Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

I like betting on the MotoGP (Moto2 / Moto3) - I find the bookies are slow to react to weather in the head to head markets lower down sometimes... and a friend of mine has an encylopedic knowledge about riders previous results which is useful

Yep wet races can be fun, but I normally just watch the moto2 & 3 races.. had lewis & Marc double last year to win over 1.5k Lewis had it wrapped up before the last race but I was sweating a bit on Marc last race. I'll do the same this year...

I have gone a bit of subject, sorry about that..

Does anyone else think Samcro is a superstar? I was thinking about having all if any winnings from the fest on him to win a Gold Cup one day at around 20/1..

I backed Marc after Maverick had won the first two... they pushed Marquex out to 9/4 which was an incredible over reaction...

Looking forward to seeing the title odds actually... Moto 2 looks amazing this season. Can't wait to see the odds.
 
I know Marc is 4/5 silly odds, I might wait and see how the first few races go this year before I go in, like you said 9/4 was crazy for the most amazing rider I have seen since C Stoner
 
First flow nrnb 33/1 supreme.
The talkis he won't go there before the race.

Kim Bailey said LTO that he'd have one more run (today) which would be "he's Cheltenham" then put away for soft ground chasing next season. Slick jumper though.

I know :).
Put it on when he went clear just in case. Can cash out anytime for full value.

I use to sit in the bookies all day, then online took over, would bet on every race, dogs, poker and on two flies climbing a wall if I could so maybe I should have called myself ExSirbetaot :), grown up a lot and lost a lot, much more selected now. Only really bet the big races, GN, Chel, Derby & so on.. my real love is F1 & NFL. also change the way I bet, I only do largish bets on anti-post, had a few big winners, last year, One for Arthur GN and a big double on F1 & Motogp both put me slightly up on the year and reinvested some on the Cheltenham Fest as I love pure class races..

Last year I was called MullinsMull spelling error was meant to be mule... had two winners that I posted up but many seconds and thirds plus a few that should have won if stayed on their feet. This year I am hoping to do a little better, just love Samcro & Getabird, hope they keep them apart until nest season..

I love the NFL as well, who’s ya team, I’m a Steeler
 
Jags and Vikings are my bets for the Superbowl this year. I have a sneaky feeling the Jags might cause an upset tonight.

Really hope so, Im sure we will have Thumbgate after the game.. Had Eagles before Wentz got injured.

The Eagles are my team. They were heading to the Superbowl before Wentz got injured but I don't see how they beat the Vikings now.
 
ARTICULUM nrnb bog.
25/1 Albert Bartlett ew
40/1 ballymore ew

I fancied the Jags and the points tonight until I read that half of their sacks came against Houston and Indy. Kind of tarnishes “Sacksonville” and lowers the probability of them keeping the Pats U21 points as I don’t see Belichick letting Bortles run riot over their D

:encouragement: I backed the 25/1 AB this morning

Ballymore I haven't yet.

I'm going to look very silly :highly_amused: . But I was honestly thinking he could have possibly put it up to Samcro in the 2m6 race at leopardstown

I got Jags with +8.5. A lot depends on which Blake Bortles turns up as i don't rate the Patriots D that highly.

I'll be watching the first game live and the second tomorrow night after work. The biggest challenge is going to be avoiding the result.

I'm going to try and concentrate on the Friday today... as I've got some free time.

USually Day One and Day Two get the most of my attention, probably

I think he’s a superstar.

I believe he’s only 8/1 for a gold cup though.

Where did you see that 20s?

I’m a falcons Fan. Couldn’t believe the way we crumbled in last years Super Bowl.

Backed the Chiefs this year at 20/1. It all started so well with 5 straight wins and then it all went wrong.

Expecting the Vikings to face the Patriots this year. The Vikings even making it would be incredible after last weeks finish. A once in a lifetime play.
