Hi Folks,

The idea of this thread is to keep the offers for the races in one place as a sticky thread that we can easily find them instead of searching through the other threads.
I'll modify this post as we find them. We can continue to keep putting the offers in the bookie specials and i'll take them for there and put it in here. This thread is not for the daily countdown enhancements.

Supreme
Ladbrokes in the Supreme. If you back the winner, they will double your winnings with free bets up to £50. Valid to use for 24 hours.

Corals Free bet up to £25 if your first selection loses. Free bet to be credited by 12 noon the next day. Must be used within 24 hrs. Also money back free bet up to £25 if your selection falls in any Festival race.

William Hill - Start Cheltenham with a bang! We'll Double Your Winnings in the Festival opener, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Tues 13:30).
The curtain raising Supreme Novices' Hurdle always gets the festival off to a flyer. Place your first bet on the race, and if your horse wins or places (finishes in the first 3), we'll double your winnings in cash up to £100.

Every race on First day
Paddy power - those against the market leaders on the opening day will reap a maximum £10 free bet per race should the SP favourite return a winner.

First Race each day
Skybet - are offering money back as a free bet up to £20 if you back a loser in the first race EVERY DAY at the Cheltenham Festival.

First and last race each day
Betway - Free bet up to a £10 if you lose in First or Last Race each day.

Hi everyone!
New to the site so please be gentle!!
Just wondering how everyone is planning to utilise the various offers with different bookmakers in the supreme. I’m struggling to separate Getabird and Kalashnikov but trying to maximise the offers. As live alternatives at prices I think a case for smaller stakes could be made for Claimtakingforgan and Slate House. Any suggestions? Think skybet £20 - Kalashnikov PP - £10 claimtake/slate and maybe hills for getabird? Any advice welcome

I avoid short priced favorites like the plague with these types of offers. They are risk free so I see little point in backing Getabird @ 6/4 and Samcro at 4/5, when I can back Kalashnikov @ 6/1 & On The Blind Side @ 5/1. These so called 'bankers' get beat every year without fail, so why not be on the right side of the price when they do. If you get it wrong and the fav romps in then you go again the following day with the same stake. I use Kalashnikov and OTBS as examples but don't be afraid to have a crack at a horse and bigger odds.

Welcome B17, Nice to have you and dont worry bud, we only do gentle, but do get involved as much as possible as its a cracking little site with lots of nice and knowledgeable people.

Everyone's way will of course be different depending on their view of the race but personally, Im pretty in with Getabird, so my 1st race offers will be going all on Kalashnikov, although ill no doubt have some separate e/w bets outside any offers for some more interest.

Cheers bud. I do usually look to avoid favs with these offers as don’t see the point when it’s almost like a free shot at a bigger prices option. I do really like Kalashnikov and still smarting a bit from backing lto as I really fancied the horse then and for the supreme but didn’t back it at 20-25’s for this race at the same time. Just thinking there could be some value in the hills offer of doubling your cash up to £100
 
I’ll stick all the offers on Getabird (£25 Coral, £20 skybet and a tenner with Betway)

Possibly do the double winnings offer Hills ok Kilashnikov depending on the price.
 
Boylesport - Free Bet if your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd to the SP Fav in any race. Max refund £/€20. Win or win part of e/w outright singles only. Min field size required. 1st bet on each race. Free bet expires after 7 days. Free/void/antepost bets don’t qualify. T&Cs apply.

Not as jiggy as some of the others

This is my approach
 
For those planning on backing or laying off on any day of the Festival a nice concession from betfair: 0% commission. Opt in required

https://promos.betfair.com/exchange

Update: Looks like this is just on my account so maybe not an invitation to everyone at present, sorry about that, think I'm a good customer with all the arbing I have been doing these last 9 months

Really? It goes straight to it when I click on the link. It is in the top left hand box (so the first you see) on their promo page.

I wonder if the matchbook racing promotion is affecting their turnover....
 
Found another interesting offer to pin to the board...

Genting Bet (never heard of them)

https://sports.gentingcasino.com/promotions/cheltday1/

"Genting Bet have a fantastic offer to kick start your Cheltenham this year with our Day 1 free bet offer.

We're giving a £20 Free Bet on your first settled losing bet of £/€20 (£20 E/W) or more on Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival (Tuesday, 13th March).

Example: You bet £20 on the Supreme Novice Hurdle (Race 1) and win, you then place £20 on the Arkle (Race 2) and it doesn't win - we will cover your £20 losing bet from the Arkle in the form of a free bet."
 
Just tried doing the Betway offer on both the first and last race and was restricted to 89p a race, needless to say I withdrew my money and closed my account :highly_amused:

:confused: Aren't they £10 for the offer?

What an awful state of affairs to not be able to get a tenner on something.

Yep, just £10 money back if you lose for the first and last races and they restrict it to 89p, what a poor, poor company. Makes a mockery of being a 'bookmaker' really!

Ss they're likely to get "knocked over" for £80 a customer over the week if they can be bothered in free bets.

Poor show Betway. Cop on to yourselfs :p
