Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

Watching On The Line, listening to Ricci .... the 43/1 available for the DOuvan (CC), Min (Ryanair) double that PP have also cut is not going to last long!

Went in on this, got a price boost just over 47/1 on WH as well!
 
Just ticked over 410 pts staked..... hopefully not lost too many to Annamix there *gulp* :highly_amused:
 
I have got away very lightly with Annamix, having only put him in a couple of multiples over the weekend. Hopefully no one lost too much on him.

Not looking good this end FM, so much so that it now being 2 festivals running I'm debating the ante post game altogether after this festival!

Stick with it CoD. You've got very good positions with other horses/races.

Only 8 pts for me in dead bets but a good few lucky/yankee etc that are a leg missing that I won't count as written off just yet but effectivly probably are

Sorry to hear that CoD ... you'll bounce back though.... the season Douvan won the Supreme, Allez Colombieres was apparently 'the one'

Let's just hope we don't get many more.

If CoC doesn't make it I am on the floor :highly_amused:
 
I have come out of the Annamix news not as bad as I expected! Hope all you other guys are not too badly hit
 
The first year Faugheen didn't make it I lost that much that I didn't even want to go to cheltenham. As a result, I promised I wouldn't put myself in that position again.

Wish I learnt the first time haha! I'll just enjoy Australia, the festival isn't the be all and end all so won't let it affect me too much, but right now it's a real gutter, fell down the same trap door as previous season, I did say I'll never learn :disgust:
 
Plenty of time to turn it around CoD. Horrible feeling when it happens but it's only one horse... think of all your other bets that already look great.
 
Out ok on Annamix as I only had the 4 points on, and have been using skybet's free bet club for multis but f**k those were the multis where I had Samcro at a big price damn

I think this is what hurts the most for me too, most of my better Samcro and Faugheen prices relied on Annamix being well. Painful to take indeed!

That's the issue for me. No real damage cash wise but the only time I had Samcro above 6/1 was with Annamix
 
My first ever ante post bet for this seasons festival was Annamix, Nichols Canyon & Fayonagh, it was a patent so have the small hope of the last leg, but please, please, nothing happen to NC!
 
I’ve taken pretty sizeable hits (for me) on Fayonagh and Annamix

Luckily my life changed lucky 15 is still in tact!
 
Took a reasonably big hit on Annamix but most dissapointed as it was my biggest winner and was in plenty of multiples. More than a bit concerned with Petit Mouchir and especially Our Duke, but overall I am content with my position at this stage. Problem is there are still 3 long months to go...haha!

Also just want to thank Billymag for giving us the head's up that Annamix was the Mullins hypehorse from a good distance out helping us get decent prices. Didn't work out this time but the money that followed suggests he was the one, despite others being touted on social media.
 
Had backed Annamix as a single bet and had in trebles,bit of an ouch but its ante post so you pays ya monies and takes ya chance
 
Also have to add the timing was just 'brilliant'. I think at the same time that Ricci was bringing us the news I was updating my mate who I'd told to back Annamix a while ago that he might be out on Thursday and the 0.5 double at juicy odds I'd put on for him on Annamix and Samcro was looking good at least on the Samcro side. Tried to delete the WhatsApp message but too late...haha!

Yeah well said, can't win them all can we.

Our Duke souldnt be reason for concern yet either IMO. Next time out maybe ...
