Imogen Thomas Joins Paddy Power For Champion Offer
Imogen Thomas has returned to work – in a Man United kit promoting Paddy Power’s offer on the Champions League Final.
Paddy Power will refund losing bets if Manchester United lose the match.
Paddy Power is famous for their Money-Back Specials, but this is their all-time most generous offer, giving customers a 50:50 chance of having losing bets refunded. To compound the generosity – this match is likely to be the biggest sports betting event of all time.
In another world first, the offer was not decided by the bookmakers, but by their customers. Paddy Power Punters were given a choice of seven different offers, and 37% of them plumped for this one.
Paddy Power said: “Our biggest offer, on the world’s biggest match. What’s not to love – provided you’re a Paddy Power Punter. With such an offer who else could we choose to front our advertising than Imogen Thomas – the most talked about woman in Britain this week. We did consider the Middleton sisters – but they were otherwise engaged”
“At the very least it will provide a silver lining and small crumb of comfort for the thousands of Man Utd fans out there to get their money back should their team fall at the final hurdle.”
Giggs Gambles
Paddy Power are also betting on Ryan Giggs’ performance in the match, offering 7/1 the winger scores in the final and 7/2 he is caught offside during the match.
Paddy Power have also brought back their famous Commentary Cliches on the match betting on the first phrase used in their list by the ITV commentators on Saturday. “2009”, a reference to the final between Saturday’s two teams is the 3/1 favourite followed by “Bobby Charlton”, who scored two goals in the Wembley 1968 final, at 8/1. “Imogen” is 25/1 to be the first phrase used with “Giggs has been caught offside” at 40/1.
Champions League Final – Money-Back Special
If Barcelona win this match in normal time Paddy Power will refund correct score, first/last goalscorer, and scorecast singles on the match.
Terms & Conditions: Singles placed before kick-off only. Barcelona must win in 90 mins, extra time or penalties do not count. Max Refund €/£100 per customer. Paddy Power football rules apply.
