Paddy Power’s latest Money-Back Special has seen punters refunded to the tune of €630,000 over the weekend.

Paddy Power’s Money-Back Special for the Euro 2008 Quarter Finals was triggered twice when Croatia v Turkey and Spain v Italy both went to penalty shootouts.

This led to Paddy Power paying out losing 90 minute match bets on the winning teams Turkey and Spain. Whilst Turkey were not hugely fancied against Croatia, Spain had been heavily backed to see off the lifeless Italians, returning punters over €440,000.

Paddy Power, spokesman for the bookie, said: “We somewhat paid the penalty on this Money-Back Special. But it can be frustrating to see the team you backed reach the next round whilst failing to profit from it so this will allow punters to have another go in the semis.”
