Carling Cup Paddy Power Bookies Specials

February 27, 2009 by Ben Filed under: Football

Those crazy Irish Bookmakers have a range of special bets on this Sundays Cup final. Can’t really see anything more than a Manchester United victory. Even my Spurs fan friend says Man U are going to win this. Says its the worst Spurs team he’s ever seen. Plus a lot of the side are cup tied. Harry is going to struggle to put out a strong team. On the other hand, Ferguson has the option of leaving his big guns on the bench and still have a strong side. 1.73 for the Manchester United win at Paddypower is the bet to have

Having already paid out on Manchester United as winner’s of this season’s three domestic trophies, Sunday’s Carling Cup final will be the first opportunity to see if Paddy Power is going to end up with egg on their face.

In the meantime Paddy Power have launched a number of new and exclusive betting markets for the first meaningful silverware of the year.

Sing When You’re Winning?

In a world first, Carling has teamed up with Sky Sports to track the highs and lows from the stands to see which set of fans truly are the loudest. Using live sound level readings from both ends of Wembley Carling’s Sound Clash will record whose fans are loudest throughout the game as well as at crucial times in the match.

Paddy Power have linked up exclusively with cup sponsors Carling to offer betting on which set of fans are the loudest. Spurs fans, less used to Cup Finals and trophies than their counterparts, are the 4/5 favourites.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “This is the perhaps the first time that fans can truly have a direct influence on the result of a bet. So if they want to win a wager on themselves then all they have to do is sing up! It might be the only market in the match that Spurs are favourites to win.”

Bare Bones Betting

Another new betting market sees a twist on Paddy Power’s famous Commentary Cliches – Harry Redknapp’s Bare Bones Betting! With “bare bones” at 50/1 Paddy Power are betting on what Harry Redknapp says first in his post match Sky Sports interview.

Other specials include Man of the Match, first to foul Berbatov and how many of the winning team go up to collect their medals wearing club scarves.

PADDY POWER MONEY-BACK SPECIAL
