Paddy Power’s Super Sub feature keeps your bet alive until the final whistle. 

This game-changing betting feature is now available on 1+, 2+, and 3+ markets, your bet continues if your chosen player is subbed off and the oncoming player picks up where they left off.

For example, if you back Arsenal's Bukayo Saka to be fouled 2+ times and he's fouled once and is then subbed off - the player coming on will only need to be fouled once to land the 2+ bet that you originally placed on the Gunners winger.

What Is Paddy Power Super Sub?

If you place a bet on any of the betting options (below) and the player you have selected gets subbed off, the player coming on automatically takes over to fulfil the bet. 

Currently, Super Sub is only available on 1+, 2+ and 3+ selections.

1+ Market Example: You bet on Cole Palmer to have a shot on target and he is substituted and replaced by Joao Pedro without having a shot on target. If Pedro goes on to have a shot on target, your bet will be a winner. 

2+/3+ Market Example: You bet on Richarlison to have 3+ shots on target and he has 2+ shots on target and is then substituted and replaced by James Maddison, then Maddison will need to have just 1+ shot on target for the bet to be a winner.

Super Sub works on any of the following betting options: 

✅ Player to score
✅ Player to have 1+ 2+ or 3+ shots on target
✅ Player to have 1+ 2+ or 3+ shots on target in 1st half
✅ Player to have 1+ 2+ or 3+ shots
✅ Player to commit 1+ 2+ or 3+ fouls 
✅ Player to commit 1+ 2+ or 3+ fouls in 1st half
✅ Player to be fouled 1+ 2+ or 3+ times
✅ Player shown a card
✅ Player to score or assist

🚂 Paddy Power Super Sub Example - Man United v Porto  

Andy Robson is well-known for his signature Train Bets, and recently he hit a £100 - £160 bet as part of a £500 challenge.

The first leg 'Man United Goalkeeper to Make 2 or More Saves', comfortably came through before the 20-minute mark. This left only Joao Mario to commit a foul to secure the £160.

Mario was subbed off in the 77th minute for Denis Gul. On other bookmakers, this would have ended the bet, but thanks to Paddy Power's Super Sub feature, the bet continued with the substitute. Grul committed a foul late in injury time to win the bet.

📈 Why Use Super Sub In Your Bet Builders? 

Paddy Power’s Super Sub feature is more favourable when backing attacking players because strikers, on average, are expected to play the full match just 35% of the time, which has dropped from 57%. 

But the Super Sub feature improves the probability for players across the park too.

There has been a 13% drop in starters completing full games, now only 61% of players complete full 90 mins.

The introduction of 5 subs per game means that when betting on attacking player prop markets like goals, shots on target and assists customers get less value. Super Sub changes this by allowing your bet to continue.

How To Use Paddy Power Super Sub

When creating your bets, make sure to give some attention to the player you choose and their average minutes and look for who would usually come on if they were to be subbed. 

This gives you a second bite at the cherry. There’s nothing worse than a losing bet thanks to a substitution, especially when all the other selections have hit. Here’s an example from a follower:

When Andy’s Bet Club posts our Bet Builder predictions we’ll provide research around average minutes played and who key players are likely to be subbed off for.

This provides you with that additional knowledge of a bet, which gives you more value for your money if we find a price on a bet that we think has a strong chance of winning.
