Paddy Power’s Complete Compendium of fun Bets

Online bookmaker Paddy Power have an astounding array of sensational betting markets available from the traditional sporting variety to the extreme and sometimes quite frankly ridiculous showbiz novelty bets. With some fabulous categories such as ‘Hatches, Matches & Dispatches’, Celebrities Behaving Badly and Princely Punts in the Paddy Power novelty bets section there is certainly an emphasis on the fun side of betting. Never a sportsbook to take themselves too seriously online bookmaker Paddy Power provide the less than ‘serious’ bettor with some very unusual novelty bets as well as the more regular sporting fixtures to place bets on.

A visit to online bookmaker Paddy Power is certainly an amusing affair and will certainly give an opportunity for alternative markets to bet on, you can place bets on the more straightforward markets such as the ‘Top England Ashes Wicket-taker’, Flintoff is the favourite with odds of 9/4, or in golf ‘Who will win Most Majors?’ the favourite in this case being Tiger Woods with odds of 1/8, but for that extra bit of interest and tongue in cheek humour why not try a bet on ‘Dispatches – First To Split’. Here you will receive odds of 1 / 2 for Peaches Geldof and Max Drummey to be the first to break up in 2009. Another interesting bet might be ‘Biggest Sugar Daddy Age Gap In New Celebrity Relationship’ or ‘BBC Sack Race – Next to Leave the BBC’ with the favourite in this market, dear old Brucie with odds of 11/4 and outsider Gary Lineker only managing to muster odds of 50/1. Why not place a novelty bet on the name of the new Obama White House Puppy? Should you choose George as the name of Obama’s new pup you will receive odds of 8/1, but the name Gordon is given only an outsiders chance with 66 /1.

We quite fancy a punt on ‘Lily Savage – who will Lily Allen First Bad Mouth in 2009? And although at time of writing this event hasn’t happened by the time you read this the winner of this market could already have been named, with odds of 8/1 the X-factor winner for our money is the most likely – but please don’t quote us!
