Cheltenham 2017 Antepost Bets

[Kevloaf]

Just found a note from myself in a spreadsheet and Jan 3rd 2016 I had 84 points invested in Cheltenham.... so I am 252 pts more than at this point 12 months ago. Scary

Morning lads..
About that time of the year where i will stick on a 'dreamer' bet so that i can retire early
Anyways ive went for:
EW Goliath
Moon racer for - supreme
Petit Mouchoir - Champ hdle (mainly for the fact AP and Faugheen aren't certain to even turn up here and if not price will drop sharply)
Might Bite - RSA
Thistlecrack - GC
Defi Du Seuil - Triumph (mainly because i've stuck with this horse the last 3/4 runs and cannot desert him now but needs to sharpen up jumping)
Douvan - CC
Apples Jade - Mares hurdle
Altior - Arkle

Be singing and dancing if that could come somewhere close

126 points staked thus far for 2017 - double what I had at this stage last year.
Like you Kevloaf, I am more confident this year than previously (forever the optimist!)
In previous years, I have made novicey errors by loading up on short-priced accumulators, only for (at least) one horse to be either injured, or change target.
This year, I have focused mainly on singles where I am confident on target and as such, barring injuries, will get a run for my money.

Having said all that, good prices are harder to come by as we get closer to the festival, so like FM - most AP bets from now will be multiples.

Welcome to the board darlojim.

My ante post portfolio is miles down on this time last year and I think most of it is down to trust.i got battered last year with the Mullins shenanigans and as a result have been reluctant to go to mad this year.A few bets I did do early have petered out and I'm sort of struggling to get a whole lot of enthusiasm for the Festival.....I know I know, I can't believe I'm saying it myself as for the last 20 years or so Chelts has been my betting life.
Most of my bets have been confined to multiples, and as a huge fan of Min I have just checked and can't believe I only have about £25 on it.i was just thinking, in previous years I was like so many on here with liabilities everywhere well in advance of the Festival, I always had my Big Bucks and Quevega doubles on by May,cos I knew they would be going for those races, now there just seems to be so much uncertainty in so many favs that it is stopping me diving in,however I have done the two forum Yankees.��

Still loving the enthusiasm of so many on here, keep it up guys I'm enjoying the read.

MTOY haha.

I like the bet mayo

[MrMcGoldrick]

Think I might try a few of those bets myself mayo, with any luck we might get enough turning up to give us a yankee, or at least a trixie

Any time I get a win during the year I add a few. Keeps interest alive. Real shame barters didn't make it for the early ones.

I did a £3 yankee today:

Death Duty 9/4

Hendo didn't sound very positive about MB - typical.
