Thread: Cheltenham races

    Cheltenham races

    Morning all,

    Off to Cheltenham on Wednesday. My favourite day out of the year!

    However, i am usually not in the queue to pay out.

    Any tips from anyone who knows more than me (not difficult).

    Thanks.

    Put an each way bet Sharon on the 14.50 race with Christopher Wood in the race. It’s an omen and think the owner is called Sharon too!

    Have a great day out Sharon, very envious. Some great memories but not fit enough to cope with standing all day or the crowds.

    What a fantastic day to go. So lucky to be able to see such superb horses such as Sir Gerhard, Shishkin and Tiger Roll. As ever winners will be difficult to find and several short price favourites.

    The one short favourite I would take on is in the last race where I fancy American Mike but it will be so tight I am sure.

    Have a wonderful day and hope the weather keeps fine.

    Would tend to agree Yarm. If all else fails on the day, I think that American Mike will get you out in the last race Sharon. Either way, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your day. I am mighty envious.

    One sport that’s never done it for me.

    I love the way that literally everyone seems to have insider information yet the % of winners is so low! 🤣

    I’m with you on that, Mick, never liked horse racing, just a cash cow for the bookies, no different to my mind than betting on snail racing; if there was no betting there would be no horse racing. I’ve never been to a horse race and I’ve no wish to go to one but to those that do, well, I hope you all have a good day out.

    As for the advertising of online betting, I am of the opinion that it should be banned in the same way as cigarette advertising has been banned.

    Can’t beat a good day at the races especially in the corporate area. Just a fun day out and to dress up with no scruffy shorts😭

    The sport I find boring is rugby!
