- Its prices feed value bets, the odds pages, dropping odds and the in-play board; like every UK sportsbook GoldEdge covers, it is not used as an arbitrage leg.
- Paddy Power shares a trading team with Betfair Sportsbook and Sky Bet, so the dropping-odds page counts a move at two of them as one decision.
- Its basketball "Total Points" market is listed beside "Total Points inc Overtime"; only the overtime-inclusive one is compared.
- Promotional listings such as "Football Boosts" are not fixtures and are left out.
