Let it not be said that the guys at Paddy Power take a complicated view of life or like to get in the way of a man, his horse racing and his footy. Having already single-handedly shaken up the sports betting world, firstly through their innovative online presence and then through their apps and social media, they now bring to the market the Paddy Power Messenger app.
Designed to make placing a bet even more instantaneous and straightforward, the app effectively enables you to send and receive text messages to and from Paddy Power without the need to access the Paddy Power website or mobile app. Essentially, Paddy Power becomes your mate, albeit one with a lot of information on your favourite football team, players, race meetings and horses, and who is prepared to accept wagers from you on said teams and horses. Oh, and who’ll provide you with regular updates and news on your bets and preferred teams and horses. Not bad, eh?
How it works is this: download the Paddy Power Messenger app free of charge from iTunes to your iPhone. If you’re a new customer then merely complete the simple registration form and away you go. If you’re already a Paddy Power registered user then handily your login details will be the same and away you go too. An Android version is currently in development and will be available for Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Google Nexus devices shortly.
Next up: tell Paddy Power what your favourites are. This can be anything from broad likes such as ‘The Premier League’ and ‘The Cheltenham Festival’ to specific teams, players, horses or jockeys. Grade your favourites as well according to your level of interest and Paddy Power will accordingly alter the level of information and updates you receive. Naturally you will receive more text messages and betting information and news on your preferences with the highest priority. Adding to your preferences or amending the level of your alerts is simple too and can be done at any time.

After that, punting is a breeze. Just text your bet to Paddy Power, e.g £10 win Man City, £20 each way Danny Boy, and it’s done. Couldn’t be easier. Once you’ve placed your bet you’ll then receive live commentary updates on selected football matches and races to keep you informed/on the edge of your seat/smug in the pub. If you’re not sure what bets you fancy placing and want to have a gander at the odds first, simply text ‘odds’ to Paddy Power followed by your match, team, horse etc and they’ll text back with all you need to know. For more complicated bets simply text Paddy Power with your combinations and you’ll receive odds and quick links to add to and customise your bets.
The beauty of this app lies in its’ simplicity. For those who know what they like to bet on and for punters who enjoy a simple, quick bet from time to time this is truly perfect. No need to trawl through the welter of different bets and options via the website when you can go straight to it via SMS Messenger. The best thing? No internet connection is needed allowing you to bet, receive information and interact with Paddy Power via text message.
