PaddyPower to refund Ashes Bets

By admin on 2009-07-29 07:18:42

PaddyPower is being generous again by refunding Ashes bets on Kevin Pietersen. It was confirmed last week that Kevin Pietersen would take no further part in the Ashes cricket series against Australia following ongoing problems with an Achilles injury that requires surgery. Kevin or KP as he is better known is one of England’s best batsmen and PaddyPower has taken many bets on him being England’s top run scorer, top overall series run scorer and Man of the Series which will now be refunded despite two of the five games having been played already.

A spokesman for PaddyPower said “KP has struggled to get going in this series and through no fault of his own has never been able to give punters a real run for their money. This seems the fairest thing to do”.

Interestingly enough the odds on Australia winning the series shortened from 11/4 to 5/2 on the news of KP’s withdrawal.
