Overview

• Paddy Power lost an estimated 'millions upon millions' of pounds after Spain’s 5-4 Nations League semi-final victory over France.
• The 'Super Sub' promotion, active in 973 matches over 18 months, rolls a bet to the next substitute and was triggered ten times in the game.
• Dani Vivian’s substitution immediately led to a foul worth about £500,000, while Samu Aghehowa’s shot on target and Gavi’s late booking added further six-figure losses.
• This match eclipsed all previous encounters under the initiative, making it the costliest single event in the promotion’s history.
• A Paddy Power spokesman admitted that punters 'took advantage' of the offer and 'pulled our pants down' as the company now assesses the full financial impact.
