Ireland: Paddy Power refunds bets for Ryan Dolan

Irish-founded bookmakers; Paddy Power have decided to refund all ‘win’ and ‘each way singles’ for Ryan Dolan this year due to the bookmakers seeing Ryan’s last place as “undeserved”.

The bookmakers will be refunding more than €15,000 as a result of their decision to refund.

A Paddy Power spokesperson has said:

“Ryan genuinely didn’t deserve to finish last, he was well backed from the off but punters never got a run for their money and the only fair thing to do is to refund them their money.”

Ryan Dolan sang “Only Love Survives” for Ireland this year in Eurovision. Coming last in the Final with 5 points.
