Star Sports Betting

There are markets for Football and Horse Racing, listed under ‘popular’, as well as a number of different sports with this bookmaker. You can also bet on American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Cricket, Darts, Gaelic Football, Gaelic Hurling, Golf, Greyhound Racing, Ice Hockey, Motor Sport, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker and Tennis. There is also a special section for  TV & Specials.

Football betting is fairly comprehensive on the site, with markets listed from so many countries around the world. You’ll find markets from high profile competitions such as the Premier League and La Liga, plus lesser known competitions such as the Icelandic Second Division. There’s also continental football such as the Champions League, plus international tournaments like the European Championships and World Cup. High profile competitions often have the most markets with more obscure leagues and cups sometimes limited to Match Odds only.

When clicking onto the Football page, events can be filtered by Competition, Time, Region or Country. This really helps you find a particular event. There is also a search function which you can use to find markets extremely quickly.

Horse racing with this bookie gives comprehensive coverage of all National Hunt, Flat and All-Weather racing from the UK and Ireland. There is very little international racing from around the globe at the moment but more may be added in time. There are also ante-post markets for future UK and Irish meetings, so you can place early bets on things like the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National.

Day of the race markets include fixed-odds win and each way bets, plus Starting Price (SP) betting, Forecasts and Reverse Forecasts. There are also sections named ‘Quick Pick’ and ‘Build a Racecard’.

The betting odds on the site are reasonable across the board. High-profile and televised events often offer the best value but in most cases you’ll find the prices to be in-line with the rest of the industry.
