CORAL BOOKMAKER REVIEW

Coral Sports was founded back in 1926 by a man named Joe Coral after he borrowed some money from friend and local shop owner. Joe Coral's friend, Tom Bradbury-Pratt, was very involved in dog racing and in turn became the perfect partner for Mr. Coral. When the legalization of betting shops happened in the UK in 1960, Coral immediately took advantage by opening up a few physical locations.

In the early 1980's Coral was acquired by a company named Bass. By the time it was bought in the early 80s, Coral was one of the largest bookmakers in the UK and even laid claim to a few racetracks, casinos, and hotels. Ownership of Coral has since changed hands a few times, but the brand has remained mostly the same. They have a respectable track record and are well-known both throughout the UK and the world.

ADVANTAGES OF USING CORAL

The safety and security you get when making use of Coral Sports as your bookmaker is unlike any other. They, as a company, handle millions of dollars' worth of transactions year in and year out and do so in more than 100 countries. After nearly 90 years of continuous business, it is safe to say that Coral is one of the most trustworthy UK online bookmakers in the industry.

Despite Coral Sports not having a live chat feature, their email and telephone service is fairly impressive. While no one anticipates having problems with their account, problems do happen and it is nice to know that Coral's competent customer service staff will be able to help you.

ODDS AND MARKETS

Coral does offer a wide variety of betting markets for sporting events around the world, even the most obscure sports and sporting events. While you can make bets on leagues as obscure as Italy's Serie A1 men's volleyball league, you can just as easily place wagers on the world's most prominent sporting events too. Having said this, however, it is painfully obvious that Coral primarily focuses on sporting events and horse racing in the UK.

The odds on Coral are most accurately defined as "middle of the road" as they do not necessarily impress punters but do not really disappoint either. The most important piece of information to know about Coral Sports' odds are that they are generally consistent, something that is indicative of an experienced and professional bookmaker.

SITE FEATURES

The general layout and feel of Coral's web site does not feature any revolutionarily unique features, but is fairly consistent with the dashboard-style sports betting homepage that you will find at most online bookmakers.

Live-streaming is definitely a feature that attracts bettors to Coral, but the selection of live-streamed events is limited to football and tennis matches only. The live-streaming feature is a perfect complement to the wide array of live-betting options offered by Coral. The site also offers live scores and statistics for sporting events of all types.

As you might have expected from a bookmaker as experienced as Coral, they offer a wide array of bonuses and free bets. They are always giving punters the ability to make the most of each and every wager and that is something that some people really enjoy and look for in an online bookmaker.

MOBILE BETTING

Another aspect of Coral's overall offering that really impressed me was their mobile application that is available to be downloaded on both iPhone and Android devices. If you do not own an Android or iPhone, Coral makes your life just simple with regard to mobile betting by allowing you to make use of their mobile-facing web site.

A minimum of 20 sports betting markets are offered at any given time on the mobile app, giving users a wide array of betting options. When it comes down to it, anything you are able to do when navigating their traditional online web site you are able to also do via the mobile application. Coral's app is without a doubt one of the most basic in the industry as far as interface and navigation are concerned, but that does not take away from how functional and reliable it is.

In conclusion, Coral Sports is a widely respected bookmaker that has been in business for nearly 90 years. They offer a wide variety of sports betting markets but more than anything focus on UK sporting events. Punters love the in-play betting feature, especially when coupled with Coral's live-streaming of tennis and football matches. Coral is a solid bookmaker that does not necessarily impress with flashy graphics or features but will most assuredly not let you down when it comes to betting options and general reliability.
