Paddy Power are offering a ridiculous money-back special on tonight’s massive England v USA World Cup game

If Wayne Rooney scores at any time, Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match

Paddy Power terms and conditions:

As I type this blogpost (at 12:45pm) Rooney is 7/2 to be first goalscorer with PaddyPower (with the safety net of their money-back special) .. so I might have a nibble and stick £100 on him FGS

I’ve looked around and compared the odds, and 7/2 is the best odds you can currently get (7/2 also being offered by Sky Bet, Blue Square, Stan James, 888 and Coral)… so I think this is a pretty decent free betting offer from Paddy Power.
