2018 Bookie Specials

Kev (or any of the admins) - any chance of a sticky thread with just the opening post of all the Cheltenham offers we can attack? I'm not talking about the countdown offers being added daily. More the offers for on the day. For example
Supreme -
Money back as a free bet on all losers with skybet up to £20
Money back as a free bet on all losers with Coral up to £25
Ladbrokes double money offer
Betway offer

Paddy money back as a free bet (up to a 10er) if the fav wins on all races on first day

Just my opinion but I think it would be good if we had just one post that doesn't get clogged up with a load of other discussion posts. All members could continue sticking the offers in here and then the admin could edit the sticky single post with the details.

I thought the same actually that it would be a useful reference on a race by race day to day thing.

Yeah, sounds good. :encouragement:

2018 Bookmaker Festival Offers - Check T&Cs

2nd March - Ladbrokes in the Supreme. If you back the winner, they will double your winnings with free bets up to £50. Valid to use for 24 hours. More like it. Basically not scared to give free bets if the Favourite wins the Supreme



Betway - Free bet up to a £10 if you lose in First or Last Race each day. Same offer as 2017. Not likely to make me run to their site. Would I remember to use free bet?



Corals on the Supreme Novice. Free bet up to £25 if your first selection loses. Free bet to be credited by 12 noon the next day. Must be used within 24 hrs. Also money back free bet up to £25 if your selection falls in any Festival race. Every little help.



Paddypower will give you free bet up to £10 if the favourite wins any race on Day 1 and you don't back it. Not bad at all. To be used if you are not going to back a short priced favourite.



(A Supreme Free Bet Strategy - Use the whole lot to back Getabird at hopefully 2/1. If wins liability should be £80. You win £160 and £50 in free bets from Ladbrokes. However if he loses, you get £55 of that £80 back in free bets which you need to remember to use on the Wednesday. Also use the Paddy Power £10 to back something to cover that £25. If that loses and Getabird loses, you are £35 behind. Should be a bet of £25 to win £210

I can't get a single one of them online.
If I could and it's on the soft side id have it all on First Flow. ON THE DAY

I wouldn't advise backing the fav with these offers personally. Go for the big win. And if you lose, use your free bets wisely.

Kim Bailey has said he is 40/60 against running if it is soft which isn't the worst chance when looking at 25/1 NRNB
 
Got to remember the dam offers, as I always forget during the festival. I had 17 winners with bet365 last year and not once did I take advantage of their free bet on the next race if the price is over 4/1.. need to remind myself somehow, as the guiness numbs my mind!!!
 
Hills will double your winnings in CASH up to £100 for the supreme.

Just seen this in my inbox!

Start Cheltenham with a bang! We'll Double Your Winnings in the Festival opener, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Tues 13:30).
The curtain raising Supreme Novices' Hurdle always gets the festival off to a flyer. Place your first bet on the race, and if your horse wins or places (finishes in the first 3), we'll double your winnings in cash up to £100.
 
The restriction on Altior/Samcro/AJ @ 5/1 has been reset

So another £15 on for me

Is that 17 winners at the festival?

I haven't seen this widely advertised yet.. Is this only for invited customers?
 
Not sure where to ask but does anyone have an 888 sport account? If so what are they like?

I have. They referred a few of my multiples and rejected one which wasn't going to be worth that much anyway.

Don't like the website, I've only had 15 pts on since 2015 though

Similar to Kev haven't bet much with them over the years. That said never had any problems though and worth joining up for any offers in my opinion.
 
They were offering 16-1 Altior/Douvan double last year for a tenner so signed up. Haven't bet with them since :highly_amused:
