Paddy Power is Ireland’s largest bookmaker and one of the UK’s fastest growing bookies since launching online services in 2000. You can always rely on Paddy for some entertainment along with your betting and we enjoy a stab at some of Paddy’s Cash Backs.

Here’s PaddyPower’s latest cash back offer – there are usually a couple on site at all times.

OK, so that might sound a longshot for Baptista, but actually these fun little insurance policies pay out more often than you’d think (well, than I thought they would anyway!).

Well here’s a quick summary of the cash back offers that have cost Paddy a bob or two in the last six months.

46 horse racing cash back offers have paid out with offers like “Our Necks on the Line” where if your horse finishes second beaten by up to and including a neck in a specific race Paddy’ll refund your losing stake.

Just one greyhound cash back has come in in the last six months (where your dog failed to win but finished in the same place as it’s Trap number – top job Debbie’s Choice!).

While the only successful rugby cashback was on the England v All Blacks on Novemer 5, 2006 as Shaun Perry had to score a try on his debut. Well done Shaun!.

Five football bets have paid out in the last 6 months – they’re listed below:

(1) Christmas Cracker! Wigan v Chelsea 23 Dec, 2006 There were 5 or more goals in the match.

(2) Seventh Heaven! Rangers v Celtic 17 Dec, 2006 The last goal in this match was scored by a player wearing the number 7 shirt

(3) Booker Prize – Chelsea v Arsenal 10 Dec, 2006 Former Arsenal hero Ashley Cole received the first booking or the last booking of this match

(4) The Late, Late Show! 1st Weekend of the Premiership Paddy Power offered to refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast bets on any of that weekend’s Premiership matches if there was a goal scored in injury time at the end of either half of that match. – He refunded on West Ham v Charlton

(5) Boxing Clever! Celtic v Everton 24 Jul, 2006 The last goal was scored from outside the penalty area and so Paddy paid out again.
