What markets can you bet on with Paddy Power?

In terms of racing, there are the traditional outright winner and each way markets for every single race, as well as the option to bet on accumulators across any races.

However, Paddy Power offers much more than the basics. Not only can you bet on horses but you can bet on jockeys as well. If you fancy someone to win two races in a certain card for example, Paddy Power will offer you odds. The same applies for trainers if you are bowled over by the chances of Paul Nicholls or Aiden O’Brien one afternoon, for example.

There is also the ability to bet on the length of victory, particularly useful if you want to back an odds-on favourite but are not keen on the price available.

For football, all the major markets are covered such as outright tournament winners, match odds, and goalscorer odds. To spice things up though, you can bet on both teams to score, yellow card, and corners. You can even bet on the amount of shots on target in each half.

There are also #WhatOddsPaddy selections listed in individual matches, sorted into the length of odds. If you have a spare couple of quid lurking around in your account, you may be tempted by some of the creative 33/1+ selections that are listed. They usually combine odds from many different markets.

Safer gambling at Paddy Power

Gambling is one of the most popular pastimes in the world right now and can be a great source of entertainment both for the individual and in a social occasion too. However, it is always important for punters to maintain a level of control when staking money.

The mantra “when the fun stops, stop” really is vital. Gambling should never be undertaken in a period of stress or anger, and nor should it be regarded as a definitive source of income. Large amounts of money can be lost quickly and it is important that customers spend within their means and keep track of their profits and losses.

Paddy Power takes this incredibly seriously and in the top right-hand corner of the screen is a “Safer Gambling” tab which outlines all the dangers of gambling and ways to help against monetary losses.

Paddy Power customers can keep track of their activity by searching on their profile and there are tools in place upon signing up to stop you from overspending. There are deposit limits and loss limit functions which mean only certain amounts of money can be staked and lost. There is also a “Take A Break” function whereby the user can lock their account for between one and 30 days with no access available in that period. The “Self Exclusion” option blocks all access for up to six months.

There are also tips available on helping others who may have gambling problems. How to spot signs they are addicted for example. 

Gambling is never the answer to any social problems and it is vital to bet with care. Help is always available with Paddy Power should it be required.
