As we reported on freebettingoffers.co.uk yesterday, Paddy Power had one of their famous money-back specials on the Champions League Final 2008 last night.
Paddy Power promised to refund all losing bets if Ronaldo scored during the 90 minutes (bets covered included first goalscorer, last goalscorer, anytime scorer, correct score, HT/FT and win-draw-win markets, placed before kick-off). As you’ll know by now, Ronaldo scored a magnificent header in the 26th minute to put Man Utd 1-0 up in the game - and despite missing his penalty in the shoot-out, still helped his team lift the trophy
Paddy Power are therefore refunding punters an astonishing €1.5m Euros (equivalent to approx £1.2m pounds). Here’s how their website looked this morning:
