Cheltenham is upon us in 6 weeks time so any tips , info , or offers  ( such as non runner = no bet etc  ) would be good to share .

Ill have at least one horse to post shortly .

Good Luck to Everybody Punting there

Best tip I can give anyone for Cheltenham is to buy "Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide" by Paul Jones

Absolutely incredible piece of work, usually available in mid February, worth 100 times more than the tenner or so it costs.

thanks ......ill look out for it

Eager beaver, I usually construct the Cheltenham 2010, 2011, thread around mid to late Feb when I start to get really excited.

Seems a long way away still.  :'(

Dynaste w/o Big Bucks in the Cleeve Hurdle tomorrow @ 5/2 is a bet. My people tell me that Pipe plans to hold it up this time round and challenge Big Bucks late. I don't by any means think he will beat the Champ but those tactics should see him reverse the form from the previous race with Five Dream and come 2nd. Mourad been off his game all season, has something to prove.

this is a cracking bet if they decide to go for 2nd place and don't try to mess with BB again. Pipe says they'll definitely hold it up today and be less positive (RP is out early tonight )

From another thread. The new one in the bumper.

Apologies Sir...The mere thought  of Cheltenham just gets me so excited too   :)  Please feel free to take over  (happy to change the thread name ) as my horse racing info is limited (Ive got one good contact from County Antrim ) so Im happy to be guided by you guys in the know !

In fact.... Ive changed the name   :)

S ome cracking racing today, fancy this kid cassidy to beat menorah at Donny, just makes me wonder if APs rushed back from his fall for this.

Fml, didn't mean it like that.

Not sure what fml means...anyway no probs, all done in good spirit with a smile on my face   :)

Top bombing kid. Nice drink with your name on it. Had a chunk

Cheers, well done.

V happy with that. They held it up as much as they could and got Big Bucks in trouble although you never really thought the winner was in doubt. Good effort.

25/1 Midnight Chase ew for the Gold Cup with Ladbrokes (nr no bet)

Loves Cheltenham, game as the come, just produced his best ever run.

Got to be some slight niggling doubts about the top 2 in the market.

Win only it's a good bet, each way, with the race very likely to cut up to just a handful of runners, it's fantastic.

He'll be 12/1 on the day of the race.

Pressures on now horneris now you've forced a thread name change.

Best of luck

Hey Horneris... Cheers for Dynaste...great price too considering the straight forecast only paid 6 -4

Nice way to christen your thread   :)

Erm do i get a mention for Kid cassidy, thats all.

Hes 14/1 with Stan James - I have been forced to open the Cheltenham wallet now as its the Camel innit and he did run a blinder today - £40ew at 25/1 invested

Hurricanefly out tomorrow, currently 15/8 for the champion hurdle. A weak race this year, maybe not any value now but hard to find anything to oppose him. Any each way thoughts on the race.

I currently have the following...


Albert Bartlett
Sea of Thunder 1pt ew @ 20s -- was going like a train when falling at the last over C&D in December, with the subsequent 1st and 2nd both having won since. Only 5th in reappearance at Leopardstown but not sure if the ground or the trip really to liking that day - put in a clear round of jumping and was eased up well before the line. C&D form counts for a lot imo, and with Boston Bob and Fingal Bay likely headed to other races would expect this to shorten up to around the 12/1 mark.
 
Triumph Hurdle
Dildar 2pt Win @ 12s -- Punted this (like I'm sure many others) in advance of today's race at Taunton - noises from the yard and in particular Dan Skelton very bullish indeed. Would need to show a lot of improvement on today's run to even make the frame at the festival, but I'm holding onto the hope that he'll come on for the run and his jumping will be sharper in the future (absolute must for the Triumph). On the flat he ran to a few lengths of Pour Moi, so he's not short of a turn of foot. Ruby seemed positive about the horse after today's ride.
 
Supreme
Darlan 1pt ew @ 20s -- Nicked the 20s from Billy Hills in the minutes proceeding his oh-so-easy win over the previously highly regarded Jump City. The horse is four from four, and though he might not have met stiff competition yet I feel he has a lot more in the tank than we've seen - certainly the nature of his win last out would suggest so. Price movements will be largely dependent on if/when he runs in the next couple of weeks. Has an entry at Newbury on 11th Feb where he'd be running against Zarkandar which would be an interesting yardstick, though believe Henderson thinks he's been 3lb overdone in the weights by the handicapper so might not run him there.  
 
Ryanair
Medermit 1pt ew @ 20s -- Alan King's seem to be going well at the moment, and this horse has plenty of experience round Cheltenham. I saw him get done by Quantitativeeasing in the big December handicap. Let's not forget he had 11-5 on his back that day and beat Calgary Bay (10-7) about 12 lengths...Since then Calgary Bay is 2/2.
 
Gold Cup
Grands Crus 1pt ew @ 8s (NRNB) -- I love the horse to bits, and part of me hopes he doesn't yet go for the Gold Cup. This said, more than happy to be on him NRNB. He clocked a time c3secs quicker than Kauto over the same distance and fences at Kempton on Boxing Day, without being overly extended. Just think he has a massive engine and jumps nicely. Very classy horse. Proven at Cheltenham and will win whatever race he runs in imo.

Great post sir...Ill be having a go on these

thanks for the heads up

Nice write up Ed, never knew about Grand crus's time, no wonder he's only 8's

Hills have 33/1 on all 4 champion races being won by the current champions at Chelters.

Big Bucks for World Hurdle
Hurricane Fly for Champion Hurdle
Sizing Europe for Champion Chase
Long Run for Gold Cup


worth a punt?

Anymore ante post bets the shrewdies on here can tip up?

Want to get some more bets on ASAP, thread seems to have slowed a touch!!

The prices are shit so far, think the bookies are wary because trainers seem to be keeping a lot up their sleeve this year.

An acca at best current oddschecker prices is 30/1 so it really depends if you fancy them or not.....not much value in my book in those individual prices especially this far out when something may happen to one or more fo them.  I assume it isn't NR = no bet

It seems a fair price but it was 66/1 before Hurricane Fly's run last week (in which he was 4/5). I wish I had some 66s now.

really think grandouet can lay it down to the fly, might not win but cannot see anything else giving it as much of a race.

Looks like there's some great eac way thievery to be had inthe ante post market.

My offering:

Each Way Lucky 15 with betfred

Binocular 10/1 Champion Hurdle
Voler La Vedette 4/1 Mares Hurdle
Finians Rainbow 6/1 Champion Chase
Midnight Chase 16/1 Gold Cup

Other possibilities: Peddlars Cross in the Arkle or Dynaste in World Hurdle

Which option is best here plz ? Dynaste in WH, 12/1 e/w on fred, 3.5 tbp on betfair or w/o big bucks 6.4 ? I was thinking since Big Bucks is nailed on it's better to back him in the tbp market than e/w ?

Never done a Lucky 15 before lol, have put those 4 selections in, £1 lucky 15 ew costs £30 and returns £9473.88 ? Is that correct ? Obv I know we don't expect all four to win and are looking to bink places. Have I worked it out right that if all four just placed I'd get just under £200 back ?

Hi Brent, Do you still keep in touch with Shinners?

Hi mate, No I don't but my Uncle works alongside him and is v good friends with him.

Last time I saw him was at the Knaresborough Cheltenham festival preview evening nearly a year ago now!

buzzing guys, 5 weeks away

topped up on my grandouet e/w bet and backing it heavily w/o the fly. Hold very few positions unusually at this stage

It never hit me that you were related to Richard.He is some judge. I used to work opposite him for a while.

The reason I asked is Shinners is doing the Knaresborough preview again this year and I fancied going but I have realised it's the first day on the Masters so can't make it.

ahh right. Last years was really good, Paul Jones was there who is different gear to most and is again.

I can't go either anyway as have a tennis semi final that night (Thursday 8th).

What a clown I am. Masters is April the 8th and the preview is March 8th. Paul jones is there again, will pass on what he fancies if I do make it.

Has Grand Crus been pulled out of Gold cup? 10's with WH  11/4 for RSA  so i'm tipping theyve decided to go for sun alliance.

ive bet colour squadron 16/1 ew for the supreme novices and cue card e/w for the arkle. Im piling as mch as i can on grandouet 4/1 w/o the fly e/w for the champion hurdle

anyone know of any preview nights for the festival coming up. The best line up seems to be plumpton but i aint going that far

paul jones and couple of others from wetherbys do them all (~12) and then write them up.... 10nuggs or so gets you all the updates

Anyone help with this please ? Just wanna no if I'm right on returns, thanks.

Don't get on it at this stage Monda, Colm Murphy commented today that Voler La Vedette will go for the World Hurdle rather than the Mares.

I'm not totally enthused about the chances of Binocular either although its a game of opinions.

Lastly, despite being a big Dynaste fan I think that the w/o Big Bucks market is looking pretty competitive with the Irish looking determined to come over and have a go at Big Bucks, running Voler La Vedette (as above), So Young and Mikael D'Haguenet so I might even give that a swerve for the time being.

Patience Raymondo.

Haha, ok, cheers.

more of grandouet 4/1 w/o the fly e/w at hills

added Garde Champetre 8/1 e/w hills age might be catching up but might have one last hurrah and 8/1 solid e/w bet nonetheless

hope this fker does the biz.

The New One is entered in the 3.30 Newbury tomorrow!!

didnt make final declaration

I make your returns for 4 winners at £11,589.07 taking place odds at 1/5th and £11,686.20 taking place odds at 1/4.

Your place returns for all 4 winners would be £155.37(1/5th) and £252.50(1/4).

You should d/l this link and it does it all for you in seconds mate, very handy tool when too hard on the brain.

http://www.free-bet-calculator.co.uk/

Cheers.

Loving this bet now.

Long Run isn't in the same form he was in last season (not impossible he comes good on the big day of course). Beating Burton Port half a length (probably should have lost if Gerraghty had been more positive on BP) giving 10 pounds simply isn't good enough to win a Gold Cup in most years.

It's more than possible that all the form with Kauto Star this season is dubious.

Hope Grand Crus stays away frm this race!

Long Run out to 5/2 after that. Think Burton would have beaten Long run if they were different stables. Still no one knows for sure about Grand Crus. Get on Montbazon in next.

siiiiiiiiiiigh, johnson seemed confident on squadron before the fall

Aargghhh, never backed it, went for a sauna and forgot all about it.

reactions to friday/saturday and the bookies reactions?

 e/w baile anrai national hunt cup (laddies) 16s
 e/w toostrong neptune 25/1 (365)
 e/w the new one 16/1 (ladds) bumper
 e/w monksland 14/1 neptune

added these. Already bet the new one but topped up.

thread been really slow compared to last year. My weatherby's betting guide that keef recommended should be arriving soon. Going down tuesday/wednesday and maybe for the whole week, as usual we have left it late so staying a bit out of dodge.

really want to get stuck into grands crus but waiting for NRNB for the RSA because have a sneaky feeling they may take a shot at the gold cup

ffs something obv up with grandouet fmlfmlfmlfml

Sure you've seen this by now but: http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=racing/12/02/21/RACING_Grandouet.html&BID=465

Hope he's back in time for you.

FUCKING MARV. gg £500 on grandouet

Have added the following:

Supreme
Steps to Freedom 2pt Win @ 9s - Heard this is highly fancied at home (which you would expect for something at the head of a highly competitive market). Had a number of the leading Supreme contenders easily beaten in the Aintree bumper (where he gave Montbazon 6lbs). Has been off the track for a few months but I have no doubt Jessie Harington will have him 'match fit' on the day. She's swerving the blow he was due to have at Dundalk, wouldn't be surprised if they are keeping under wraps in advance of an opening day gamble.


On the other runners things seem to be shaping nicely in the most part (touch wood) but +EV is only theoretical and worth a lot less than cash in one's pocket. Medermit has been tipped up by Pricewise and the Timeform Jury which has led to the price falling to c8/1 and the Albert Bartlett is cutting up (Boston Bob's target remains tbc) with Sea of Thunder now 10/1. Darlan fell at Newbury in the big handicap hurdle but, assuming he's come out of that ok I'm relatively bullish. McCoy chose to ride Darlan over Get me Out of Here, which finished second to Zarkandar off level weights. Darlan was tanking when it fell and, assuming it found a bit when asked, would, by the logic of AP's choice, been right up there getting just 5lbs from Zarkandar.

Grands Crus - Pipe keeping cards close to chest but think 8/1 NRNB remains a fair bet. Dildar - runs tomorrow in the Adonis where we'll have everything crossed he can come on for his last run and mix it with a number of other smart Triumph entries.

Best of luck to all,

Ed

i have colour squadron and midnight game in the supreme. In its last race squadron fell when it had got the better of vulcanite, but seemed to not want to get to the front too soon and whether it would have beaten montbazon is a guessing game. I do like how it travelled through the race though. Pretty gutted about doing my money on grandouet as i love this horse and think it has so much raw speed and a change of gear that at 4/1 fit ew w/o the fly was a bet to nothing. With regards the race now, ill be looking to bet zarkander w/o the fly or in a match bet with binocular i think.

ive added, Baile Anrai for the national hunt cup at 16s and i really like monksland for the neptune at 14's

re: Montbazon King's are certainly flying at the moment, whether this form will hold 'til the festival remains to be seen.

Disappointed for you re: Grandouet, agree it was a bet to nothing if lining up - sigh. Zarkandar won cosily in the end at Newbury - incred ride by Ruby. Obv Ruby will be on the Fly come the big day, but given Zarkandar won the Triumph last year with Jacob on no major concerns there.

re: Binocular - one just never knows. I try to stay away from any bet specifically sensitive to the thing to be honest.

Monksland price gone now unfortunately. Speculation is he will be Pricewise's Neptune selection...

the weatherby's betting guide has arrived but i missed the delivery so have to wait until tommorow to pick up. Looking forward to getting teeth stuck into that. I HAVE FESTIVAL FEVER NOW

Just booked us into the chapel spa on tuesday morning 10am for a full 55min swedish body massage, oioi, clear minds and all, £48 each bargains

You are on drugs if you think Colour Squadron was going to win the Newbury race it fell in.

What days are you going Trigg?

we are travelling down tuesday 6am arrive at our hotel (not in chelts) str8 to cheltenham 10am ---> races---> on the town    3am back to hotel ----> sleep hotel  check out but leave bags at hote, mate driving to course wednesday, then we drive back after. This is unless we
decide to stay the week

Have now added...

Champion Bumper
Moscow Mannon 1pt Win @ 10/1 - Scoring nil points for originality here and not a race I know much about (starting well!) but have read some fairly compelling stats to suggest he should be there or thereabouts on the day. He's posted decent/market leading RPR and TS figures and I like the fight he showed at Galway last summer. Though people may look for 'improvers' I think there's a lot to be said for a horse with proven form in a race where hype often spirals out of all control, so MM has my bumper £££s.

Bet365 are now NRNB for the festival

Any idea if Sous Les Cieux will go for the Supreme Novices or the Neptune?

Does anyone fancy doing a preview night, haydock this thursday looks tasty!

PP have a money-back special up to £100 if Sprinter Sacre wins the Arkle which is great for Al Ferof fans.

great offer, im a big pedlers fan here

always make my head spin those offers... think i read that they have a sick record when they offer them aswell... ie jolly gets turned over

Some Early Thoughts on the Tuesday...

Supreme. I've got Galileo's Choice @ 14s which has been a long term fancy of my own, backed Midnight Game @ 16s mainly due to vibes coming from Paul Jones/Segal. Both should improve for the better ground over here and GC has a whole lot of flat speed having won a group 3 in September.

I've also heard that Tetlami has a ridiculous amount of talent but they can't get him to put it into practice without an absurd amount of hard work. Andrew Tinkler said he had 10 times more ability than he has shown so far.

In the Arkle I keep backing Blackstiarmountain from prices ranging from 42 to 65 on betfair although I've forgotten why. I do think it could run a good race tho if the early ground is good underfoot and the horse shows its absolute best but would obviously need a very poor showing from the principles. Could be more of a place play on the day if everything is right.

Champion Hurdle. Hurricane Fly is the nap of the festival even allowing for Quevega. Binocular will lack the pace for this race nowadays and prefers softer ground than it should get, Zarkandar is now on antibiotics having come out of Newbury spluttering so that can’t be ideal for his chances.
I backed Oscars Well EW @ 20s a long time ago but I'm not too keen. I like to think my EW bets have a chance of winning but theres no reason he can get within 5 lengths of The Fly.

Rock on Ruby interests me @ 15/2 EW in the w/o The Fly market, as he loves the track and should have beaten Binocular at Kempton. Just the worry that the trip could be on the sharp side. The price was 9/1 a couple of weeks back but I wanted to wait to hear what Nicholls had to say and about riding plans. Now I will miss the price again because I want to wait to see which of the Irish protaganists will line up in this race before deciding whether its a bet or not. So I won't end up being on anyway in all probability.

Some gutting news yesterday in that Fists of Fury which I backed for the NH Hunt Chase @ 14s before seeing it come into 8/1 suffered a tendon injury on the gallops and will miss the festival.  :(

Good stuff edgascoigne being on Darlan @ 20s. Got a feeling the horse might prefer flat tracks but couldn't rule it out as could be something special and McManus has been hammering it last couple of days so its safe to say that he got out of his fall at Newbury absolutely fine.

Nice one Brent, on Tetlami @ 16's.

Fair enough. Didn't really tip it up tho as can't tip up 3 horses in the same race and fancy Galileo's more.

Might have some more to say later.

That was only 8's at best now so wasn't sure if it was still a good bet. Will lump on Hurrican Fly.

Cheers. Nice write up on yours - disappointing re: Fists of Fury. Perils of Antepost as we all well know but still frustrating. I'm trying to get my head around the fact that they seem to be seriously considering sending Medermit to the GC. I mean really...

on simonsig massive NRNB for the supreme at 6/1

really interested in kazlain for whichever handicap this pipe horse goes for

I've got Trifolium in the Supreme.

oh dear, betfair doesn't think its running.

Thanks for tipping a 1.88 shot brent

I doubt I'll be backing it, not my style.

eh?  Ffs,  I'd hard studied that one, just forgot to make sure it was running lol

You backed Sea the stars a few years ago at some flat race, I remember you raving about how you were a genius picking it out

What you fancy for Cheltenham Linux?

Just a few outsiders im pondering at the mo, i'll help you out nearer the time

Kauto taken a tumble this morn only 50/50 for the GC, unconfirmed

Confirmed :(

I'm on Tetlami @ 20's ... Thought the kempton form would turn out to be strong.  Vulcanite got beat since but I read the trainer thought he is alot better than he showed  that day  so still think could turn out to good form

If Kauto is out it would be a bit of a sickener but very good news for my each bets on Weird Al and Midnight Chase (that one advised by Camel).

backed Weird Al this morning  ::)

Abs gutted if Kauto doesn't run :( I should pile on Kauto now right nrnb ?

No mate. Put no money on Kauto round Cheltenham this year whatever happens.

Haha, but if I was planning to bet on him then should I take 4's now or do you think he will drift quite a bit more over next day or so ? Why you think he won't win ?

Think he can out gallop and get away from horses like Long Run, Weird Al etc. on flat tracks but won't be charging up the hill at Cheltenham with the others.

Be very interesting to see which race Grand Crus goes for.

If he goes for the Gold Cup I might be tempted to have another look at Join Together for the RSA.

This news might just sway them to run Crus in the gold cup, i can't see it getting up the hill over another 2f. Like Bobsworth for RSA, 2nd to Crus last time and proven Cheltenham form.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agjp1iFFSGk

Mark will be hoping Kauto makes it!

Hes performing it live on the morning line

mark and punters of kauto have done their dicks

If you back on antepost and ur horse doesn't run do you lose you dough?

yes, im getting my cloak on and saying that the best priced firms about grandouet and kauto are giving henderson and nicholls a drink soon

I've had one or two ante post punts but now the weights are out the punting can begin in earnest!  I wonder what The Camel fancies, he's been keeping his cards very close to his chest. Do you know of a certain handicap plot Keith?

I'm attending the Festival on the Friday.
Will be my first time at the races, so any tips will be much appreciated.

The only bet I've had in a handicap is Ted Spread 12/1 in the County and 11/1 in the Martin Pipe. NRNB.

This is definitely plotted up by the Cheltenham hcap specialists., but the price has gone now.

Although I bet in most of the handicaps, most of my big action is in the non handicaps at Cheltenham.

Whereas usually I mostly bet in handicaps.

Backed Tetlami again for Supreme today, wont be 16/1 on day and think is gone under radar a bit... The stable obviously like Darlan but crashing falls aren't what I call 'a good prep' and there a good vibes for tetlami from some of the stuff I've read.

When do the horses get confirmed for the races?

11am on the day before.

Thanks,

Was hoping for this week sometime :D

KAUTO STAR, I WANT 2 USE MY ONE TIME NOW OFFICIALLY, GET THERE!

ffs henderson going for the neptune with simonsig, so many great judges and stable jockey urging him to go the supreme route, hes the boss though. Least i got NRNB his profile is so sick for the supreme sigh

How is LONG RUN not mentioned as the winner in this year's gold cup? - Last yr, my friend's nephew told him that it had a great chance to win it, he backed it @ like 33/1 months before or something, I got like 7/2 I think :-( however, I did get the straight forecast with long run & Denman which bumped it up a fair bit..

Can't see anything else beating it this year tbh.. The ONLY thing I would be worried about, would be the jockey, he has spazzed out on the horse in previous races, if he rides him properly I can't see anything other than victory.

my advice would be to bet small for the meeting, then that race lump on everything u have and get out of it for the next 6 months...  HOLD ONE TIME haaha

Hills are 5/4 on the Fly today, £100 max in shops, great price!

printing money

cba to get out of bed but i might just do the rounds later

Can get 100 online as well btw

they give me £20

Subtle

this offer on all day for sure?

4-5 now :(

online, but the offer in shops is all day right?

sigh just till 1pm apparently missed the boat

Mate just posted this up on the other forum I post on

Looks like next friday could be a potentially very good or very bad day.

Advise you all have a few bob on Master of Arts today non runner no bet for the County Hurdle. I think you can still get some 20s.

It will be Pipes only representative in the Imperial cup on Saturday(no prices as yet), and the intention is to run again in the County. If it wins on Sat it will be sub 5-1 next friday.

Its not been over the sticks for a couple of years but is in superb nick at home. Enough said methinks. GL

It's 10s on Paddy Power for the Imperial Cup race on Saturday fwiw

had a ton at 10s for saturday

Must be a buzzer antepost, even ladbrokes cut my bet

and £50 for the county hurdle at 16s both laddies

I've done 25ew for the County and 30win/10place for Saturday so hopefully it cleans up!!

I've normally been sleeping everytime they post a winner the last month or so :(

its not boldie's forum is it?

Don't be daft boldie's selections are subscription only.

Peddlers Cross now going for the jewson , instead of the arkle.

Haha no KrackedKings

Loving this for Al Ferof on PP offer

Further additions from relatively recently...

Mares' Hurdle
Kentford Grey Lady 1pt e/w @ 16s - Surely value in the place part of this bet and a confirmed runner. Highly unlikey to get past Quevega (the clue is in the price) but happy with 4/1 for the place part of the bet.

County Hurdle
Master of Arts 1pt e/w @ 15/1 (had to spread stake around) NRNB - Know nothing about it myself but someone on here tipped it up and anything with this profile from chez Pipe going for a race like this I'm happy to take a double digit price.

Albert Bartlett
Boston Bob 1pt Win @ 9/2 - Nicked a bit of 9/2 with WH this morning - they're not NRNB which is why they're top of the market but looks to me like they're leaving the Neptune to Simonsig and hoping to confirm supremacy over my other fancy Sea of Thunder in the AB. If he goes for this race would expect him closer to 9/4-5/2 on the day.

im loathe to back horses e/w which i think have virtually no chance of winning the race, prob gonna play something in the w/o market for this.

added felix yongor  for the pertemps @ 25s
                                     albert bartlett @ 25s

Can't argue with that tbf.

On that subject, thoughts on Rock on Ruby best price 7/1 w/o the Fly? Also would've thought that the 7/4 about it effectively being in the first 4 might be big, even in a competitive race?

yeah i like this bet. i know brent smashed into overturn w/o the fly at 14s yesterday. Can see Rock on ruby staying on for a place for sure, think im just gonna look for another fly offer at around 5/4

Best price 5/1 for Saturday, must have been smashed in Today.

Yer proper plunge for this, 10/1 for county hurdle, be hopes connections are on. Sure someone put Tedspread up on here aswell.

Think this is a great bet,only11/2 no now but still makes some appeak as a bet to nothing... WILL hit the frame imo, great EW double potential also if you can get something to g o with it

Hopefully it will smash the Imp on Saturday and pay for my weekend in Clacton!!

Nobody binked u that clacton weekend yet?

A mate has done me a favour and won't take any money for helping me out.
I am going to put a few Cheltenham bets on for him as thanks.
Was thinking a "likely treble" - The Fly, Sprinter Sacre and ??? and then Decent price EW treble or maybe just some bets on some longer priced horses.
If any one has any suggestions then feel free to post them, as it's for a mate for fun *value* isn't essential

Nah I've missed the winners of late and backed the losers #runninggood

#Kauto: trainer @PFNicholls tells #BBC5Live in interview to be broadcast 8-50 this evening that horse pretty much 100% again after fall

Get in!

http://www.tomdickandharry.co.uk/flat-caps/failsworth-bold-houndstooth-flat-cap.html

taken a bit of a flyer with Degas Art for the putney. Meets most of the trends smack on, and lucinda's stable are firing at present 40/1 will do me

we may have a problem, just heard ted spread is beating zarkander on the gallops, had to wade in with a saver here.

i got a really nice booklet on the festival from Blue Sq today - do many people get this sort of thing? Not like Im a huge punter

I got one from will hill yesterday

+1, and a free £25 bet from them which is very rare

I'm shopping around for good value deals for Cheltenham, a lot of bookies are competing for business.

Corals are doing put a tenner on on line and get a £25 free bet - so I've played that with Rock on Ruby e.way and Riverside Theatre to win in the ryanair. 

Paddy Power are doing open a phone account and put £50 on and get a £100 bet. Might play that with Sizing Europe and Big Bucks (playing it safe) next week.

Plus i'm already on Sprinter Sacre at 6/4 in the arkle.

If you haven't got a Ladbrokes acct yet, wait until Tuesday til opening.

They often have cracking opening offers on the first day of the Festival.

One year, bet £100 on day 1 and get a free £100 on the other days.

Is it the weakest Gold Cup for a number of years?

I think it would be unfair to say that it is a weak renewal when you have a young and possibly still-improving horse coming back to defend it's title, and an older former champion showing it's best form for some years.

It would however be fair to say IMO that it is the weakest GC in terms of emerging second-season 'chasers although if Grands Crus were to take it's chance the whole complexion of the race would change.

Just got Mark Howards Cheltenham update, will keep you posted. I know his banker bet is sprinter sacre but thats not pulling any trees up.

Just played TS in a dirty related contingency double on WH

Hills are going 6/1 Master of Arts at 8:30am tomorrow

Will Imperial Cup have a big effect on County Hurdle odds? Is a good run all that is needed and the fact your horse may not win doesn't matter too much as next week is the main event or (as an example) if Ted Spread beat Master of Arts would one shorten and one drift dramatically?

depending on the manner yes. If one of the the two are lapped then they wont run next week

Currently on a mission to turn £20 into £2k.

Started off with a £20 win on dovers hill 8/1 earlier and ended up with £600 in my account.

Just lumped the lot on hurricane fly 4/6.

10/11 with pp

Good luck, think its nailed on along with sprinter sacre on 1st day. Do you use oddschecker? if not you should 4/5 available

2/1 Grand Crus for the RSA NRNB will Hills is huge imo.

No just been backing on ladbrokes. Going big on big bucks and sprinter sacre if the fly wins!

Sprinter Sacre is before the Fly. GL though, think the Fly will be too good again.

I would like an account that paid me 29/1 on 8/1 shouts.  How bad do you have to be to be given such an acocunt?

I'm the worst.

Will have to reload the account and lump on sacre then

Not sure its NRNB Keith, worth checking before you empy the clip :)

I managed to nick a little 20/1 Paintball NRNB in the County Hurdle after it won today. Fingers crossed.

sick jedi stealth work.

thousand stars out of the champion hurdle, now im just on overturn w/o fly ew at 14s and gonna punt he fly wherever it goes evs first

Hurricane Fly is currently 11/10 with Fred.

Gone now, but some lucky peeps got on :)

Added £200 win on sprinter sacre today. Along with the £600 on fly.

Got £100ew on The New One @ 16/1 as well as £25ew on master of arts @ 12/1

The size of your bets has increased startlingly Mr Girgy.

Didn't know being a taxi driver paid so well.

Spin ups keef.

Obv coz he is not spending as much on food these days!

Only six runners in the Arkle for lucky EW thieves :)

Ladbrokes best industry price about every favourite at the festival till 11am

who have they pulled?

All the principals still run, it's just handy if you're on EW 1/4 1-2-3 ante-post in a six-runner race.

Just added another £100 on sprinter sacre evens, £100 hurricane fly evens and £100 on big bucks 4/7 on ladbrokes

you're going ballistic griggy

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :)

Grand Crus out of Gold Cup and heading for the RSA Chase

something tells me that tizzard will go off too fast on cue card and maybe sprinter will track him and go a good pace also, (he may well still me able to win) as long as blackstairmountain doesn't get out paced i can see him coming with a late run up the hill. At least that was the dream.

Someone tell girgy that Coral's say that if you get to one of their shops tomorrow at 9am "you will get laid".

nh wp

Just added £70 Al Ferof @ 11/4 with Paddy - great offer I think and I  confident will stay on stronger up the Hill.

Then I guess it's just about how much to wade into the Fly...had a bottle on Spirit of Shankley in last at Stratford ap may just spin that up.

Was chuckling at an ad on the radio today, one of the bookies (WH I think) was guaranteeing best odds tomorrow morning, but only between 8:30 and 9am, and only in stores, not online.

Made me chuckle with Laddies offering best odds until 11am today and PP refunding bets if Sprinter Sacre wins etc

david williams been on the ATR preview saying that laddies 12pm-1pm on every day are best industry price on the championship race of that day. Evs minimum fly tommorow shops, phone, online

If these bets get there I'm gonna get laid anyway.

like it girgy :)

Just got an email from will hill, they are doing Darlan 7/1 in the Supreme Novices Hurdle.

Is this worth putting the lot on Darlan EW? Or just taking a bit on the win?

sorry if this has been discussed

What is the view on the PP Arkle offer, bets refunded if you back something apart from Sprnter Sacre, and it wins?

a catch somewhere?

I like Cue Card at the prices, you see...

No catch I dont think, get stuck in and make the most of it!

I was trying to work out motive, as it appears to be a crazy offer... I guess if they think its a shoe in, then its not a bad way of breaking even given that majority of business with them will be on other runners?!... Keith or Redarmi will no doubt be able to tell you exactly what they up to... might just be good old fashioned loss leader

I was thinking....early race; gets people to deposit.... even if they only get their money back they are more likely to do it in on rest of the festival than snap withdraw(although that may be bs as they offer it in shop also)

I believe you're only allowed to back one selection to prevent an arb situation and you're only allowed £100 as a refund, but apart from that, no catch, it makes every other horse massively EV+. If you want you can work out the true EV+ of every horse by looking at Betfair.

It is certainly a loss leader yes, you'd have to be incredibly incompetent as a bookie to think this would still make their book on the race EV! As a side note though, I do know of one (now bust) bookie who offered out 1/3 ew odds on some big races at Cheltenham a few years back, with the decision-makers seemingly unaware of just how bad an offer this was from an EV perspective, much to the chagrin of the traders - even with super low limits it was easy to rack up some decent £EV with zero effort.

Offering money back if he wins probably saves people from lumping on it as they look for better prices, could save them money perhaps?

*Could* yes, from an EV (in terms of this one race, obv ignoring business reasons) though it's terrible.

This

GL Girgy.

ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Balls.

Yeah there is no upside to the PP offer for them except having your money in their account on the week you are probably most likely to bet.  I pretty much always back the second favourite in this spot blind.

Definitely win only.

Hills are 1/4 1,2,3 which makes it a terribad ew race.

Skybet 1/4 1,2,3,4,5 however is a different matter!

Thanks, might put some on in the morning

still they won't lay much keith. Spk to leknave if you want a skybet bet on

Hills are refunding all Bets if the finish 2nd if you bet via the Racing Post app or RP mobile site to a max £50 stake

I managed to get a whole £30 on Al ferof with Paddy Powers which suggests their festival limits are about 60x those of their regular limits.

is he pp bet only for first time punters with them?

If anyone wants more on Al Ferof with PP I've got £50 spare

I got £70 on.....happy to check again if you want as well.

Added £200 The Fly

£1ew Lucky 31 for entertainment value

1.30 Montbazon EW
2.40 Our Mick EW
4.00 Unvle Junior EW
4.40 Kentford Grey Lady EW
5.15 Bless The Wings EW

Maximum stake for this selection is £1,000.00 Stake £1,000.00 Clear Stake

I can get £1k ew with sky

Excited/nervous.

On the rough end of a 5 hour study session, tired.

Buzzing about tomorrow. Going to rise about half 8 (if I can get any sleep at all), check the prices on betfair, shower then stroll down to the shop, buy an rp and some bread. Make some egg on toast and a cup of tea and enjoy morning line (which I have sky +ed). Going to be heaven.

Biggest Fancies tomorrow are Galileo's Choice @ 14s AP, Overturn w/o The Fly EW @ 16s, Maljimar EW @ 12s & Terre Du Vent w/o Quevega EW @ 12s.

Smallest Fancies are all the handicap darts that I've thrown. Bottman @ 60s in the 3rd is the most speculative, I like Mics Delight and Charminster in the last but both handicaps are absolute minefields.

Backed fucking shed loads of horses.

You will need some eggs too met, we are out.

Picked some up from my Dads mate, the hens and ducks have been laying well, got like 8 of each.

Was that before or after you banged each and every one of them?

wtf, where are all mine gone?

I though wilbert the hen was eaten by a fox?

That was Henrietta, Wilbert is fine.

I will take it if you don't mind Mark?

I never usually get excited for Cheltenham probably cos I'm shit at picking winners.

But this year for some reason im really looking forward to it, got a load of bets on my biggest being a 20 quid EW. I've also backed The Camel's EW lucky31.

I'm off work on Wednesday so Ill probably be having even more bets on that day.

Happy punting.

not long nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVPhnExZgR0

If The Camels EW Lucky 31 cops they'll be running for cover.....we are all on.

Ok done m8 £50 @ 11/4

Why do they have such random max bets?

I could get 91.64 on this but I can get £180ew on Brent's bet Overturn w/o Fly

Couldnt resist Camel's EW Lucky 31

Good luck us !

Keith is probably better to talk to this now but it is probably best to leave Al Ferof off now if you haven't aready got it in because the race has cut up to six runners so there are now only two places so nothing like as good as it was.

Weird bet alert.

Had a look at some of my ante post bets on VC and for some reason I have a fiver each way on little josh @50s, I have absolutely no idea why I backed this horse.

Probs coz of this muggins: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=56596.msg1498566#msg1498566

If this doesn't get you in the mood nothing will

Yep, that's the one!

buzzing setting off in 20 mins, will be posting pics on facebook all day weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

When I say Chelt you say enham, CHELT.. Finally here, woooohoooo. Having a break from not betting and gonna get the mortgage paid. Let's gogogogogo.

This.

Replace Al Ferof with either something in the RSA or the Albert Bartlett.

First Lieutenant or Mount Benbulen would be my suggestions.

Have a great day

Wiiiiiiii

Hope everyone has a ball.

Currently only have my £5 free ladbrokes bet on Tetlami! #ballin

Going to bank to see how much they will give me for other bets! off all day on "study leave" that was well planned.....

Got so many bets for today I just cant wait!!

Biggest bet is on Al Ferof (thanks camel) @ 11/2 E/W

Also gone big on hurricane fly with other bets most have been mentioning on here and on Tikay's thread.

I can't tell you how excited I am.  Booked the week off work and am itching to get going!!

Work up this morning at 7 got myself the racing post and watched morning line with a cuppa trying to emulate my hero Brent Horner.  If Al Ferof comes in I will be "pressing up" on hurricane fly.

Lets GOGOGOGOGO

hahaha Sov.

I think I've lost it. I've just backed Mon Mome ew in the JLT @ 66s.

That is despite no horse aged 11 or older ever being placed in the race from 36 attempts.

oh well, trends have gotta be broken sometime.

Tally Em Up massively overpriced for the Cross Country.

On

Love nothing more than digging thru big runner handicaps and betting a few at decent prices.

Main each way bet is  Magnanimity in the 14.40, was too big this morning on its Chelters form last year, can easily ignore it's latest form trotting round in small fields on bad ground, today is totally different thing. had a little Baille Annai in the same race.

also bet Steps of freedom in the first with a smaller bet Dylan Ross.

Al Ferof win

In the last I liked Bless the Wings and at a bigger price Harpsy Cord.

Will also have the easy double on Hurricane Fly and Quevega.

several each way trixies and an each way Lucky 15 for good measure too, throw in a Placepot and I am ready to go.

Also had to double my dads bet, who is visiting for the week. He is called Mick, was watching Cinderella with the kids yesterday and my mum has grey hair.

His each way yankee therefore consists of

Cinders and Ashes
Our Mick
Kentford grey lady
Mics Delight

I called him a knobhead for picking his selections like a girl...then doubled the bet just in case.  :)up

good luck everyone, lets hope we get a few tales of joy between us.

Bank gave me money so we are on:

1.50  Tetlami
2.05  Al Ferof
2.40  Baile Anais
3.20  Binocular
4.00  Sizing Austrailia

Lucky 31 and combination EW 4 Folds! need to use my one time today as its all going on day 1!

Placepot hammered too for a running interest!

Good luck all! keep the selections coming!

• Specifically set some money aside for cheltenham punting
• Set approx daily total stake of 30 % of the above
• Have 90% of it in play by noon on day 1

Need some winners....

can I watch this online somewhere?

tvcatchup.com is all uk tv channels live

Bugbear of the day

Why, when one goes into a shop and hands over his 50p Lucky 31 costing £16.50, does the nice lady behind the counter say "that's £16.50 invested, sir?" and looks to me to hand over the readies. Its' punted, not invested.

Paddy Power Racing ‏ @pphorseracing

Looking at our big Special, if Sprinter Sacre wins we'll be refunding about £2 million. If Al Ferof wins we'll pay out about £5 million.

Are you onnas well tighty ?

Galileos Choice 12/1 AP and Tetlami 12/1 in the 1st

gl everyone!

Cheltenhammmmmmmmmm is here again!

Ive also bet the 11 or more Irish winners at 11/4.

lies

bollox

Placepot survival but nothing else to take out of that!

haha oioi bobbys dad!

think mine came about last.

Your Dads having a good start. If picking selections like that make him a girl well you can chop my bits off!

The lot going on our Mick.

Shrewd investment, Phil.

My Cheltenham started with a fat finger mistake and ending up with 10x what I wanted on Montbazon e/w and only realising as they turned for home.  Luckily 1/4 first four!!!!

hours of study nil, Watching Cinderella 1

he even had the cheek to rod me as it won and said' who's a knobhead now eh'

Lol quality gl Bobbys dad!!!

tx mate

gl fella ;)

ROFL

For once I believe them.

20,000 people having £100 bets on sucha good offer doesn't seem impossible by any stretch of the imagination.

Sigh Al Ferof

Sigh with 3 places paid we get 4th...

at least it was never going to win, hitting the fence or not. fml..

CH4 pics are about 6secs behind live for anyone dabbling with the idea of trading or playing in-running

I give in.  9/2 Al Ferof.  Win portion back if 2nd to the odds-on jolly.  Half the field can place.  Should be buying money.

Would have taken 3rd

Sigh

Wish I done menorah last week; newbie here didnt expect all the runners to pull out :-(

The Al Ferof ew bet was abs brilliant value, that was some beat really. 

Winner and a second first two selections, freerolling rest of day, guess its downhill from now on

+1 - close to bet of the season for me....they get beat sometimes though.

Wiiiiii £545.45 lumped on quevega @ 4/9

Also added another monkey on the fly @ 5/6

lets try again!

Quantitativeeasing 12/1 and Our Mick 16/1 e/w.

Early winnar plz.

Ballin!!

GLGL

On Our Mick gl

al ferof completely outclassed, hittin fence or not

^^^ 160-rated chaser and Cheltenham Festival winner was 'outclassed'?

on the day / vs the winner obv.

absolutely, but at 11/2 or 9/2 each way, three places paid in a field of six when the two outsiders are 20/1 and 100/1 it was massive each way value in the bet put up by Keith given the Paddy Power offer too.

Red is right , even big value doesn't always win

yh, pretty ul

come on Our Mick.

Looked possible for a bit!

yeah gave it a go.

Came back on bridle and travelled......big sigh, but I'll take a place at this stage

meh, profit. Good run Our Mick, shame didnt have anything more at the end.

Binocular EW must surely be the shrewdest of the shrewd today - any other day you'd struggle to get more than 20p on this bet.

Hope so, if this doesn't place could be /Festival.

Overturn without the flyyyyy!

On the Fly but more nervous for our Girgy I think!

Try being me :(

I just have to back Celestial Halo e/w here @ 50/1

Chin up, laid and rich when he comes in :D

Binocular pls pls

6.7m of the 8.3m bet on Betfair is on Hurricane Fly.

What a result for the bookies. Made their day.

Where can I buy some razor blades and hankies

Big sigh!!

Sigh

Balls to the W/O The Fly market

Along for the ride.

Good man but I think the word has leaked out though as it's drifting barge-like on BF....

Just got in my dogs better at picking horses than u lot

and better than you at handling your Drink.

Two Pint Tony.

rofl

Well, I have replensihed funds with the Inter, Liverpool, Bayern treble enhanced by Mr Power and am ready to try again tommorrow.  No multiple race selections.  I have ended topping up "The New One" - ends up as a sad state of affairs when your main bet of the day is based on some bloke in a chip shop on a blonde thread - however since that post I have heard that they are pretty sweet on the horse from a couple of other sources and with Mr powers four places I have topped up so ended up with £100 E/W at 16/1 - 14/1

Added:

Henry the Viking £30 EW
Dare Me £20 EW
Edeymi £20 EW

Obviously thrown in millionaire £5ew doubles, £3 ew trebles and a £2 ew Acca

Then unpredictably a £30 Trixie on Gran Crus, Simonsig, and Sizing Europe - have looked through the races looking for alternatives to no availe - can't see past the red ink.

I have obviously added a safety next £2 acca for £300k as I'd be gutted if they all win.  Off for a meeting at 12.30 about doing some work for a few months to replensih funds and keep my hand in - may need to after Cheltenham

Good luck all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xbI3xXsroE

Great interview. Guy can hardly hold it together. Ian Holloway-esque. Liked it best when he layed in to Matt Williams  ;) ;)

I did actually laugh out loud there mate.

I might well regret this in the morning....  in Cheltenham week 2009 I had a slightly strange dream that a gay guy I used to work with at Hills, that had worked on the racing desk for about 15 years was standing in a toilet cubicle as I was sat using the facilities. He then started to hand me single sheets of toilet roll to use and eventually handed me a sheet that had the words 'Cappa Bleu' on it..

I knew this horse was favourite at that time for the Foxhunters. That week I spent all the afternoons in the local watching the racing and the day before that race I told the guys that had been there with me all week about this dream. I don't drink, but they do so by teatime they were calling it my 'homoerotic dream' tip and vowing to have a bet on it coz it was so comm.

The next day the pub had about 30 more people in to watch the Gold cup shoot out between Kauto Star and Denman and the Foxhunters was the race after that one, everyone was buzzing and word got around about this now ' proper gay dream that this guy has had' about Cappa Bleu in the next race. Most of em are pissed as farts and just about everyone has now backed this horse. I am getting a bit miffed now as the banter was now a bit near the knuckle and I didn't actually know most of them.

Of course the horse wins at 11/2 and I am now getting drinks bought for me and slaps on the back and asked if I am going to dream about my 'new friend' again tonight, which was now all in good spirits. About 3 months later I am walking down our main street and some guy I do not know says to me' alright mate, have you had any more dreams about that gay bloke again'

So if I can put that forward as an excuse for having a bet at Cheltenham, your 'there's a guy goes down the chip shop' one is deffo worth a bet.

I would like to add that only someone confident with their straight sexuality would tell that story!!  ;bumwiggle;

Thats made me rofl.....I had a similar dream about Cool Ground, not a homophobic one and had some relevance as I was good mates with Nick Mitchell, whose dad trained it at Whitcome before he got kicked out and I think Reg Akehurst trained it when it beat The Fellow I think - hazy memories it was 20 years ago ffs. Won at 50s, often talked about as worst Gold Cup winner with Nortons Coin, but the horse had some turn of foot and will always be close to my heat along with Katanatic and Kribensis. God I am getting on.....

Btw - mean to offend who posted The New One, I can't remember and will look now - I know it was at front end of thread and I blind backed it and Keith's super shrewd Midnight tip at 25s

I got on the last race, failed.

Went to the casino earlier, also failed.

Played online, failed that too.

LMFAO @ all above

After a fairly poor day one, my main fancies at the prices on Day 2:

1.30 Blenheim Brook
2.05 Monksland. Cotton Mill also a good chance.
2.40 Join Together @ 10s Antepost but couldn't back it now.
4.00 Consilierge EW @ whatever price you want.
4.40 Royal Bonsai

Sigh.

Don't really fancy too many today really. Feel a bit shrewd as I backed one of the pricewise horses earlier in the week, Silverhand, so that's the main bet. Taken small ew on sous les cieux in the 2.05 and had to have a bit ew on The new one in the bumper as it was well tipped up a few weeks ago and I would hate to miss out

good luck today everyone

Got grands crus today which will return £350 also knackers deep on the new one which will return £2.4k if it binks. One time please ship xx

If 'The New one' binks thats the year paid for.

Sizing Europe and Grand Crus 4/1 double.....and a trixie on these two and Simonsig.

Also couldn't miss out on the chip shop tip, The New One. :)

gl gl

Just Monday and Tuesday paid for for Girgy

Universal Solider 12/1, Blenheim Brook 18s, both e/w and some free bet on Teeforthree in the 1st!

lets winnnnnn

I've missed the girgy story - how come he's punting like a high roller now?

Only he knows the answer to that.   ;popcorn;

And i was getting excited with my 40e/w

Would be immense if we hit this one.

Its beyond blonde now...

This was the email from one of my punting compadres today -

If The New One doesn’t at least place there are going to be a lot of angry friends, family members, casual acquaintances, people on the street, I’ve give it everyone.

Was on Cotton Mill, wtf, O'Regan got smashed

Money laundering obv ;)

its not going wild in here today, either people are affixing the nooses or GIQ -

come on shouts from the winners please - im abstaining this week, but would like to hear the banter

Think most people are holding onto their balls sitting on their hands, until THE NEW ONE runs. Had a text from a friend who is very hit and miss, but he has a decent chunk on Poole Master, anyone got any thoughts on this particular donkey?

Grands Crus winning would make it a good day, only got small ew bets from 4o'clock onwards

Think it's a combo of both really.  A lot got hammered yesterday when Hurricane Fly didn't win.  Others got hammered by everything else.  Rock on Ruby saved my bacon on the day and got me out ahead...just.  Half afraid to get too excited about any of them today.  

My treble for today is Simonsig, Gran Crus and Sizing Europe.  Have The New One for the laugh in the last too obv.

I like to have an e/w in each race to play against the fav as well.  Really liked Bobs Worth, but didn't like the odds for an e/w so Call the Police is the one for me in the next race.  

I was denied my lolbet when The Tracey Shuffle was a NR.

In this one I've gone for Call The Police simply for blonde grimming thread japes.

John McCririck is good for racing, or bad for racing?

Option number 2 for me.

No one is interested in racing because of him (no one switches on Channel 4 speshly to see him) but he drives people who actually know about racing mental.

If he went for that job now he wouldn't get it in a zillion years, as is the case with a lot of sports broadcasters its a case of once you are in you are in and it takes a lot for you to lose that job.

Take a look at Sky Sports news and work out how Allan Mullary, Ian Rush et al keep getting interviewed when spurs or liverpool stuff is being discussed. I mean who seriously remembers Alan Mullery in his prime and who wants to know what he thinks anyway?

I switch over or turn sound off everytime that awful man appears on TV

The Camel is just too good  ;applause; ;applause; ;tightend;

+1

I must be only one not on The New One backed Sir Johnson :)

Nice work by call the police ew backers there too

After Grand Cru getting beat this thread could get super quiet.

For those still here, and who wish to follow my super 'pick horses in common with blonde' system which is well in profit after one race, here's where our money will be going later.

3.20 - I'm So Lucky (maybe - quite dubious this one)
4.00 - Veiled (brag, thin)
4.40 - Gorgeous Sixty (Tikay, obv)
5.15 - Cool George (Bedi)

Bad for humankind.

 rotflmfao  Go on then, we'll give them a go for added interest now that my treble's been shot to shit.

Also have Kauto Stone ew in the next for a bit of mischief.  

Having seen that I'm So Lucky is 80/1 I have a supplemental EW tickle on Gauvain.

It is not that rare for me to find some of the things bookmakers do amusing or even just draw droppingly stupid but this latest one truly amazes me.......as they went over the third from home in the RSA Chase I got an unsolicited call from Betfair.....first thing the guy asks me is "Is now a good time to talk?".....

I've picked the first 3 winners 10£ ew 4 fold accumulator and a 50 p ew lucky 15 need big zeb for 6 k? Score gl me

6k? isnt the £10 win part of your treble potentially paying more than that?

Was your horse winning?

'We've noticed your horse is doing quite well - would you like to green out sir?'

Playing for the first time this week in the next, Finians Rainbow ew at 6s and Realt Dubh ew at 20/1

I didn't let them get that far but I doubt it was as I haven't bet with them this festival which is no doubt what the call was about.  Also my mother answered the phone and came in saying "it is Anthony from Betfair"....surely that is -EV for a betting firm to identify thmselves when a female answers the phone....obv doesn't bother me at all but can imagine a large number of punters would be very pissed off.

gl gl

Dunno mate I not very good at workin this stuff out

Finianssssssssss e/w

Fingers crossed it comes in for you, GLGL.

can i just ask if you dont mind have you any tips redarmi for the festival please ????  thanx

Finally a bit of relief

Complete shambles with the flag at the last fence there.

Amateur.

Talk about the height of ineptitude!

Oh for the search function...

!

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=56581.1335

oioiiiiiiiiii

1 more added to the unemployed figures me thinks.

I'm not remotely worried by knocking the lot in so far today. The new one will save us all.......

If the new one wins, I'm going to need surgery to help get my hand off it...

I haven't posted mainly because I really do have a hell of a lot of bets on racing these days but fwiw these are what I have backed in the latter races:

400 Balgarry @ 9/1, Son of Flicka @ 25/1, Dare me @ 14/1 Abergavenny @ 16/1 all e/w 1/4 1-5
440 Ardlui @ 20/1, Kazilan @ 8/1
515 Moscow mannon @ 15/2

Haha, incred.

have also backed - Abergavenny, Kazilan and have had to have a little on Moscow mannon after some info but already knowing the result i've had it in a straight forecast with the new one.

mate , if the new one wins we will all club together and buy you a new one

They clearly intended that the fence was to be jumped, just not on the inside where the jockey was (hence moving the boards from across the whole fence to just the inside).

Seeing as all the horses then went round, they're pretending that was the intention - that head steward prick just interviewed was being so evasive on what the intention was.

Would have been interesting to see what would have happened had one horse jumped and one went round.

I must confess that I'm not on The New One either due to having a little bit of 25/1 Horatio Hornblower ew.

Still funking for everyone to win at least the place part of their bets ;)

Silver hand ew and a str8  win bullet at knights pass for me here.

I don't think that's allowed Andrew, I've never ever seen half of a fence dolled-off.

Had call the police e/w at 20/1... finally; on small e/w's on consigliere @40/1, a bit bigger e/w on first fandango @33/1 and a bit bigger than that e/w on carltio brigante @16/1

If it isn't allowed then I've no idea whay they moved the boards.

Has anyone seen a situation like this before (where all the boards were one one little bit of the fence?)

Oh shit, that race had the nut worst outcome for me, literally bust about 6 of my bets. All down to the NEW 1.

If the new one wins I might just break even

Oh hi der - did anyone order a 25/1 EW coo?

Well done picking Veiled, Andrew!  I was serious when I said I'd pick up each of you 'tips', despite how ridic they seemed at the time.   rotflmfao

Skill game innit.

i need a winner winner, A winner thats what i need, hey hey.

Oh gawd just realised how many bets I have on the one.... Cmon lord place is awesome..win is rubbing fiddles on my tiddies !

lol  stewards gave Lynch 7 days for overuse of the whip for trying to steer the horse round the last which was sort of flagged off.

I was going to keep quiet but I did tip the winner of that race at 25/1.......

Just looking Camels EW Lucky 31, so shrewd and I feel he and we have been so unlucky looking back - Kentford Grey 7/2 and Big Zeb 13/10 awesome place prices, and Binoculour and Al Ferof edged out in very unlucky circumstances - was just a top bet and if Oscar lands a place tomorrow still not a disaster with the luck against us. Wp Keith

 forgot about a yankee i had running from yesterday with Big Seb being the final part, 2 winners and a place nets me 8/1 on the original stake :)

No keeping quiet please - we need the morale.

Even if you are cheating by looking at form and that.

Another 2nd FML, pressed up each way - its all about the The New One......

Just have a quid on something

Awesome day

Tues +500
Weds -540

Still got 80EW on The New One and Moscow Mannon to probably make it a com -700

In addition to my Cool George tickle I have also boarded the New One bandwagon.

Have also had a last chance 'get me out of it for the day' £50 on Napoli tonight, but that's not really for this thread.

I feel the lack of effort in finding images to portray new and one could course our horse to fall over in shame. :(

lol - just been through my accounts, I have £135 win on The New One and £187.50 place with a few ew doubles with Harry and Edeymi - one fkin time

It's gonna lose! Just gearing my mind up for it.

My mate Bruce who is a shrewd jusge fancies Itsthursdayalready in the last at Southwell...very apt me thinks, as it feels like Thursday at the festival already after doing bollocks lol

I've got the Mullins pair of Champagne Fever and Pique Sous e/w for the last.  Also Cool George for the laugh and The New One to get the job done.

Have just lowered my deposit limit. Too risky.. I would be 100% confident if Girgles wasn't on.  ;)

I am confident.........honest

on the new one bandwagon

I'm starting a new support group- acronym - IBTMOAHSBDTPGAATTSOIDK

'I've bet too much on a horse some bloke down the pub gave as a tip to some one i don't know'

snappy eh?

what time does the saviour run then?

2 minutes

Was already on Royal Guardsman but added The New One also

  where do i sighn up  just looked at my account history didnt realise how much i put on when it was first mentioned

hands up if you pressed again when it drifted to 14/1 for 2 mins?

 :hello:

now

This is comedy.......we are all lemmings but iuts funny how whole forum is on, or a lot - lets do this Sammy boy.....

Not travelling - sigh

Goodnight all - couldnt even grab 4th ffs

Yeah - even I had a pony on for morale as Lil Dave would say...

gg gambling again in 2012.

You're picks are pretty good today, are you a millionaire now ?

My left nacker is currently nestled alongside my right nacker deep up big bucks' arse

oh dear. Thought he might bag 4th. Oh well.

Whos got any tips for tomorrow?

(http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo151/outragous76/lemmings-copy.jpg)

Dont turn channel 4 on and self exclude for 48 hrs from all online betting accounts - thats my tip :-)

On your pick in the last at Southwell to get back New One money :D

This^^

Heck no.  I only do wee e/w bets so as not to need a medic at the end of the day if they don't come in. 

Balls deep Marky.....no confident, but lets give it a spin

Think it was value at 3s, 7/2 - not so sure at 9/4 but a winners a winner - clearly judgement ok price wise......COME ON ITSTHURSDAYALREADY

I was down at the car dealers all afternoon sorting out my new car so missed all the racing today and had Finians after seeing Red's post thankfully..

Better than yesterday where my best result was the PP moneyback if Sprinter won :D

Not too big a hole for me but one I'd sooner not be in so therefore hope we can get there!!

on!!!

I am resulting to "Wankers Wednesday" at Luton to get out with the fish Vinny if this gets beat

Thats me done...lost it coming out stalls ffs - apologies

Never apologise m8!!

I'm glad we've only got a few days left of this though or I'm deffo gonna need to win the Fox leg of Genting to get out of it :D

 ;hide;

Lol - no need to hide, was great fro Forum morale and it run its race - keep them coming

Im on Little Josh from the same stable e/w tomorrow to get me out of that last tip, from the same source so make of it as you like (its 40-1).
Disclaimer: i know nothing about horse racing and this came from the same bloke as The New One although he only gave me this last weekend(at this time he was still positive about the new one)
Please do a win as im off on holiday tomorrow morning as i was thinking I was going to multi..Oh well, one more time..

The 'blonde forum name association' selections for tomorrow are.

1.30 - Cristal Bonus (what we will all be drinking once we land all our coos)
2.05 - Rick (Trigg)
2.40 - Blazing Tempo (the rate at which new posts appear on the diaries)
3.20 - So Young (Tikay again)
4.00 - Niceonefrankie (IS IT??)
4.40 - Slippers Percy (what Tikay calls out to Jeeves of an evening)

I like the Little Josh tip, he travelled beautifully in his last race at Cheltenham before appearing not to stay the 3 miles.

I'm on EW with sid james @ a rather lively 66/1 :) (while stocks last I would imagine)

Tomorrow is the day that you suck it up, put your head down and go in again....HARD.  Nowadays when I am losing I look to this man for inspiration......

(http://cdn2.mamapop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/coach-eric-taylor-friday-night-lights.jpg)/

Because clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose

fantastic post.

A mate of mine is friendly with Gary O'Brien of At the Races and Gary gave him these tips pre meeting.
Shop DJ, Sir Deschamps, Call the Police, Shadow Catcher and Toner Doudairis.

Just topped up.

Been looking very closely at the form for the Gold Cup and think there ae very good reasons to oppose the front two in the betting.  Everyone loves Kauto and for that reason it is half the price it should be even on this years form and that is before taking into account the fact that it has had an interrupted preparation.  If you take away the fact that it has beaten Long Run twice this year (and I will explain in a minute why I think that isn't as good as it looks) it has won a couple of small field chases and the 3m around Kempton on boxing day has always been ideal conditions for the horse.  Added to the fact it is now 12yo and horses are deteriorating at a serious speed at this age....it could literally be 90% of the horse it was on Boxing Day by now.  It should be 8/1 imo.  Moving onto Long Run.....I heard the other day that they sent the horse to Yogi Breisner (a horse whisperer type I suppose is the best description) as recently as last week to look at its jumping and when you go back through the old race tapes it certainly seems to be overjumping a lot of fences this year.  Do you really want to be taking 2/1 about a horse in the toughest race of the year thats trainer is sufficiently worried enough about to send to improve its jumping a week before the race?

At a combined 10/11 or so i think they have to be opposed and the one I like is Quel Espirit who has fallen a couple of times around here but was going very well when it came down in last years RSA Chase and they have done the right thing with the horse giving it a couple of races to get its confidence back and then scoring a very decent looking win in the Hennessy last time.  Everytime the horse has got around it has won over fences so it isn't lacking for speed.  I think 16/1 is a gift but wouldn't put anyone off any of the rags in the race.

 ;tightend;


Only thing that can go wrong is Riggins is off the team, Saracen's old man is in the crowd and Smash has a scout watching....

Then it's teary eyes, empty wallets, can't eat :D

 ;tightend;  Thank you

Inspirational......I have waded back in....Peddlers to skate up

Have I gone mad, or have the minimum placepot line stakes been increased today?

Knackers deep on Peddlers Cross and Big Bucks gulp.

I want a bet that none of Big Bucks, Long Run or Kauto Star win.  Anyone care to offer a price?

I like your side too much. What should the price be? About 12/1?

I am a backer at 7/2 for sure.

Ha ha, you should have snapped up a little chunk of my crazy 12's!

Sigh, Spoilers ITT, I'm at a point where Dillon still only has 1 High School

Peddlers Cross offer at PP at 6/1, max bet £20

http://www.paddypower.com/bet/facebook-enhanced-specials/enhanced-facebook-special?AFF_ID=60001&ev_oc_grp_ids=479315&aff_id=60001

Surely worth it for the withering look Coach Taylor is giving Shaun though.......

Please gimme some winners today!!!

1.30 - Sir Des champs @ 9/2
2.05 - thehillofuisneach ew @ 12/1 5 places
2.40 - Noble Prince @ 11/2
3.20 - Oscar Whisky @ 9/2
4.00 - Notus de la tour ew @ 18/1
4.40 - Up the beat ew @ 9/1 5 places
 
+ EW lucky 31 on races 1,2,3,5,6

Just finished my picks and I'm all over the shop today.   rotflmfao  Will post prior to each race, but proceed with caution...my thinking was a little loopy with some of them.

I like Somersby quite a lot today and am on @ 6/1 EW.

This - I have bokked it for you.  I have backed Sommersby.  Also still fairly sweet on Peddlers and despite the doubts think 7/2 will be polarised and either look huge - should have taken the 5s.

I also fancy Oscar Whiskey EW - although in my heart of hearts I think it has a less than 20% chance of beating Big Bucks.  Have added Midnight Appeal and Crack Away Jack

Am off to pick up dry cleaning before leaving at 8am tomorrow for the big one - very very excited about the whole Kauto show, just going to be an amazing occasion

Probably going to lump on all of these.

They can't be any worse than the sensible well thought out picks.

A bloke who entered the blonde Chelters Fantasy League picked his selections by using alphabetical order of the horses names. 

Laxie is a must follow

I don't know how she does it, she doesn't know how she does it, but it works.

You simply don't want to know her maximum lay today, or at least several posters on this thread don't!

 Oh, was that a bad thing?  Apologies in advance Lads. 

Wii my first pick a nr so I get some £s back today :)

Sooooo, what's everyone doing in the first?

I like Sir Des Champs ftw but I'm an e/w kinda girl so went with Solix for my first e/w bet of the day.

Good first day, but did it all back, and more, yesterday.
Hoping for a good day today, but not seeing it very clearly.

On Sir Des Champs in the opener, and like Barwell Bridge in the second.

I've gone for Cristal Bonus, but with no huge reason for it- Peddlers has been backed more this morning, but Timeform doesn't rate him by the looks of it. Best punter in my office has gone for 'For Non Stop', but again don't know his reasons. GL to all today!

Edit: some late money for Zaynar I notice...

cool, i've backed solix this morning. As long as my punts agree with the oracle i'm feeling pretty confident.

Todays Cheltenham selections - 130 Solix, 205 Seargeant Guib, 320 Thousand Stars and Oscar Whisky both E/W, 440 Gurtacrue and Adams Islands both e/w. Have also had some e/w doubles Thousand Stars and Oscar Whiskey running onto Midnight Chase and Quel Espirit in tomorrow Gold Cup. GL all

That bet on Cristal Bonus was the worst £20 I've ever spent.

I got more value out of the tenner I threw in the bin on Tuesday - at least I got a story out of that.

Checked my emails before that race and had one from Laddies saying money back if your horse comes second in the first race.  So I put my first ever win only bet on Sir Des Champs thinking he'd prolly end up second, but if he wins it's a bonus.  That was a nice wee bonus.  

Solix was disappointing though.  Had a feeling this morning that Henderson's had his day yesterday and won't do much today, but really liked that horse for a decent place.  Ah well.  NEXT!  

Love Sir Des Champs, got me out of trouble 2 years in a row now. Roll on the gold cup next year. Absolute machine.

Agreed, horrible run... not the first time this festival Ruby Walsh has looked that bad I've noticed. Again note i'm no racing expert, there may have been reasons for it.

He came from nowhere in last year's race to abso crush it, then cleans up today.  Will definitely be one to watch for Gold Cup.


And Ruby is having a ridic bad week of it.  I've mostly stayed away from any horse he's on purely because he's on it. 

Finally a winner, still to come: Our father, riverside theatre, salut flo, gurtacrue

Don't ask me why, but have Restless Harry and Sir Kezbaah on wee e/w's here.

OK - Riverside Theatre for me as, er, I live 5 minutes walk from the Riverside Theatre.

Also little tickle on Little Josh.

Remind me again - why are we on Little Josh?  I know it's due to some post or other around here.

I like Blazing Tempo but not sure about Ruby so went with Albertas Run e/w instead in the next.  Also picked up a wee e/w on Poquelin.

Thought i had catch me e/w but it was ftw.
Hurts more when you celebrate and actually lose.
On josh here aswel

Someone said that they thought they were lucky to get 66/1 yesterday on Little Josh... been drifting on betfair ever since, 120 to back at the moment! Obv i'm on for a tiny bit but can't say i'm overly confident ;)

Following yesterday's McCririck discussion, WTF is Lesley Graham still doing on TV.

She was never any good, has an annoying voice and seems to know fk all about racing (her efforts at tipping seem to amount to picking the favourite and saying 'I think he's got a chance today').

And all while Lydia Hislop languishes behind a paywall.

Sommersby and Little Josh in this

Knocking it in today so far....


15:20 Mikael D'Haguenet and Thousand Stars both e/w

16:00 Fine Parchment e/w on a free £25 with Stan's and Crackaway Jack with my dinero

16:40 Midnight Appeal e/w

And my wee e/w is out after biting it's tongue before the race.  rotflmfao  I've a soft spot for greys, so took a quick e/w on the pair of them instead.

As I said - skill game.

This is great fun, isn't it?  Between your logic and mine, we could do this full time. 

Nice hand sir.
Can't believe he won. He only jumped ok when it got to the last 3 or 4 fences, and looked beat from a long way out.

Thousand Stars in the next - already fked up by betting it before I saw Paddy Power's offer on the race, so fail already.

Cannot believe this is 4/5 - just thrown me into turmoil

Have that one as well as Mourad e/w.  Not keen on Katie as jockey, but really liked the horse for a wee e/w shot.  Oscar Whiskey FTW!!!

Tighty can confirm - Somersby was the mega lay for the day. 

On Voler La Vedette in the next.

There's a system involved but I can't tell anyone until after it wins.

driiiiiiiiiiiift

(Big Bucks drifted from 1.66 this morning and hit 1.9! People gambling or in the know? hmmmm)

Blindfold and pin?

Big Bucks drifting to 4/5; I've put £85 on it; Oscar whisky gets me £70 return too.... Come on Ruby get your finger out!!!

Vul; Ran very well

wtf was Lynch doing on the runner up? must have lost lengths switching before the last

Thank God for Big Bucks, finally a winner today.

Why didn't you enter the tipsters comp Laxie?

Simple.  Don't have a UK bank account to send the buy in for it and don't do borrows if I can avoid it.

Looked really strong up to that point. At least I had a sweat for a bag.

30 win (misclick) + 15 ew so got a bit back.

I think PP were doing a money back thing for second if big bucks won so all in all I can't complain.

Trying the system again in the next.

The system's giving me Crack Away Jack.

Putting everything I get back from VLV on.

I've 2 e/w in the next with not much serious theory behind them.  Crack Away Jack for Jack obv.  Niceonefrankie for our very own Frankie on blonde.

Plz can both your systems be right as I'm on Jack :D

Im all in on Crack Away Jack - a few reasons, mainly 20 years since Jack - Cool Ground won the Gold Cup and I quite fancy it....having to secure funds for tommorrow if this gets beat

If the system works then I've got us a 25/1 shot to lump the lot on in the 4.40

Could be an hilarious 5k sweat.

Just checked my outstanding bets and I must have been dizzy at the time because I did a treble and forgot about it.  Sir Des Champs, Big Bucks and Crack Away Jack.  I'm one away from scooping a forgotten treble!

Wouldn't mind, but wasn't even keen on Big Bucks.  lol

Niceonefrankie IS IT??

FML, I've backed more fallers than winners this week

Lolz, wtf was that from Brian Hayes? Never thought I'd see a non-jigger at Cheltenham. Felt more like Wolverhampton.

Just f*** of Cheltenham...tomorrow is another day

S**T F**KIN SYSTEM!!!!!!!

Swing Bill in the next.

Totally random punt based on my new training partner's name being Bill.

Actually it also fits in with my system so it can't really lose.

Might top up now I've figured that out.

Midnight Appeal to get me out.....

In a fit of madness this morning I put on 3 e/w bets on the next.  Brain must have been form fried by then.

Mostly Bob - was tipped to me
Swing Bill & Faasel do pretty good at Cheltenham

 :'(   

That is all.........

Up the beat in the next; small e/w on fredo and had a £2 double on salut flo and sunnyhill boy; any 3 will do!!!!

Gurtacrue - c'mon.

time for spring plz

Well I've got 2 antepost bets to get me out for the week

Sadlers @ 25s and Midnight Chase @ 25s



#onetime

Good god, that last race was shocking.  Ah well...onwards and upwards.  Bring on the final day and the Gold Cup!

thankfully i've been to busy to punt or it would have been a shocker....

Done my jacobs.

The stable llad for finians rainbow had a 5 horse accumulatir on henderson horses and has Wimax a million quid

+1 - as good as the rest of the festivl has been today was ugly!!!

awful day!!!!!

+2 clawed £1.2k back from big bucks tho or It would of been the absolute worst!!

ROFL I had the hump about being in for about a bottle today and just under a monkey overall

In for 503 quid at the moment and  that was with a bet on big bucks to soften the blow. I have a cunning plan for 2morrow that is so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox.

Done my absolute conkers.

Can't decide whether to go balls out tomorrow or just consolidate and have a steady few.

Probably balls out unfortunately :(

Just had an e-mail from a tipping team claiming to be 133 points up on the day.
Perhaps, they stuck 150 units on Big Buck's?

Terrible day for me today too.

Thank goodness for a tremendous day1 and a fortunate break-even day2 which leaves me still in profit.

I've been sat pondering this before I started work and am going to just be sensible I think......

I've got 2ante post bets which if they both win leave me up for the week a little and if not I've had a great week railing every race.

I'd be annoyed if I went on the chase and the hole grew bigger so I wanted to chase on random stuff once tomorrow is over :D

Any news on master of arts? Could do with a NRNB.

Listed for tomorrow, not great odds either.  Unless it wins, then it's terrific odds.

Came back lame from Imp Cup so I don't think it will be running thankfully

Fingers crossed!

Think it's running. The winner of the Imperial Cup pulled out so think it would have been withdrawn by now.

With a £75k bonus up for grabs...

Paintball was balloted out, which was a real shame for me as It was one of my outs.

Paintball bruised a foot during exercise and was withdrawn Phil, not balloted out.

If you back a horse ante post do you not get the price it rocks in at?

Not sure I understand the question.  You get the price you took when you bet it.

(http://files.chesscomfiles.com/images_users/tiny_mce/Arctor/clutching_at_straws.jpg)

That has answered my question cheers

oops my apologies Ralph, I had bet in NRNB and saw the stake had been returned, I assumed it had missed the cut as it was settled before the race was run.

Don't be daft Phil there's no apology necessary. I heard the trainer left it until the last minute to withdraw hoping that it would indeed be balloted out and then he wouldn't have to pay the final entry fee.

he is too shrewd!
