Cheltenham Chat

The greatest time of the year for Racing punters, and probably affiliates too .Everyone from first time bet virgin to the "pro" punter in the UK likes to have a little bet.

Ive spent the last 48 hours digging in to trends and stat's, I find this angle works better at the festival than working from just form.

Will any of you guys be having a punt this year?

Any early fancies / lays?

[JackTenSuited]

As a player I have an occasional punt on the horses but during Cheltenham it's a different story. Will also be making full use of all the enhanced multiples, free bets and money back offers that all the bookies will be running.
Unfortunately I have very little betting traffic

[AE-Stephen]

Yeah, this year there are some good promotions running which I've took advantage of.

On paper it looks like the most competitive Cheltenham Festival I've come across, but there's lots of value to be had as a punter, I can't wait.

Back all the 2nd strings to win, level stakes.

Briar Hill Albert Bartlett won last years bumper
Red Sherlock Neptune would have won last years bumper
Golantilla Bumper surprisingly didn't win last years bumper, but may well be a stronger horse this year

More speculative .....

Really looking forward to Cheltenham this year - looks like it's going to be a good one. Plus the weathers been brilliant, so fingers crossed nothing gets rained off...

Are you guys covering much of it on your sites? We have a day by day guide on ukracingguide.co.uk plus some individual race previews on bettingsites.co, but nothing too crazy.

Too remote to get into Cheltenham fever - very little natural coverage of it outside of the UK.

However one tip I have is something I noticed about the best horses - that usually run well.
The trick is to pick a horse that has a leg in each corner ...

13:30 - Supreme Novice Hurdle:- Wicklow Brave @ 7/1 - Was on each way at 10/1 - Losing bet- felt the horse was unlucky having a coming together Gilgamboa when going well.

14:05 - Arkle Trophy:- Dodging Bullets @ 5/1 was on at 9/1 - Losing bet never really performed

14:40 - Handicap Chase:- Tour De Champs 20/1 - Muldoons Picnic - 33/1 - Tour Des Champs finished 5th Each way pays.

15:20 - Champion Hurdle:- Jezki @ 9/1 - Each way was on at 12/1 - Winner @ 9/1, everyone doubted me but he was my biggest bet of the festival

16:00 - OLBG Mares Hurdle:- Glens Melody @ 12/1 - Each way, Sairene Danais also a good each way shout. - Glens Melody @16/1 finished 2nd behind the brilliant quevega each way pays.

16:40 - National Hunt Chase:- Again i'll wait on this one.

Results today, a good day for me.

Awful start for me
Backed our Conor who had to be put down and a few others which couldn't even place.
Still 3 days left though....

[AE-Stephen]

Another good day 16/1 winner and a 25/1 winner which I gave to hodgey for his birthday
