Paddy Power Poker has always been one of the leaders in online poker industry and their latest feature is likely to take the ambling world by storm. The biggest Irish poker room has recently introduced the Back Bet application, which allows you to place side bets during your poker hands.

BackBet Side-Bets – The First Online Poker Side-Betting Experience

BackBet is an innovative side-betting application designed to make your on-line poker experience even more exciting. Whether it’s to keep you in play between hands or to double – or triple – the action with a side-bet on your current game!

Side-Betting Options

During every betting round there is a different side-betting option.

Bet what your next pocket cards will be
Bet what the board cards will be
Bet on what your folded hand would have hit

The Bet button consists of five different parts:

The Side-Bet Icon: by hovering over the icon a tooltip will open and give you a description of the offered side-bet

Betting Ratio: This number is the multiplier for your bet to show you what you will win if your bet is a winner

Bet Amount: Shows how much money you are placing on the side bet

Win Amount: Shows the amount you can win with the side-bet

Bet Button: Once you have made your selection, click on the BET button to place your bet

Betting History

This feature allows you to view all of the side-bets you have placed during your session along with their outcomes. Simply hover over any of your past side bets and a window will open to provide you with the details of the game. The bets are colour coded depending on their type:

Green indicates your win and the amount of money you won

Red indicates your loss and the amount of money you lost

Blue indicates a ‘no show’ bet. This means that during the betting round something occurred which resulted in the bet being cancelled.

Yellow indicates that the side bet was cancelled due to an issue that resulted in the bet now being received in time.

Grey indicates that the bet is still pending and the result has not yet been determined
