BoyleSports pays out early on Ireland winning the Six Nations Championship

Although there are still two rounds of the Six Nations Championship left to play, betting giants BoyleSports have decided to pay out early on Ireland becoming the first team to win the tournament; in its current guise, three times in a row.

It is set to be a nervous weekend for the Irish supporters as they take on France, in Dublin, in what is arguably the decider to determine who takes the prestigious trophy this year.

Three points is all that separates the two rivals at the top of the table and a win for the French would see them leapfrog Ireland heading into the final round of fixtures.

Thanks to BoyleSport, however, all those who have backed Ireland to go all the way in the 2025 Six Nations have been spared a nail biting weekend as the bookmaker clearly feels no other team will claim the title.

Known as the ‘home of the early payout’, Sharon McHugh, a spokesperson for the company, said: “Irish rugby fans will be biting their nails this weekend but as home of the early payout, we’re happy to spare those who had a punt with us the sweat. Hopefully, we won’t be left feeling ‘les bleus’ by deciding that Ireland are over the line already!”

This early payout will apply to all bets and stakes placed on Ireland winning the championship prior to 10am on 6 March.

While Ireland are seen as the favourites, especially according to BoyleSports, France and even England still have a shot of snatching the title away from them.

England play Italy and Wales in their remaining two fixtures, arguably the two weakest teams in the competition, while France take on the Irish this weekend as mentioned, before hosting Scotland in Paris on the final weekend.

All eyes will be on the Ireland vs France clash this weekend. If the home side wins while scoring a bonus point, combined with England suffering defeat at the hands of the Italians, then they will claim the Six Nations title.

Rather than relying on results going their way elsewhere, Simon Easterby will know that wins over France and Italy will secure a Grand Slam and third consecutive title.

BoyleSports’ early payout promotion has given many punters plenty to cheer about this season, especially in football.

If a team that has been backed goes two goals ahead in their match, the bookmaker will pay that out as a winner, even if they somehow go on to lose the game.

A record-breaking payout of €51,500 (£43,300) to one lucky person in Dublin occurred earlier this season. A 10-leg accumulator chosen by the person featured a team that went on to lose their match, but thanks to BoyleSports’ early payout scheme, they were still able to collect their five-figure reward.

If Ireland win against France, those who backed them to win the title with the bookmaker will enjoy double the celebrations.
