You sure the bigger price is not one to place and one particular one to win?

EDIT Yeah the bigger price is Shiskin place and Altior WIN

No they dropped a bollock and noticed after. They changed my bet to 6/5 and gave me a free £5 bet, I asked to cancel it and they have done.
 
Not sure where to post this so i'll just pop it in here, I currently only have two betting accounts so im going to open accounts with lots of other sites soon to take advantage of all the sign up offers before cheltenham, and im just wondering do bookies drastically improve their sign up offers before cheltenham, in which case i'll wait a little longer, or should I just go ahead and open them now?

Ive got the timeform ap, nearer the festival they show you a list of all the offers that firms are doing that helped me a bit last year, plus keep an eye out on twitter. But yeah i would say wait for nearer the time you will get things like bet 10 on the cheltenham festival and get 30 in free bets things like that
 
And sign your mum, dad bros and sisters nans grandads and neighbours cat up to skybet and take advantage of the first race offer!
 
For anyone interested... they’ve priced up Supasundae top 4 Champion Hurdle NRNB at 2 prices... 5/2 & 4/1 :stupid:
 
....if it runs this weekend, it’ll be interesting what the 100-1 on Ballyadam winning the Champion Bumper and any race at next years festival looks like on Monday.

Not sure if anyone else has had this but just seen this from Skybet. I’m a bit restricted with them anyway but may effect some people on here?

We have taken the decision to remove Best Odds Guaranteed from Money Back as Cash races.

In addition, Best Odds Guaranteed will only be available from 9am on the day of any race the promotion covers, which means we will no longer offer it pre 9am. This is to ensure we can continue to offer Best Odds Guaranteed to as many customers as possible.

Just got the same message Splinter, just a general change of strategy.
Makes sense...
 
Same here. Looks like it's a blanket ban on these offers, rather than targeting individual punters.

Yeah, here too, on multiple accounts.
 
Me too. I think it's across everyone the way that it reads.

The way that BOG has been slashed back in general recently is a real downer. I don't play much during the week but often try and do my legwork for Saturday's racing on the Friday night and often got a few bets on early.

Guess 365 will be getting the bulk of my business before 10am on day of race in future.

Have you backed it eggs? I highlighted it last week and had a point on it.

Is it not just for the offer? The money back as cash races? I'm sure they are still BOG on other races?

Correct.
What they’re saying is they won’t offer money back as cash and BOG on the same race, so the first TV race each day will not carry BOG but all other races will

Cheers Ista.

I wonder if they will go with offer 1st race of festival each day again this year.

...oh yes, I had to have a little on that.

It’s a big ‘if’, but if it’s as good as the betting suggests and scoots up in the Champion Bumper, then it’s a nice voucher to be sitting on for 12 months. If not, then it was a bit of interest.

(Edit; I note it’s into 50-1 this morning).
