Paddy Power takeover of Betfair – expect gubbage

  • officially happened today.

    This might be stating the obvious but if you are doing any of the PP offers, you need to avoid placing your lay bets with Betfair

  • New to matched betting?

    I thought it was still against data protection and all that crap regardless if they are now owned by the same people

    Ah well doesnt bother me was banned months ago, but I guess if you are the curious type then no harm using just smarkets..

    This explains today’s mass gubbage! Not just on this forum either, by the sounds of things. they must have gone through people’s accounts history.

    Only recently signed up to smarkets but it seems very limited in comparison?

    I don’t see scorer/FGS or anything for popular ACCAs which would rule out most of the reliable paddy offers anyway.

    Was there really a mass gubbing?

    I matched two offers with them last week via Betfair because I forgot about their merger and all my exchange cash was in Betfair but checked my account twice today and still no gubbing.

    smarkets is absolute horse shit. seems instead of backing and laying the price boots we’ll just have to back em with small stakes if they seem to offer value.

    Well like I said im already banned from paddy but still allowed to take up their price boots, and therefore I will continue to lay on betfair

    Anyone on here suffered a full gubbage? I rarely lay on an exchange.

    Yep, just been fully gubbed. A few weeks ago I was told I couldn’t do the bet 20 get 10 in play offer, and as of Monday can no longer take part in any promotion or enhanced price 🙁

    On second reading it doesnt specify anything about price boosts or enhanced odds, just all promotions, free bets and bonuses. I wonder if I will still be able to to the enhanced prices… will be delighted if so as thats what I mainly use paddy for!

    For me I still just cant do the bet 20 get 10. I don’t do the 2nd to SP offer and no other promos on Paddy lately so I have for the past month or so only been doing the power prices.

    I never lay my bets on betfair, but that’s probably coincidence.

    The chances are you’ll still be able to do their price boosts, as I have been doing them for months even though I was restricted last June

    Hi all, Apologies this is an old thread. I have just stupidly placed a qualifying matched bet on paddy power with betfair exchange. Is there anything I can do now it is placed and matched or do I just hope for the best I don’t get gubbed. It is for the £10 free sign up bet.

    Don’t worry about it just use another exchange next time you do promotions with them!!
