Key terms

  • Offer available to new and existing Paddy Power customers.

Free bet

It’s entirely up to you how you play this offer.

We could take a speculative approach and not lay our Bet Builder bet. If our free bet loses, we simply break even and there’s no harm done.

Our other option is to convert our free bet into cash by laying it at a betting exchange.

So, looking at the Bet Builder selections available, we could place our free bet on Chelsea win / Both teams to Score? – No at back odds of 6.87. The lay odds are currently 8.80.

We can calculate our lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator.
