Multiples only, it seems? Unless I'm reading it incorrectly:

[li]"Bet must have a minimum of three legs at combined minimum odds of evens (2.0) or greater (accumulator)."[/li]

I don't think this will cost PP a fortune.

Not sure this is a bargain alert as it'll cost most people more money in the long run!

If you were going to do a 5euro treble anyway it would save you money.

create account for 888 sports and get 5$ free on any bet with t&cS to be fair there's dozen sites that offer some sort of free bet,game play.Thus long-term house wins,that said might as well move it to gambling section not much bargain for most.

Be careful if depositjng via a credit card.

As far as I know when you deposit money from a credit card to a paddy power account its counted as a cash withdrawal and associated fees are charged(and interest kicks in immediately (no 30day window)). This happened me with MBNA several years ago

This is just a one-off purchase of a voucher from living social, no association with the actual paddy power website

It's a €5 bet for the price of €1, it might be gambling but it's still a bargain. Sure, many places offer free bets etc. some of which have annoying conditions and all of which require you to open an account and input all your details. This is just buying a voucher and bringing it to the bookies.

The only condition here is that you have to bet on a treble or accumulator which will make it difficult to win. Still a bargain as you are getting 80% better value on the price the bookie offers essentially.

I wonder if the €5 stake is counted as a freebet and you only get the winnings? For example bet the €5 at 2/1 and get €10 back instead of €15. Either way still a good deal.

Great caveat as it happened to me before too. Same with lottery.ie

€1 (Free €5) bet place at the min odds required will return €40.

The €1 placed at normal odds returns €8.

The bookies always have an edge this will be around 5% so no matter what way you look at this it is +expected value.

Combined min odds of evens = returns a 10r not 40

No, you're wrong.

"Bet must have a minimum of three legs at combined minimum odds of evens (2.0) or greater"

It doesn't imply that each leg must have minimum odds of evens, just that the accumulative odds come to evens or greater. For example, a person could choose three selections with odds of 1/8, 1/3 and 1/3 and that would be fine for this offer.

How do you use this? Got a code with a +sign in it which seems incompatible with the machines keyboard. Do you have to present voucher to the staff? If you do I'll probably get a refund as I couldn't be bothered printing and bringing a voucher to the cashiers for the sake of such a small sum.

Yeh present voucher to them. Assume they'll accept viewing it on smartphone as they'll just key in whatever code is on the voucher. They'll give you a voucher then which scans in the betting machine.

You can just type the code into a machine in one of the shops, at the top press "free bet" and it let's you input the code
