Royal Ascot begins today, and to celebrate Paddy Power is offering sports betting enthusiasts a couple of great betting specials. Knowing Paddy Power, we can probably expect more promotions to follow as the week progresses, but right now there is plenty to get stuck into.
First we have a Second Chance promotion in the 4:55 race on Tuesday 16 June and the deal here is that if your horse finishes in second place, you’ll get your losing single stake refunded. That means if you bet £50 on a selection and it gets beaten into second place, you get your £50 back.
The maximum refund you can get from this Second Chance promotion is £200 or €300, depending on the currency you normally bet in, so bear that in mind if you’re a heavy hitter who intends to bet more than that. An extra bit of good news is that if you place an each way single bet on the selection that finishes in second place, the win part of the each way bet will be refunded, leaving the place part to generate you a nice profit!
The other big Royal Ascot betting special from Paddy Power is an Extra Place Value deal on the 4:20 race on Wednesday 17 June. This pays five places instead of the usual four, so if you back a horse each way and your selections finishes in fifth place, you’ll still be paid for the place! And of course, if the horse actually wins you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank!
These Royal Ascot betting specials are a great reason to take a look at Paddy Power horse racing markets, and with some exceptional racing action taking place at the Royal Ascot festival right up to the weekend, racing fans are guaranteed to have an enjoyable few days. Add in the fact that Paddy Power offers Guaranteed Prices on all races and allows you to watch the racing live on your PC and paying Ireland's most famous online sportsbook a visit could pay big dividends!
If you’re having a Royal Ascot bet or two this week, we wish you the best of luck. And if you’re visit the Ascot racecourse, don’t forget to dress for the occasion and take some sunscreen with you – it could be a scorcher!
