That's how Paddy rolls!

The Premier League returns this weekend with the battle between Southampton and Man City, the standout fixture of the weekend

Paddy loves a big game and because he's a little giddy, he's decided to give you a free football bet which you can claim at any Paddy Power shop.

You can redeem one €5 free bet on a betting machine in any Paddy Power shop.

If you are struggling don't worry as our friendly shop staff will be able to help

Your unique code will expire in seven days, so don't miss out, do it now.

Unique Code: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Enjoy!

I know it's not racing, but I got that in my mail today. I won't be around to use it, so someone here might as well have it. Whoever is the first regular contributor to reply to this can have it. Please only ask if you're definitely going to use it.

just be aware those machines are run by some 3rd party, and the odds (especially footie) are vastly inferior to Paddy's own prices.

Which firm is running the current offer? Powers?

I'd be shocked if it was Boyles or Lads. They never seem to do promotions.

Cheers. Probably part of the original offer that FrancieBarret donated to me in November as opposed to a new offer this week.

Unfortunately, my losing streak of football bets continued. Was hoping for a nice win and a share for the OP.

I've never used one but everytime I go into a betting shop I see a row of lads enthralled in them. Like the FOB machines in the UK but much less dangerous.

I suppose a free tenner at 8-1 is better than a real one at 10-1

I got one the last time but know this time, and other lads who got nothing last time got this one.

Don't think they are related, just random selections.

Likewise, always a heap of lads around them.

Boyles were 3points worse of on a 5 team acccum on the machine compared to in-store odds.

Some lads don't think by, and they would give out if a shop charged 20c more for a bottle mineral compared to the shop down the road.

I would have naively assumed that the machine in the shop was offering the same odds as the coupon in the shop!

These shops can't wait to go full on on the FOTBs.

Some of the differences are big. I wrote down 5/6 on the docket for a team, and was going through the machine to see what else was on and saw the team I had priced @ 4/6, went back over to the in-store computer to make sure I had the correct odds and I did.

If I know a lad on the machine, I'd just tell him of the difference and most times the reply is "ah sure this only a 10er accum, doesn't bother me"

Laziness to get the odds off the coupons or the site also.
