jbman30 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Re: cheltenham chat thread 2013 Bit of a newbie so should really start posting more as I come on here everyday. I can't wait now just booked my usual 4 days off and going on Champion Hurdle Day and Gold Cup day and the other two will be spent watching with mates or my Brother, really can't wait. I really like reading the preview nights and I think there is one tonight where David Pipe is attending so look forward to the write up if anyone is going? I have built up a good solid antepost book through profits where most look like they will make the big week, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elchubb Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Re: cheltenham chat thread 2013 Absolutely buzzing for Cheltenham! I can't wait to hear the crowd for the start of the Supreme! I've been backing antepost since October, didn't always have time to write what i've backed at the time and now the prices have collapsed i don't wanna be seen to be after timing about them! i've got a couple of write ups of selections i hope to get up by the weekend! Willing to chat about anything to do with the festival, so if you've anything you wanna discuss put it up and i'll try my best to reply, also really hoping those who put up the festival preview reviews will be doing so again this year as they always serve as an informative read! Would also love to hear people's thoughts on the Foxhunters (think Addpea usually follows them) as it's something i know nothing about!

bowles10 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Beaker, you will find there is plenty of chat been going on in some of the main page threads but I suppose it will kick in from now as we get more info on which horses are declared for what I have no interest in ante post as most winners at Cheltenham are big on the day anyway and it's the early prices that are important I will be hoovering bet fair each day !

For handicaps yeah but the graded races i think the only way to play them is antepost, prices of all the market principals just contracts as the jumps season goes on and no value in them on the day!

Finians Rainbow was put up on here @ 8-1 A.P, went off around 4-1! Sir Des Champ was a tricky one last year cos no one knew if he was going R.S.A or Jewson but i know at least 7's was available when it looked like a decision was made A.P, around 4's again on the day! The Champion Hurdle was a falsely run race for me and i'm not sure about the Antepost prices of last year but i do know this year that Hurricane fly could of been backed at 5-1 A.P, that won't be around on the day! Synchronised just outstayed non Gold Cup horses last year! (bar Long Run but he had a poor season last year) He was 12's even after Prisewise put him up so he must of been a tasty price Antepost! That won't be the case this year and it'll be won by the market leaders, most of which have been shortening as the season goes on and will probably be shorter on the day! I'm not saying so called good things don't get turned over but when you get 5's on that so called good thing and it goes off at Evs, you know in the long run you'll make a profit!

I'm sure your input is appreciated and look forward to your previews:ok seriously! I cant wait for seeing Sprinter Sacre trying to keep its unbeaten record over fences by taking the QM this year, the champion hurdler return of hurricane fly, the arkle between FAgo, Simonsig and Overturn. The Gold cup is as competitive this year than the last 10 years. The supreme also looks a very decent race this year with next years Champion hurdle possibles on show. Then there are the handicaps which i love to try to solve Its a pity we have lost Darlan, Al Ferof, Big Bucks from the line up but i cant wait for this years festival as usual and already working on the key trends for my bets.

Tell the Bookmaker to bring his / her fecking dinner. I repeat, NO SURVIVORS, Now fall out. Hahaha, great post! I can't wait. I've had quite a bit on antepost and all those horses bar 1 have been cut in price by a couple of points minimum so if they get cut even more then I'm onto a profit. Antepost betting is still decent! Nearly 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy2shoes Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Re: cheltenham chat thread 2013 Bookmakers TAKE NOTE ! Betvictor & Bet365 are both now going NR Money back, the rest of yous should follow suit, yous all know who yous are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aykay1 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Re: cheltenham chat thread 2013 I havent checked BetVictor but Bet365 pretty much halved their prices! Cheeky gits. There should be a few more following suit this weekend anyway. I'm interested in Carlito Brigante but he has about 5 entries(!) so NRNB looks the way to go. I try to stay away from antepost as im not very good at it :lol My three bets this year were Quevega for the World Hurdle @ 14.0, Last Instalment for the Gold Cup @ 55.0 and Pearl Swan for the Champion Hurdle at 65.0 I wont get a run from any of those!

Andymca Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Re: cheltenham chat thread 2013 i backed Bensalem @ 20/1 for the Festival Handicap Chase with Bet365 and saw it was only 12/1 the next morning. I was all chuffed thinking I had got in before a massive betting coup only to hear they slashed prices due to NRNB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

last minute winner Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Re: cheltenham chat thread 2013 Always try and get the retirement money in from the festival each year and this years pipe and slippers bet is 25 each way acca on. Finians Rainbow for the 2mile chase, Double Dizzy in the x country, Overturn arkle, Un Atout supreme and the hurricane in the CH. All being well I should be there to see the races as well. Club enclosure this time, tattersalls was stupidly busy when I first went two years ago and whilst I dont expect to have the place to myself in the club enclosure I do hope that this time I can actually get to see some live horseracing and not just in a tent at the back of the parade ring watching it on a plasma screen. It really is about time they built another large stand on the opposite side of the course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
