The Official 2017 Cheltenham Thread
Discussion
Never been but I started doing some little bets on Cheltenham 2012, did very well at the big events through to about 2014 but haven't bothered much since.
Had a quick look through the racecards/form this morning, I tend to do outsiders of top trainers that interest me. I always WFH tuesdays, so will have half an eye on the TV

2.50 Footpad

Quite like the look of Moon Racer EW in the 3.30 - looks to be decent value.Had a quick look through the racecards/form this morning, I tend to do outsiders of top trainers that interest me. I always WFH tuesdays, so will have half an eye on the TV

We are going tomorrow, will be our first time going to any horse racing event, really looking forward to it now.
What are the queues like to place a bet? I'm debating taking advantage of one of the many betting app free bet offers or spending a bit more and placing bets directly.
Place all your bets before you go. There is only 40mins between races and given the crowds, that isn't enough time to get a drink, place a bet and then get to watch the race. Worse still if you are queueing to collect winnings between races.What are the queues like to place a bet?

Unless you have a box of course.

Nah, not posh enough to rent a box, we did pay for Club Enclosure, but I guess that still gets busy?Unless you have a box of course.

You'll have a cracking time. But as said, the ques can be big.What are the queues like to place a bet? I'm debating taking advantage of one of the many betting app free bet offers or spending a bit more and placing bets directly.
I'd judge it on the day with regards to how to bet...there is a real buzz about having the ticket in your hand and cheering your pick over the line! When i went we'd send 2/3 people to grab the beers and one of us would put their bets on for them. Good luck and enjoy it, it's a great day out!
Against my better judgement i'm going in the Best Mate enclosure on ..... Friday , last time i went was on champion chase day 10+ years ago and it was jam packed and full of fighting youngsters.
Today : Une Temps Pour Tout at 16/1 but nothing else , i was on Limini as well. tut.
Tomorrow :
13:30 Neon Wolf, been talked up so much you could probably back to lay for a free bet
14:10 Might Bite
14:50 yeah, good luck with that
15:30 strange feeling that douvan might get turned over, by what though i don't know
16:10 Auvergnat/Quantitive easing
16:50 Percy Street
17:30 Irish Roe
Good luck all
