Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Noticed everyone getting a touch tetchy on here, anyone would think the festival is nearly here!!! Enjoyed the year and the debates during the course of it. If you want to disagree with anything i put on here feel free, welcome alternative opinions as long as there is an opinion actually put forward against a position. Good luck all hope its on and the racing gods smile on us all.

Happens every year, you could set your watch to it. Compounded by all the coronvirus scaremongering.

Guilty BM :) Charlie correct , passion burns deep , time for a little “ ice in the veins” but far easier said than done :).

Echo your comments “ Good luck to ALL” , whether we agree or choose to differ in our opinions
 
Tetchy is all good lads, and agree the virus has magnified it, 1000's of posts on here over the year and very few fall outs. I cant wait till Champ wins and i can go back and say "told you so"!! lol
 
I can’t wait now to be honest. Cases and opinions throughout the season have been made, antepost bets are on.

Just a few handicaps to keep chipping away at.

Have really enjoyed the last few months since joining so thanks all. Already looking forward to next years debates :encouragement:

Roll on Tuesday!
 
Best of luck to everyone on the F.J. forum. Hopefully we take the bookies to the cleaners��

Not much change there then and I bet few surprises given the numbers left in. A few more days wait until I commit my last few bullets.

I thought there'd be more standing their ground in Stayers and Ryanair.
 
Think William Henry has been scratched from Stayers, know a few on here were having a punt on it!

Black Op think has no entry now, not in JLT?

I've been given a £1 free bet.


What the ************************ is that?!

I know we shouldn't talk about stakes but that is a slap in the face?



What on earth are you supposed to do with a £1 bet?


I'm going to let it expire out of spite.

I never used to use the fivers Sky gave me but it was you who convinced me that these can be worthwhile.
Only last year I used several of these on Waldgeist in the Arc for a nice return, so I would say throw it on a 50/1 shot in the National of Potato race and forget about it, but don’t give up free money...
