Paddy Power take on big guns in day one offer

BY RACINGPOST.COM STAFF 5:46PM 23 FEB 2015

PADDY POWER have taken their traditional Cheltenham Festival day one offer even further this year by offering money back on all losing bets if either short-priced favourites Douvan or Un De Sceaux win their respective races.

Douvan is currently the firm's 7-4 favourite for the opening Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle, while stablemate Un De Sceaux is 4-7 for the Racing Post-sponsored Arkle. The firm are offering money back as a free bet on all bets up to £50/€50 per customer per race.

Paddy Power said: "The Tuesday of the festival is already the scariest day for us with Willie-mageddon on the cards and these unbelievable offers just make it a little bit worse."

Ruby Walsh, rider of both hotpots said: "They're both rock solid and two of my best for the week, maybe they're trying to put people off backing but I wouldn't put you off, and if I was a bookie there's not a sniff I'd be taking them on like this. Paddy must hate money - I hope he's cleaned out!"

Should either or both of the offers come in, it will complete a bookie-bashing four-in-a-row. Last year Paddy Power refunded losing bets on the second, third and fourth placed horses in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, in 2013 they offered money back all losers if Hurricane Fly won the Champion Hurdle and in 2012 offered the same when Sprinter Sacre won the Arkle.
 
Money back as free bet rather than cash this year. Are they also NRNB in the morning ?
 
Maybe they know something we don't know and its better for them to give money back rather than keep taking money for those favourites?

I have always said Faugheen won't lose and by the naked eye UDS looks the same way. I don't know much about Douvan but the vibes are he is better than Vautour which has made me stay away from the race, I have a tiny bet on Seedling just for fun.

I would back all three of the favs in singles if I was a short price favourite backer, but I am not.

Douvan has looked amazing but, like a few others it's difficult to know what he beat or what he'll find off the bridle, but with the vibes coming out of the yard it sounds like he might be the real deal
 
Betfair NRNB since yesterday.

Still looking better to stick with 365 because they are also BOG, not just nrnb, I don't think anyone else is offering that are they?
