Here is the link

feel free to add anyone

Likewise if anyone has any tips for getting my online betting account back to something like a positive location after my recent spree of foolish bets on us winning, feel free to share.

The link doesn't seem to be working mate?
Looking forward to it this year. Will be studying tonight for my picks for tomorrow.

Yup, Any tips would be greatly received. Had a nice winner at the weekend so ready to blow it all on day 1 as usual.

Last year Charlie Austin pulled in a 1000/1 acca - might be worth seeing what he is predicting this year

This any better https://fantasyracing.telegraph.co.uk/cheltenham/mail-my-league/8123552

Works fine, but then again the original one did for me also.

Neither working on my phone for some reason, strange.

If any of you are on Twitter then have a look at 'Get Your Tips Out'. Free tips and they generally know what they're on about.

Few years ago I started off with £10 and managed to get over £500 by the end of the week!

They'll give you their tips at the start of the day for each race.

Can you join more than 1 league? I'm already in one.

@welovebettinguk are my tipsters of choice, know their stuff on all sports and racing is no difference. Probably kept me in a profit over past couple of years

I'm going for GYTO's Win Double of:
1.30 Ballyandy
3.30 Yanworth

Yeah no problem

River Wylde
Vintage Clouds
Lifeboat Mona

£5 e/w patent

Altior win's in the 14:10. Apparently a punter had 400k on it.

Buveur D'Air did the business in the Champion Hurdle, that's the day broken even.

Shit so far, put a double on for one last punt, was meant to be EW but forgot. Luckily Apples Jade came in for me, hopes are on Edwulf in the 16:50 coming up now.

Don't know what happened to Edwulf - just seemed to pull up

£150 up on day one 2 Lambourn winners and 2 seconds. I have been told Consul De Thaix in the first tomorrow and western Ryder in the last.

Apples Jade and the French thing in the Champion Hurdle meant a marginal profit.

All about Douvan today although will be incredibly short price

I would back something other than Douvan E/W

Just do the "without Douvan" market

e/w

1.30 Willoughby Court
2.10 Whisper
2.50 Peregrine Run/ River Frost (You choose)
3.30 Fox Norton
4.10 Quantitativeeasing (an old fave of mine)

Enjoy

Managed to get Flying Tiger, Special Tiarra and a few e/w - Neon Wolf, Whisper yesterday which help claw back some of the day 1 losses.

Whats everyone on today ? I was thinking 2.50 - Uxiandre & 3.30 Uknowhwtimeanharry mixed with a few random e/w long shots seeing that it isn't going to form.

I achieved absolutely nowt yesterday was a crap return, any suggestions for today?

Chasing some loses from days 1 and 2. Done a Win Only trebble on Yorkhill, Un De Sceaux and Lets Dance.

2 out of 3 so far.

Ruby's ride on Un De Sceaux was incredible.

Happy Days. Makes up for a torrid days 1 and 2.

I am not sure he had a great deal to do with it, the horse is an absolute machine....

For someone who doesn't know a great deal about horses it looked like he went off too early and would tire towards the end but like you said, the horse was a machine.

I'm at Cheltenham tomorrow for the GC.
Christmas (and birthday) present from the wife - Club enclosure mind

I love the atmosphere having worked there for Guinness in the past.
However I know little about horses.
I used to live in Wantage and won a few Grand Nationals just by talking to stable lads.
(Last Suspect and Maori Venture to name two)

So I suppose what I'm saying is..............who's going to win ?

I follow 3 or 4 tipsters and he's what i've got for today so far.
13:30  Defi Du Seuil / Charli Parcs E/W
14:10  North Hill Harvey E/W
14:50  Death Duty / Augusta Kate EW
15:30  Djakadam /Cue Card  / Outlander E/W
16:10  On the Fringe

Just need to work out what i fancy

I've got this for today

14:50- Wholestone E/W
15:30 Djakadam E/W
16:10 Wonderful Charm E/W
17:30 La Prezien E/W

My one bet of the festival. A whole £7 on Djakadam.

Done a win only on the following.
13:30  Defi Du Seuil
14:50  Death Duty
16:10  On the Fringe
My win only treble came in yesterday so finger crossed. Still looking to do an E/W treble. I'm very torn between Cue Card and Djakadam for the Gold Cup

Native river wins in gold cup for me.

Had a nice beauvu dair UDS double which turned my festival around. Been a tough few days

Defi Du Seuil wins. 1 down 2 to go.

Ladbrokes gave me a free £2 bet on the first race, had a quick look at this thread, saw your tip for Du Seuil and stuck that on. Cheers.

I've just fucked up my bet in the next, 2.50, race.

Wanted to put a tenner on Penhill - inadvertently put on £100. Jesus Christ, what have I done.

What bookie do you use? There could be a cash out option.

16/1!!

However it is a Mullins horse and he's having a great festival so you are in with a shout Audrey!

the 2.10 race was interesting. Top 3 were a 20/1, 25/1 and a 50/1

You fucking beauty! Cashed out for £96. Phew!

It'll win now.
Augusta Kate for me in the next, though.

be funny if it comes in now.

Saw on twitter yesterday a chap whos 2nd leg of a double was  Some German Team vs Schalke.  Home Team Winning at Half Time / Full Time Draw. Home team 2 up at half time so he decides to cash out for £80 quid at around 52 min, 2 minutes later they claw one back and end up drawing 2-2. Would have been £500 better off if he'd hung in there.

I'm a bit of a shitebag when it comes to cashing out. Last Friday my 6 team accumulator was looking good at half time and I cashed in for £12 but the one that I feared wouldn't happen (some BTTS bet in Germany funnily enough) did and I could have held on for £38.

On Tuesday I cashed out for a £4 profit and Bradford were the only team that let me down so its swings and roundabouts.

Jesus fucking Christ!

It has as well 🙈

Trying to console myself with £160

Good god!

Mate. I have no words.

£156 ;)

Touche

Still more than we have so fair play Audrey :)

I backed Penhill - just because................

How much did you win Audrey ??

This is why a Cash out option is a bad thing as much as it is good.

£156 instead of £1600

Ouch !!!!!!!!!!!

£1560

Come on then Audrey, tips for the rest of the day, really need to get some cash back. Got some cash on Native River in the GC and a small sentimental EW on Tea for Two.

Bristol de Mai next e/w

Outlander on the next one. £100

Fucking hell Audrey. U must be gutted!!

Thanks for the £45 from a free bet  Sky/sizing john
