Both in the first race. Looks a fantastic line up.

I only have a Bet365 and a PaddyPower account and have a free £5 bet in the first with Bet365 and a £5 free bet to use in any race with PaddyPower (and a £1 free bet from some wheel of fortune type spin)

For those new to betting and don't have accounts with anyone, a lot of companies are doing deals whereby if you are a new customer and you sign up and bet on the first race, you'll get bets on the remaining races. I know PaddyPowers new customer offer is bet £10 on the first race and then you have £60 to bet on the remaining 6 races. I think Bet365 are doing something similar.

Obviously remember to gamble responsibly and when the fun stops, stop.

1.30 Dysart Dynamo win.
2.10 Edwardstown win.

Yep, I've backed Kilcruit in the first so if it wins, awesome, if not, £10 back.

Hoping to luck in with Quaggy today also with that double.

Also gone for the below treble:

Sir Gerhard (1.30) & Shishkin (3.30) & Facile Vega (5.30). Added in Bravemansgame (2.10) and Tiger Roll (4.10) for another throw away five-fold.

You are on absolute fire sir! Shiskin never got going in that one and Energumene won at a canter! Will probably put a bit more on Tiger Roll now the ground has gone soft.

I was on Delta Work, but the sentimental old fool in me would have been happy to see Tiger Roll bolt up!

Not sure what has been funnier on social media this afternoon, the absolute shit being lost about Shiskin (its all a fix apparently) or the shit being lost that Jack Kennedy didn't throw it for Tiger Roll - often from the same accounts!

Think today is the hardest day of the week to pick winners. My luck needs to run out soon and unfortunately feel it may be today.

I’ve gone for Bob Ollinger and Allaho in a £30 Ante Post double.

Then had a couple of smaller bets on the following
2:10 - Sire Du Berlais
3:30 - Klassical Dream
Have also but the above 2 in a Yankee with Imperial Alcazar and Dinoblue.

Good luck all.


Title: Re: Cheltenham Festival 2022
Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, March 17, 2022, 08:47:18
I was very unsure myself about who to go for in the 1.30 to double up with Allaho so that’s been noted!


Title: Re: Cheltenham Festival 2022
Post by: Crispy on Thursday, March 17, 2022, 08:57:29
I've not had a bet this week and probably won't, but in the 2:10 I wouldn't want to opposeAlaphilppe. Won a Grade 2 at a bottemless Haydock last season before gaining experience in the AB. Had 302 days off and produced at Warwick qualifying for today, down 2lb from that race but the run should see plenty of improvement.

The Glancing Queen 4:10 looks a play, fair to say she's a Grade 2 mare running in a handicap, and with good course form to name as well, having chased yesterdays winner L'homme Presse home in her last run. I know Alan King is fond of her, conditions shouldn't put her off and the 141 should have some scope in.  

Following in Quagmire's footsteps Dinoblue is probably the bet of the day, impressive an understatement on debut at Clonmel pissing up by 15L with all sorts left in the tank. If you want a bit of juice and to take the jolly on I wouldn't put anyone off the stable mate Brandy Love who should relish a return to a left handed track.

I've been swayed by advice elsewhere and also by Quaggy's success on here this week (don't let me down boi!! ;) )

Bob Olinger 1.30
Sire Du Berlais 2.10
Dinoblue 4.50

And a Bob Olinger/Allaho double. All with free bets. Dinoblue I've taken a punt on with proper money, don't let me down Crispy ;)

Post by: Stef Troll on Thursday, March 17, 2022, 13:25:15
Just had £10 on Bob Ollinger at 6-5 with sky bet (they return £10 cash on the horse that comes second).  Very lucky winner

Last day of what has been probably my best ever Cheltenham profit wise. I’m off down the boozer to watch it all today so have had a little go on every race to make it interesting.

1:30 - Vauban
2:10 - Top Bandit e/w
2:50 - Ginto
3:30 - A Plus Tard
4:10 - Billaway
4:50 - Concertista
5:30 - Hollow Games

I’ve doubled up Vauban and Billaway, if that comes in it’ll be 4/4 on the doubles for the week.

Good luck all.

I assume after costs of today's bets and today's pub outgoings you are still in profit! Good luck today, you've had some festival!

Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, March 18, 2022, 11:37:49
What i'm on today.

1.30 Pied Piper - although doing a little research and from what I have read that Vauban sounds the more likely
2.10 West Cork E/W
2.50 Hillcrest

Ginto (2.50) & Galvin (3.30) win double.
Pied Piper (1.30) & Hillcrest (2.50) win double.

Not quite as impressive as Quagmire's showings but Mrs Bob realised she had a PP account and put her free bet on A Plus Tard. She then put the winnings from that on Billoway to win and a second bet of Billoway to win and Winged Leader or another horse (I forget the name) to finish second and she only went and won those as well! Small bet on Concertista now with those winnings in the next.

Sorry. I had done in the past on here but it only seemed to ruffle up people the wrong way for some strange reason. Even used to do a fully comprehensive Cheltenham insight.

All about self-preservation these days. Apologies :)

Hope you got some winners though. Quaggy always picks some good'uns out and one or two others.

I used to post on BetFair's TippingSports and had a pretty good strike rate. It's a bloody FT job though if you're doing it properly.

Before we moved up here we used to go on Gold Cup day, the first time we went was the year Desert Orchid won and it had been snowing.

But we loved it, so bought tickets each year. Used to buy seats in the Guinness grandstand & then stop off in the Air Balloon on the way home.

Good times
