaire. Loran has been an employee of Boylesports for many years.
Creator of the multi-billioni Euro a year bookamker business, John Boyle, is no stranger to big sums of money and can probably relate to the windfall of riches that has come to one of his employees, yet is hoping to retain her services.
Boyle said: ‘I’m delighted to hear about Carol’s win and would like to express my congratulations on behalf of the entire company. Having seen the excellent job she has done at Boylesports, we’d love to see her stay on but something tells me that she may have other plans!”
There is something of a feel good factor about Loran’s story as she started working for Boylesports as a cleaner, but then worked her way up and got promoted to a shop cashier position. Now, instead of handing over cash to punters, it has all come back to her in a massive payout. She was celebrating her windfall with partner Kevin Geoghan.
Geoghegan began a relationship with Ms Loran just a few weeks ago, but admitted he had asked her out on a number of occasions while visiting Boylesports. “I was working last night and I just came home from work and Carol my lady friend rang me and told me. I didn’t believe her at first, I thought she was messing,” Mr Geoghegan remarked.
Loran, mother of five, said that she would play the Irish Lottery, “maybe once twice a year, I played because Kevin gave me the €2 to halves on the quick pick.”
As the magnitude of the win dawned on the pair, Boylesports worker Carol said she was unsure of exactly how to spend the money, “I’ve no plans, I’ll let it all sink in first,” she remarked.
Loran joins One Direction’s Niall Horan and Michael O’Leary on the Mulligar Rich List.

The Continental Champions from around the world will all be heading to Brazil to contest the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in June. That means that there should be some highly quality action for international football betting heading your way, to fill the void before the next domestic season kicks off. The tournaments runs over two weeks from June 15th to the 30th and it is Brazil who are the defending Champions.
The Brazilians are the most successful side in the competition as it heads to its ninth edition, the Selecao having won it three times before. Spain, Uruguay and Italy could be become just the third team (after Argentina and France) to have captured FIFA’s big three tournaments, the World Cup, Confederations Cup and the Olympic Gold.
You can get a free £20 bet for your 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup betting with online bookmaker Boylesports. Register an account with the bookie and they will match the value of your first stake with a free bet.
Confederations Cup Nations
The Confederations Cup will see eight nations go head to head for the title, starting with a group stage before the knockouts. Brazil get their place at the tournament because they are the 2014 FIFA World Cup hosts, and they will be joined by Spain (the current World Cup holders), Japan (Asian Cup winners), Mexico (CONCACAF Gold Cup winners), Uruguay (Copa America holders), Tahiti (OFC Nations Cup winners), Nigeria (ACON winners) and joined by Italy who take part because of finishing runners up at Euro 2012. The winners of the European Championship and the World Cup both get spots at the Confederation Cup, but both titles are held by Spain, offering up a spot for Italy.
Confederations Cup Group Stage Betting
The initial stage is split into two groups of four, with Brazil, Japan, Mexico and Italy going in Group A, and Spain, Uruguay, Tahiti and Nigeria squaring up in Group B. The top two from each go forward to the semi final knockouts. Brazil have been trading as strong odds on favourites to win Group A at a price of 4/7 with Boylesports, ahead of Italy at 11/4. In Group B, there is little surprise that the Spaniards are taking full supremacy there at odds of 4/9 ahead of Uruguay at 11/4 in 2013 Confederations Cup Betting.
Confederations Cup Outright Winner Betting Odds at online bookmaker Boylesports
Brazil 11/8, Spain 13/8, Italy 7/1, Uruguay 10/1, Mexico 12/1, Nigeria 25/1, japan 33/1, Tahiti 1500/1
Confederations Cup Betting Tip
Ahead of next summer’s World Cup, Brazil really have to come out and prove themselves. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has a big task on his hands because Brazil haven’t re-discovered that winning touch. They have been muddling through games a little bit, including the recent home draw against England in an international friendly, perhaps a lack of competitive action hurting them. Still, this is in their own back yard and they are worth a punt. But perhaps it is Spain who are actually making better value for things, as more pressure will be on Brazil and Spain have something that the Selecao don’t at the moment, a winning mentality. The Spaniards are still as strong as ever and will dominate games.
Sadly Uruguay seem to be in a bit of decline at the moment after winning the Copa America in 2011. They are far short of their best despite some great talent. Italy meanwhile have the ability to frustrate and grind their way through competitions. The Azzurri are perhaps a little unpredictable, and will go as underdogs against Brazil and Spain, but they have some great experience in their squad and could be the dark horse pick of the tournament.

The opening day of the 2013 Cheltenham Festival didn’t fail to live up to expectations, particularly in the feature race of the day, the Champion Hurdle, which was won by Hurricane Fly. Ridden by Ruby Walsh, Hurricane Fly became the first horse in 38 years to regain the Champion Hurdle title at Cheltenham. Hurricane Fly came home two and a half lengths ahead of last year’s winner Rock On Ruby in the Championship race, and really sets the tone and excitement for the other three days of the 2013 Cheltenham Festival.
Online bookmaker Boylesports have a superb promotion running for all races at Cheltenham this year.
Make a selection on a race and if your horse is second, beaten by up to half a length, then the popular bookie will refund your lost stake on the race. So if you suffer a narrow defeat on your selection in any of the remaining races at the 2013 Cheltenham Festival, then you will at least be compensated.
It was coverage that Boylesports punters took advantage of on the opening day of the 2013 Cheltenham Festival. My Tent Or Yours was beaten into second in the opening Supreme Novices Hurdle by Champagne Fever, who took the win by 1/2 length.

So Boylesports ending up paying back around a six figure number on refunds because of their great Cheltenham Money Back Special as lightning struck twice.

It is the Easter fixture list for Premier League betting and it is a busy one. The First Goalscorer markets will be attracting a lot of betting attention this weekend, as the big matches come thick and fast. Fortunately, online bookmaker Boylesports are offering a lot of insurance on the popular First Goalscorer betting markets for selected games.
Saturday, April 7th
Sunderland v Spurs, Liverpool v Aston Villa and Stoke v Wolves are the Premier League matches being covered by the Boylesports First Goalscorer Cash-back promotion on Saturday. The big focus here will be on Harry Redknapp’s men, as they continue to duke it out with North London rivals Arsenal for a third place finish in the league. Spurs will be looking to Emmanuel Adebayor, who netted a brace last week to keep up their challenge, while Liverpool will just be hoping that any of their strikers get on the score sheet to end their terrible league slump. Luis Suarez looks the most likely to deliver for the Reds in the First Goalscorer market.
Sunday, April 8th
Manchester United v QPR and Arsenal v Manchester City sees a big double header for the Manchester clubs in the title race. A lot can be decided here on Sunday, where United have the chance to potentially open up what would probably be an unassailable eight points lead, if the Citizens lose away at Arsenal. Wayne Rooney is favourite to net first at Old Trafford, while Robin van Persie and the fit again Sergio Aguero look ready to duel for opening honours in the First Goalscorer market.
Monday, April 9th
The matches come thick and fast, with a London derby on Monday in the Premier League, as Chelsea head to Craven Cottage to face Fulham as they try to keep themselves in the race for fourth spot. Chelsea’s strikers haven’t been performing well this season, but Fernando Torres, Didier Drogba and Daniel Sturridge, they still have plenty of options. Or will Clint Dempsey fire Fulham to a win which will hurt the Blues’ Champions League ambitions for next season?
Do your First Goalscorer football betting on these matches at Boylesports, and take the good coverage which the promotion provides. Back a First Goalscorer selection, and if that backed player scores second in the match after failing to open the scoring, then you will get your lost First Goalscorer stake refunded.

Online bookmaker Boylesports are offering extra places for Day Three of the 2012 Cheltenham Festival on Thursday. After the carnage and surprise of Wednesday’s Queen Mother Champion Chase, which was won by British interest Finian’s Rainbow, attention turns to Big Buck’s as he goes for his fourth World Hurdle in a row. Big Buck’s is one of the star attractions of the 2012 Cheltenham Festival. Can anyone stoke Big Buck’s in his formidable reign? Oscar Whisky and Thousand Stars are in the field, but does anyone have the extra special edge which will be needed to take down Big Buck’s? Big Buck’s has made this race his own and he is not going to go down without a fight, and he looks like one of Thursday’s bankers.
Boylesports are providing more great horse racing betting coverage from the Cheltenham Festival offering extra places on two of Thursday’s races. First of all the bookie is paying out to 5 Places in the Pertemps Final and then five places as well in the Kim Muir Challenge Cup.

Riverside Theatre is just about holding ground as favourite to take the race, but this is a very evenly matched race in prospect, with half a dozen more horses all in excellent, Chase winning form. Somsersby, Rubi Light and defending Champion Albertas Run are all in co
It will be worth keeping an eye on the Jewson Novices on Thursday as well, because the Boylesports.com Novice Chase winner Sir Des Champs goes for the big double. If Willie Mullin’s charge does the business again, then Boylesports are going to be paying out an extra £50,000 bonus to Sir Des Champs if he lands the win at Cheltenham on Thursday, because the bookie promised the prize money to any horse which could do the Novice Chase and Jewson Novices double.
