Cheltenham Specials

So you’d be looking at 8/1 if based on current prices with Fox Norton if they were the SP’s? Still not a bad bet

Didn’t realise all Requestabets were NRNB, that 80/1 would certainly have tempted me more having known that. Think Skybet must be reliant on late non-runners in order to significantly reduce the value.

I think I bet on around 30 of the Cheltenham Skybet Request a Bets last year and around 8-9 of them came in and I doubled my money overall. Around another 10 of them came very close so I do think they’re very good value.
I’ve got nearly 50 for this year all ready placed :triumphant:

I often find on the requestabets I read each line of the bet and I'm like

Money back I would say, and they're doing their promo now that all money back offers are in cash, so I would assume it'll be money back as cash first race everyday

I did notice they were offering cash back more recently.... would be a very generous offer!

Can't help but feel if they do it will be if 2nd/3rd and not if losing like with the free bets back. If they do cash back on all losers then fir feckin play!

Wouldn't be a big shock if it's money back all losers.... 20 quid max stake ... if they gave you the 20 back, how many people would withdraw that instead of putting it on another race?

I'd be so confident they make more because they give the cash back than if they gave a free bet ... for volume of people taking it.

Especially in an open looking renewal ... and any punters that can punish them are restricted and betting more than £20 anyway.


They've only restricted one of my 4 accounts but they'll all be gone soon haha

 

[ComplyOrDie]

SkyBet offer is now live!

Cash back instead of a free bet, is that an upgrade from last season?

It's on all losers too for EVERY first race at the festival.

Yep, normally it’s money back as a free bet on losers. Monster of an offer! Let’s see if the other bookmakers can compete with that offer!

 

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

Key term is that if you choose a non-runner you get to play again. With that in mind and bearing in mind PP are now 5/1 Klassical Dream the 10/1 on KD is where i’ll be investing this morning

*In the Ballymore in case that wasn’t clear

 

[Muswell]

Angeles breath if it bolts up at the weekend it will shorten if they switch it and leave al dancer get to go again

 

[Big Bucks]

I agree with Kevloaf. Its a great marketing ploy to lure the punters in, if it be existing customers to deposit £20 in, or lure new customers in, i cant knock it as to the eye it looks and is the best offer out there, but its a smart offer as how many are just going to bet the £20 and just walk away with winnings? Majority Gamblers will put it back on and chase the bigger win in the further 6 races that day and probably end up losing the £20 in the long run!

Im doubting myself though Im near sure they gave me the same offer last year? The previous year they gave me £50 max money back as free bet first race

Yeah not denying £20 is going to do them much damage even if it's 1000s of punters , more the logic that when they give out free bets there reliant on the punter winning to get anything back where as this way plenty could spread the £20 through the rest of the day as it's what they would if spent regardless . Hey I'm not complaining :triumphant: also the rule 3 under there T&C is nice touch so can back an early one now at good price and if not linning up can use the offer again, fair play .

 

[Istabraq]

It's a great offer, would make no sense to do this for the Grand Annual....

 

[bobbyvalentino]

Anyone got any early fancies for this? Might as well back the outsiders

 

[MadeinJapan]

I personally did very well last Cheltenham Festival betting on the Sky Bet Request a Bets, I made a very decent profit. Admittedly I bet on loads of the selections but what I like about them is that they are all covered by NRNB so if one of the selections is a non runner through injury or goes for another race all the other selections are still live so from your example Apples Jades may defect but the other 2 selections are still valid so if they place they’ll settle the result as a double, treble etc. I find the Sket RaB’s very imaginative and cover lots of races which other bookmakers don’t and well worth a punt.

Same here - best Festival yet last year & a lot of that was the RequestABet “to place” NRNB multiples. You only need a couple to come in & the week’s made.

I'll hold on to them for as long as possible...

Night before kind of thing.... plug any gaps, take a flyer...

Still too early for me, despite getting to have another go if it's a NR

 

[Big Chac]

Skybet have gone money back as cash in the first race each day.

Can someone clarify please.....does that mean that the first bet I place from today on any of the first race's, then this will count towards the promotion?
