Paddy Power Price and Early Payout Explained You might have noticed on the various Paddy Power accumulator coupons that some of the matches have Power Price next to them. Click through that match and you will find a selection of Power Prices which basically means that the bookmaker boost the odds of certain selections winning. For example, you might find AC Milan to win 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0 at odds of 5/2 instead of 21/10. In addition, the Early Payout is a great promotion that is available at Paddy Power and this applies to the Full-Time Result betting market. This means that if you place a 1x2 football accumulator with Paddy and any team that forms part of your acca goes two goals ahead in the game, then you will be paid out early.
