Cheltenham Festival

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

ok my favourite race meeting of all year, out of interest pick one horse in the whole meeting and see if you are a winner at the end

My race cert is Denman in Friday Gold Cup can get 4/1 which I feel is too generous, but its drifting so will wait until the day perhaps

Let be having your one fancy

Next Wednesday in the Champion Bumper the last race of the day. Old McDonald.

Which is of course arrant nonsense. Will they be best price on every horse throughout the 26 races of the Festival? Of course they won't.

I'm really looking forward to the Festival; that roar from the crowd when the runners set off for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle is something else. No bets yet, but will be placing plenty of mug Lucky 15s next week no doubt.

I use William Hill, and there is some truth in that. If you take a price (ie 7-1), and the winner comes in at 8-1, they pay you the higher price, on all UK racing. So you always get the best available

Only had 1 early bet on Cheltenham, in the Wordl Hurdle on Thurday. EW on sentry duty, in the race which should go to Big Bucks

On the radio yesterday, any losing bet on the first race of the meeting will be refunded if the Favourite wins.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Just got this from bet365, one of SZ's affilaites:

An offer so good, you need to be told thrice.

Ahem. Not sure what happened there :unsure:

Should have said Paddy Power

 

[Uncle Leo]

I've gone with that Paddy Power offer. Backed McCoy's mount, second favourite Get Me Out Of Here. If Dunguib wins, money back.

Note that the money back offer applies only to the win part of your bet, so if you had £5 e/w on a horse that was unplaced, you'd only get £5 back, not the whole £10.

 

[southend4ever]

I hear Getmeoutofhere is being backed in...

i backed it... was talked up 3 mins before the race in betfred and subsequently backed in. couldnt have been closer to be honest other than a photo!

 

[EastStandBlue]

Never back horses, purely because it's a sport I have next to no knowledge of, but I've been told to go e/w on Wishfull Thinking in tomorrows Coral Cup.

£5 e/w at 14's with Ladbrokes.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I backed Get Me Out Of Here e/w, so just sneaked a £1.25 profit on my £10 unit stake. Now it's e/w Lucky 15 time:

2:05 Somersby
2:40 The Package
3:20 Celestial Halo
