 On opening the Paddy Power sports book, one is immediately struck by the number of options and features the site has. A quick glance through confirms that first impression.
There is a broad array of betting options, ranging from the ordinary to novelty betting.
The games are not organized into categories, but are listed out in a side panel. Every imaginable sporting activity is covered, right from English sports, to ones across the Atlantic and even some for the land Down Under.
A large portion of the site is dedicated to money back specials and a free bet. This rather broad umbrella category covers a host of offers that actually refund stakes on losing bets, subject to certain conditions of course. But the facility is still there, giving it a great edge over other sites.
There are two kinds that catch the interest, one is the paid-out specials and the other is the bonuses that the site offers. Most of these specials are centric to horse racing or greyhound racing.
The paid-out specials are the money back offers that the site has given to lucky losers. The site refunds the single stake of the person whose horse finished second in a race, with ‘Don’t Settle for Second Best’, and many more similar specials besides.
The bonuses have even more great offers with offers of 25% bonuses on 6 winners, and so on. There is also Double Result, where if the user has bet on a horse that was first past the post, but that horse later gets disqualified he still wins. That essentially means that they announce two winners for that particular race which is a very unique feature!
When opening an account, the minimum deposit is of 10 GBP. The user has the option of transacting in pounds sterling or in euros. The standard rules of betting apply to this site as well. There is a certain sense of security associated with the site, as it is owned and managed by one the biggest Irish betting companies, Paddy Power.
There is the option of betting online or over the phone, using Dial-a-bet, allowing users to stay in constant touch with their accounts |
