Cheltenham 2017 Antepost Bets

RE :Lucky 15's ,L31's etc, The guy in Corals told me , when you do an Antepost L 15/31 etc,
you dont get the bonus /bonuses ? , Dont know if it only Coral thats like it.
Also ,a couple of years ago , B.F guy told me they have a payout limit on L.15 etc. Max 500.000. i think he said .
Remember a punter had a big win on a L.15 and he said ,doesnt matter what you stake for , max payout xxxxx .
Hope this is useful info ,, #b.f. p/out thing may have changed ??.
 
Wanted to get Ballyboker Bridge in a multiple because I think his price might shorten after he runs today....

Ballyboker Bridge XC 33/1
Charbel JLT 33/1
Shaneshill Stayers 10/1
Native River Gold Cup 5/1

76295/1 with Spoylesports - EW Lucky 15

Every bookie has a maximum payout and I think it usually is half a million, but for Cheltenham this is normally raised to £1m.
There have also been several cases of life changers copping and going over the max payout but I think they have, on occasions, paid in full, and there have also been some where legal action has followed.
I don't know the outcome or what stance is taken by them all but I'm sure the limit for Chelt is a million.

#nice problems to have
 
OK cheers Zipiter.
Maybe the occurances are rare but there have been payouts above the maximum, they often like the publicity, but it's worth being aware of limits.

Any acca that (you think) goes over the payout should be spread across several bookies
 
My ante-post horses so far (both singles and various multis) (in race order):Melon (Supreme), Yorkhill and Min (Arkle), Faugheen and Yanworth (CH), Agenieinabottle (or whatever it is spelt like, NH Chase), Invitation Only (Neptune), Alpha Des Obeaux (RSA), Cantlow (XC), Yorkhill (JLT), Jezki and Shaneshill (Stayers), Meri Devie (Triumph), Djakadam (GC)

The only dead ones are Campeador (any race), Campeador (CH), a couple of doubles involving Josie's Orders, one of the 2 Yorkhill ones... as long as Willie doesn't do anything silly!

The only ones at a serious price for reasonable money are Melon (a multitude of free bets from Skybet) at 16/1 and 14/1. Min at 11/2. Faugheen 3/1 (not NRNB obviously), Invitation Only at 14s and 10s, Alpha Des Obeaux at 12s and then again at 20s and Djakadam at 14/1.
 
Thanks Istabraq, It would be a Nice problem to have !!,
Doesn't seem to be any point overstaking if you aint gonna get paid !?.
 
Lads, anyone got a good link to the racing UK half term reports? Iv clicked on the ones on the topic a few pages back but a problem with java script..
 
I'm sure I saw Racing UK post them on Twitter earlier this week (possibly Thursday) so you might find them on there CW
 
Just used a free bet on:

Defi du Seuil
On The Fringe
Western Ryder

377/1 treble

I used to waste free bets on interest football/Dog bets but someone inhere mentioned using them on AP bets, makes sense....
 
Skybet 5er Ista?

Just done a mad one myself with the 5er freebet

Altior, Douvan, Harry, Airlie Beach, Thistlecrack, Defi, On the Fringe
Returns over 5grand. One of the favs atleast will prob get turned over but don't mind throwing a freebet at it.
 
Bit more than that KSS.
Sky do these money back offers if your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd in Sat races, I've had this three Sats running now so makes sense to add another AP interest....
 
Ah yes. I was just thinking of the Skybet 5er club that does be sent every Monday. I'm using it for silly bets.
 
I get those but never used one.
Fivers don't interest me but if you use them to have e/w double/trebles on big prices you might cop a nice return, crazy really that you're given a free bet and can't be arsed with it....
 
I'll have them Ista ;)
 
Faugheen out isn't such an issue for me, but Min missing it will put a big dent in my ante-post book.

I did say to myself after last season I'd stop backing Mullins horses ante-post, so I guess I can't complain too much...
 
Thatll be my book ruined, Yorkhill will be in the Arkle or probably the CH

It's tough to take, but injuries can happen, regardless of which stable they are out of.
Changing targets is normally where we get stung on Mullins horses.
