Paddy Power or Sky Bet: how do their extra places differ?
How Paddy Power and Sky Bet differ on extra places is Not verified on 7 November 2026, and we do not name either as better. The table below shows what will be compared: how each announces extra places, the places and fraction, and the Rule 4, dead-heat and price-guarantee wording. Every cell waits for a source and a date.

The comparison table
Extra places are a promotion, so each row describes the offer on the date we read it, not a permanent feature of the bookmaker.

What we will read again for this page
Values already in the profiles, Paddy Power extra places and Sky Bet extra places, are shown only by link. For this comparison we will read the full conditions of each extra-place promotion again on the date of the page.
We will not repeat claims in AI answers about a particular race, such as a Sky Bet price at Ascot, unless the operator's own archive page shows it.
The short version: claims about a single race need the operator's own record of that race.
Reading the result once it is filled
If a difference appears, state it as a condition: for a race with this wording, one operator's text applies more places or a different fraction. Do not turn it into a general ranking.
Sky Bet's register record is covered on its own page, Sky Bet licence record, and we check it before this page can go live.
The short version: a difference is a fact about a race and a date, not about the whole bookmaker.
Where the two may match
Both are likely to publish a standard line for places and fractions by race type. The explanation of the idea is on what extra places are, and a wider list is planned on UK-licensed bookmakers that publish extra-place offers.
The short version: matching terms are recorded with the same care as differing ones.
