Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

Just tried to 'discuss it' on the online chat. Wasted 10 minutes as the lady told me about the only ante post refunds being when a horse is balloted out and I should cheek my bets more carefully!

Got my back up so I posted the same terms and conditions as above that she wasn't aware of. She apologised so that's fine but then got cut off.

In fairness I might have wasted 6 pts on 3 singles today but should have read the full terms sc las they are ambiguous still.

I'll try and get two of them voided when I have more time

Really hope you do Kev, and really sorry again for putting up bogus info, did think it was odd prices didn't appear to have changed, will make sure I read the T&C properly (or copy amd paste them) before posting similar again

Nothing to apologise for.

I actually want to keep one live haha
 
On the opposite side of things , when i have placed an antepost bet with Betfred , the guy has said clearly before you part with
the dough , " you know that if this horse doesn't run you don't get your money back ".
 
Had a feel to do an ante-post Heinz after much time without an antepost flutter.
Apples Jade - Mares 10/11 (easiest pick, outstanding mare will keep on doing yhe mares jjst as Annie power did for dead certain prize money, bar any falls)
Samcro - 2/1 ballymore (can u be more impressive? Every trainer wanting to avoid... Ricci contemplated when asked if he would swap the almighty Douvan as a novie for samcro... he thought about it and couldnt get his words out... hes special)
Coney Island - Gold Cup 8/1(no stand out, might bite does not look good enough to me as he lookd lackluster in the King George)
Benie Des Dieux (NRNB)- Ryanair 14/1 (Mullins and Ricci will target this race just to piss o leary off seeing as they sponsor, if she goes she will win)
Footpad - Arkle 7/4 (rediculous jumping at present)
Willoughby Court(spring ground, cheltenham form) - JLT 8/1

That actually looks really strong!! You went ew or win on this?
 
Sky are Non Runner No Bet - all races. Properly :p
 
Does anyone know anything about 'The Statesman'. I was really taken by his hurdling debut back in October, winning by 16 lengths, form took a huge boost when the runner up came back out and hosed up by 18 lengths.

This is one i'm really keen on should he make it to the festival - but I currently have no clue where (or if) he is being aimed?
 
After I placed my weekly free bet acca this morning grrr

Tough times ahead if having free bets returned will save your festival :p

Think of the better prices you've got? :D

On a serious note, they seem to have trimmed every single horse which is understandable. Any gems anyone has spotted?

Just had a cursory look through. Cant blame them, but anything Im interested in looks really short. Would rather take the risk and get double the price in some cases, or wait for the day of race markets myself.

Although Im sure some shrewder than me will find the odd nugget in there!

Haha fair point. Someone on here mentioned using their free bet club for cheltenham multies and it's great. I don't place as many as people on here, but if they go done, I've only put about 10 points of real money on them
