Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

[Scooby91]

Just followed suit on this for BVD.

Such small differences, I'd be gutted to lose out NRNB.

May actually work out more with b.o.g and you have nrnb. You never know what can happen to push his price out a little.

Could somebody please give me any sort of update on stay humble so I know whether to cash out my lucky 15 and make it a treble or if I’m getting a ride for my money

(I don’t want to admit that SH is not coming here)

Total Recall getting hammered for a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday
Looks absolutely chucked in on 125
If they take this option it will surely be to protect his mark over fences
Suggesting they are going down the grand national route and probably avoiding Cheltenham

Go to the new veranda behind the parade ring for the best pork roll (well that was the case last year!).

Bought my tickets for all 4 days on Saturday - can't come soon enough, though I'll be moaning on the 18th that it's 12 months to the next one!

Mind you its going to be a total bust if Cause of Causes doesn't win!

Hey Vautour , I did the exact same thing on Saturday . I like to mix it up a Bit , so , Tuesday I'm going Best mate , wednesday i'm
going Club , Thursday i'm going Tatt's, and Friday i'm going Club . Got a feeling it's going to be a Great week.

Anyone choosing mac and cheese over a pulled pork sandwich needs to assess their life choices.

Food hasn't been the same since the shellfish stall stopped coming. The prawn curry was just the job.

These days it's breakfast at the hotel then, usually after the first race, sausage and bacon roll from the small stall near the window where you can buy a transfer from Tatts to Members - on the right just past the Centaur. Only a small queue if timed right.

Archie ., where exactly is the Window where you can buy a Transfer from Tatts to Members ??????., Just in case I'm already
So Far Ahead on Thursday That I've booked A private Helicopter to fly me back to Gloucester ????. :highly_amused:

BC - As you go in, walk down towards the centaur, its on your right just after a little stall. Youll see it easy enough

I’ve down for the Wednesday Thursday and Friday.

Going club Wednesday, tatts Thursday and best mate Friday.

First festival for me and I am absolutely buzzing for it

You'll love it - it's awesome. Make sure you go to the pre-parade ring at some point - Its weird how serene it is compared to the rest of the place. You should try and go on the Tuesday as well if you can - best days racing in the entire year.

One tip - if you get to day 3 with virtually no winners as has happened to me a few times go all in on your fancy for the JLT - I'm 2 for 2 doing this.

These bet 365 cash outs are crazy - I have a five fold with Sayar and Salsaretta in it wanting to pay out at 4-1 and a seven fold only place a few weeks ago paying the same. I'll be letting them all ride mind just in case!

I’ll be at home for the Tuesday unfortunately. Actually, I’ll be with my nan and Grandad and put a few bets on for them on the Tuesday. Not too fussed by the Tuesday as it goes. Thlugh If The Cap antepost would be a big win. Got him any race at 20s. I tend to go to Racing (greyhounds too) if I have a big antepost bet. So i will be at Epsom in June for the Oaks. Been on September for the race since before her Chesham win at Ascot. Was at Ascot for lady Aurelius win last year which was a decent bet too.

Cheltenham I have lots of antepost bets but I’m going for the experience. So it’s a bit different. Got some big bets on top of course but I’m looking forward to the week. Worked out brilliantly as well as the football team I support Home and away (Ipswich) are playing in Bristol on the Saturday so I stayed an extra night and saved the travelling money. Worked out well.

Think my biggest single on the day will be Burning Ambition (Foxhunters). It’s no secret on here that I love the horse and have an antepost bet but I reckon I’ll have another go on the day. I definitely will if blaklion places in the gold cup beforehand.

Agree on the Bet365 cashouts. Cashed out Bristol De Mai today. Had 33/1 from before the Betfair chase but even though he’s that price now again, I can’t see him winning. Cashed out full stake for no loss.

As a side note, I’ve stuck my weekly skybet free bet fivers in multiples. Wouldn’t it be great to have one go to the last leg. Most of them from the start of the season have a fair chance with Samcro, Altior and Apples Shakira at the centre of many.


Apologies for the longish ramble.

 

[Kevloaf]

No apologies for the ramble MoM ... longer the better. Or so my wife says.

Interesting to hear that you go whereever your ante post bets go... that must add an element of excitement for you.

For me, I agree with Vautour that the Tuesday is a special days racing, however the other 3 are better than any other days you could go to! I actually haven't been on Gold Cup day either, so my opinion is un-educated at the moment.

Do you have a bet in every race? OR just hammer the ante post selections you like?

Yeah I will have a bet every race definitely.

I’ll also have a bet on the day and treat my antepost bets as an extra add on.

I’m a bit gutted I never ventured up north for the grand national (I was at Fulham away with Ipswich that day) as One For Arthur was my biggest ever win. I’d said for months on The Racing Forum that he would win so that was great. Wish I’d been there though. Hoping September in June will be a great moment.

I can see myself hammering Burning Ambition if I’ve had a good week. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut and despite their being very little evidence to back it up, my gut screams that he’s gonna tear them apart and I should lump on a bit more.

I’ve deliberately gone in the Best mate stand for the Friday as I’ve heard Club gets like sardines in gold cup day. I like watching from the rail as well and the gold cup is over on the course by the best mate stand rather than the main stand. I think I will prefer that.

I am excited for you MOM. The festival is unmissable and I doubt after this you will ever miss one again

 

[jonthehammer]

If you are going best mate for the first time I can assure you it will be the last.

It’s horrendous in there. Full of chavs and lots of people lagered up not bothered about the Racing.

Mix of club and tatts for me, worth the extra dollar.

I’d heard it wasn’t great in there. I’m still hopeful I’d be able to avoid those who just want to drink and p1ss about. Wanted to try each enclosure once though and as gold cup day was apparently like sardines, I thought that was perhaps the day to go best mate.

Booked a holidayinn in Bristol and getting the train in each morning. Only half an hour.

£418 for the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights with breakfast and dinners included and use of a swimming pool, sauna etc. I thought that was reasonable when you consider how crazy the prices were actually in Cheltenham.

Thats decent. Im pretty sure the holiday inn is over 300 quid a night in cheltenham!

 

[Liam301287]

This is what I being telling this lass I met over last couple of months Cheltenham is best place ever. Of for Tuesday Wednesday this year.

It’s worth trying once mate. Just not for me.
