What are the best betting apps for horse racing in the United Kingdom and Ireland?

Hi Guys

Can anyone recommend a horse racing apps for betting on races in the United Kingdom and Ireland? Is there any difference between Paddy Power, William Hill or Bet365?

Cheers

Hey Liz

My vote goes to the Paddy Power horse racing apps because they offer the same money back specials and extra place specials that they offer on their website. These kind of offers are particularly good during big racing festivals like Cheltenham, Aintree or Royal Ascot.

For instance, during the Cheltenham Festival Paddy Power were offering a Money-back special on Sprinter Sacre. When Sprinter Sacre won Paddy Power they gave back money on all losers on the race.

I tend to do most of my horse race betting from The Racing Post app. In my opinion The Racing Post app is the best racing app out there and a must have for any racing fan. Besides racing new and racecards, the free app also provides racing data and tips which I find really useful when I'm about to take a punt.

To place a bet from The Racing Post app you will need to open an account with William Hill. They are the mobile bookmakers they've integrated into their racing app.

 

Anyone else use the NagMe Sports Alert Service app? This free app allows you to search by horse, jockey, trainer, owner or all. Once you've found the horse you're looking for, you just select the "NagMe" button and the next time it is running the app will send you an alert. Besides alerts the app also gives racing results, racecards and form guides. NagMe covers every horse race in the UK, Ireland and South Africa.

 

The William Hill app offers some pretty good offers that are available only to their mobile customers. For instance if your horse wins by a large margin they'll give you an additional bonus.

 

For odds comparisons I use the oddschecker apps. It's free and it compares the odds of about 40 bookmakers. It can make the difference between a win and a BIG win

 

Well if you are a betfair user, then for sure you must try hrfever. It gives you a visual representation of the race based on the odds variation and on the money at stake and gives you suggestions to bet on the "winner" or in the "to be placed" markets. It also allows you a one touch betting that guarantees the best odd available on the market in the time of your bet.

 

I've always been a fan of the Bet365 app for both sports betting and horse racing but not that Paddy Power have started streaming live horse racing from Dubai, South America and South Africa I find myself using their iPhone app more and more.

 

I find myself using the Racing Post app quiet a lot now because if you have a william hill account you can bet from inside the app. Why use 2 apps when you can just use one to get all your news, tips and commentary as well.

 

for betting tips i use either the racing post or racing uk apps for iOS. both have decent tipping sections that are written by jockeys or their in-house racing journalists. they're free to download too from the app store.

 

it's a shame they haven't added the racetrack weather guide to their iphone app also. i don't own an ipad but i have an iphone 5s so it would be pretty useful if i was able to check the going on my phone before i place a bet.

 

Which apps will you be using for the Aintree Grand Nation 2015 next week?

 

Bet365 is my favourite racing bookmaker because you can watch the entire archive of Racing UK and At The Races horse races from their website for free. Anytime I'm thinking of taking a punt on a particular horse I watch its previous races first on their website.
