Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Relying on bookies palpable errors to gain an edge is not sustainable though :very_drunk:


I got paid out on one once when they just didn't settle a losing bet they classed it as a NR. That was BFSB too, long time ago though, definitely before I was flirting on here.

They haven’t voided my bets yet so I’m hoping they’ve given me an early Christmas gift. Hope being the key word here.
 
First christmas present of the day . - Sporting life website .
Ricci stars out to Shine . Good write up on all the horses .
Including you know who.. Happy Christmas everyone !! :triumphant:
 
Looks like it's going to be pretty chaotic on the Racing Channel today, will they still show the Irish racing or will that be put on another channel?

I basically use the bookmakers apps to watch myself.
But I believe they're having a separate channel for the irish racing on RTV.

Not sure if it's on the red button or only available on mobile platforms. I was hoping they'd add a separate channel but they haven't (or at least, I can't see one)
 
Think today just shows how difficult racing is

Yep Kauto. We all like to have opinions and our own selections for a race, but there are often some very trident views expressed about who is better than who before they have ever met, and a lot of those blew up today.

Best to just make your pick at the odds you are willing to accept, state the reasons why, on the forum, and leave the ‘X can’t beat Y’ stuff out.

What an embarrassment of riches he has! Let’s hope that comes off, 3 biggest winners of the festival for me!
 
Does anyone think we'll get 100-1 on the best jockey riding at the moment ? this year ?
If anyone spots the top jockey market please let me know.
before taking the price.
 
Wanting to back Allaho tomorrow, any idea what race he goes for?....RSA or JLT or is it safe to play the any race market....best price I an see for that is 14/1 WH
 
Allaho was 16-1 for the Marsh nov chase before he had a slight setback , so 14-1 a/race probably fair. s.s.

Was looking forward to Allaho's debut over fences and had taken a big price for RSA and backed any race also. But after many of Mullins' horses underperforming in last couple of days I can't say I'm expecting too much. Hopefully he jumps well and does enough to justify my bets on him. Fingers crossed.
