Paddy Power Announce Biggest Special Ever

In an act of apparent madness Ireland´s largest bookmaker, Paddy Power have announced details of their Money-Back Special for Gold Cup Day at Cheltenham tomorrow.

The Bookmaker has agreed to refund all losing bets on any horse that finishes second to a favourite at Cheltenham tomorrow.* This offer runs across EVERY RACE at Cheltenham tomorrow. This is the biggest, and potentially most costly, concession ever offered by an Irish Bookie.

Paddy Power, Head of Communications for Paddy Power said 'Clearly punters have had a tough time of it, so we feel obliged to ease their pain. That said, we could end up with one hell of a bloody nose tomorrow afternoon should all the favourites oblige. Potentially this could mean a seven-figure payday for Paddy Power punters, now that´s a nice start to St Patrick´s weekend! Some of our competitors pledge this kind of cash to wealthy racehorse owners as bonuses, we prefer to share it among our customers'

One single example of the generosity of this offer can be demonstrated with the Gold Cup tomorrow. Should Kauto Star, the strong 6/4 favourite, win the Gold Cup as expected we´ll be refunding on the second placed horse. Quite simply there is a 6/4 chance that we´ll be refunding bets in the biggest race if the year!

In parallel with their Money-Back Special on all races they are also offering an EXTRA PLACE in the Cheltenham County Hurdle (Live on RTE/RUK, E/W Odds ? places 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
