Being an Irish bookmaker, sports like football, horse racing and the Gaelic Sports can be found with ease at Paddy Power, but they also offer some of the best specials and novelty markets. There are a plethora of sports available to bet on at Paddy Power and the number of betting markets available for each sport is excellent.
Football betting
We really can’t say that Paddy Power has missed something on their offer when it comes to football betting. Paddy covers over 70 football leagues across the world and the amount of betting markets available sits around 150+.
The football section is rich as we mentioned above and it’s also very easy to navigate through. The most popular fixtures of the day can be found on the main page of the football section, but you can also navigate between In-Play, Today, Coupons, Tournaments, Specials, Outrights or Virtuals. The “Specials” section is a page where you will find all the Power Prices of the day, which are usually enhanced odds or requested bets. Paddy Power customers can also enjoy the ‘Beat The Drop’ competition and some useful betting tools like ‘Football Stats’ and the ‘Bet Calculator’. PaddyPower’s Football Stats is pretty amazing as you can choose a game from the menu and you will see some excellent stats such as Match Facts, League Form, Head 2 Head, Winning / Losing Margin or Average Statistics.
The addition of the ‘Early Payout’ is one of the best things ever, as Paddy Power now pays out if your team goes 2 up (this is only available for pre-match bets on the win-draw-win market).
Horse racing
Horse racing gets a lot of attention at Paddy Power and you can see that at first glance as right on the main page you can find the cards for the next horse races. For a full schedule, you can access the Horse Racing section from the left-hand side of the main page, where you will see all the current and upcoming meetings. In addition, there are stats on trainers and jockeys from Racing Post, which can help you decide before placing your bet.
In terms of coverage, all Ireland and UK horse and greyhound racing are available with Paddy Power, but there is also a wide variety of International horse races from Australia, US, India and even South Africa or Chile. Both domestic and international races can be watched in real-time through a great selection of live streaming services. Horse Racing commentaries can be found on the left-hand side of the page on the Quick Links section along with some other useful tools such as Horse Racing Results, Bet Calculator, etc.
As for the horse racing betting markets available at Paddy Power, users can wager on the Winner market, Each Way, Place, Forecast & Tricast, Betting W/O, etc. Insurebet is also available for 2 or 3 places.
Finally, Paddy Power really becomes very popular when it comes to big horse racing events like the Grand National and Cheltenham when they offer loads of Power Prices, Enhanced Odds and special offers.
