Paddy Power Best Odds Guaranteed Offer Explained for UK & Irish Racing

Paddy Power Promotion

Paddy Power’s Best Odds Guaranteed offer applies to UK and Irish horse racing, giving eligible customers the bigger of the price they took or the Starting Price if their selection wins. It is available from 8am on the day of the race, but only after you have opted in through the Paddy Power promotions page and the concession becomes active from 8am the following day.

Offer Overview

This promotion covers all UK and Irish horse racing from 8am on race day. If you back a horse and it wins, Paddy Power will compare the odds you took with the SP. If the SP is bigger, the bet is settled at the bigger price. If the SP is shorter, you keep the original price you took.

The offer applies to singles and multiples on win and each-way markets only.

How It Works

First, you need to opt in on the Paddy Power promotions page. The source makes clear that opting in does not switch the offer on immediately. Instead, it applies from 8am on the following day.

To qualify, the bet must be placed:

• on a win or each-way market
• on a UK or Irish horse race
• after 8am on the day of the race
• before the race starts

Once the bet is placed, Paddy Power indicates in open bets whether it has qualified for Best Odds Guaranteed. After settlement, that status remains visible in settled bets, whether the bet won, lost or was cashed out.

Key Terms to Know

There are several important exclusions. Best Odds Guaranteed does not apply to:

• ante-post bets
• in-running bets
• combined horse bets
• forecast, place only, betting without and money back bets
• Power Price selections
• international racing
• bets placed before 8am on race day
• customers with a registered address outside the UK or Ireland
• bets using a Power Up
• bets placed with a free bet or partial free bet
• bets placed with a Money Back Token

Paddy Power also states that the maximum payment under this concession is £1,000 per customer per day.

The source also says Paddy Power may exclude selected customers from promotions, including Best Odds Guaranteed, for commercial reasons.

Who This Promotion Suits

This offer is most relevant for horse racing customers who place standard win or each-way bets on UK and Irish meetings on the day of the race. It may be useful for punters who want some protection if the SP drifts after they have already taken an earlier price.

It is less suitable if you mainly bet ante-post, use free bets, focus on international racing or place markets that sit outside standard win and each-way betting.

Final Word

Paddy Power Best Odds Guaranteed is a straightforward racing concession, but the opt-in timing matters. You need to register through the promotions page, and the offer only starts from 8am the next day. For eligible UK and Irish horse racing bets, it gives you the better of your taken price or SP on winning selections, with a clear list of exclusions and a daily maximum payout cap.
