So Paddy Power have won themselves some cheap advertising ny paying up on Stoke getting relegated after ONE match!
The maths are probably that they'll be paying out a couple of thousand and getting absolutely shit loads of free publicity as a result.
A cynical and clever marketing ploy but one which is trying to belittle Stoke. I just hope it not only costs them the pennies they pay out but also that every Stoke fan opts for betting with firms OTHER than them. The Irish tossers!

Boycott the darts if it ever comes to stoke again, if they're still the sponsors  |

paddys are one of the better bookies out there, the worst being the one owned by coates who only lay sizeable bets to mugs

I'll bring this to the top and hope that anybody who hasn't had their free bet will do so soon!
I've joined PaddyPower on line to get my freebie and will be deleting my account after I pick my winnings up. He might think its a bit of a laugh and cheap advertising to have a go at Stoke BUT we can and should try to give him a bloody nose with our free bets.

Wouldn't you all be better using Bet 365 anyway? The more they get, the more Coates gets and the more you get?

Paddy Power are an excellent bookie, lighten up people it's just a bit of fun, not many big hitters will have lumped on at the (2/5 ?) price we were to get relegated, and season ticket holders get the chance of a free bet !

Trebor have you had to transfer money into your account to activate it? All I've done is open my online account (not given a penny) I've just filled a form in. They've emailed me back confirming my user name and now all I do is send a photo copy of my season ticket to them and I should get my free bet! Ianrb Its not a case of lightening up it just annoys me they use Stoke as a laughing stock to get cheap publicity. Hopefully Stoke can use it to their advantage as can us (the fans) |

I've closed my account and have an email saying that they settle lots of markets early and no offence was meant. I replied saying there's settling markets early and there's taking the fucking piss and this was the latter. I went on to call Paddy Power a c(_)nt and requested odds for another potato famine be put in their specials markets.
I don't expect a reply.
