    Wink Cheltenham

    Happy Cheltenham day everyone. Anyone else having a few bets? I’ve messed up quite spectacularly by doing too many antepost bets so have ended up with two horse in at least three races. Still confident of all my bets though (all of them EW cos I’m soft) and could well end up very rich by the end of the week. Or, you know, down by quite a significant amount.

    Who we all on today lads?

    I’m drip feeding my tips on Twitter between 8 and 11 (#follow4follow?) but don’t mind telling you lot early. Thank me when you win loads, okay?

    13:30 First Flow
    14:10 Brain Power
    14:50 Gold Present & Ramses De Teillee
    15:30 My Tent Or Yours
    16:10 Jer’s Girl
    16:50 Ms Parfois
    17:30 Testify

    Boring reasons why I’ve picked these will be on Twitter. I’m at work all day otherwise I’d do minute by minute posts for you lot, to get you all way into it, but alas I’ve gotta make my betting money somehow.

    The first five races are on ITV and then you’ll have to find a dodgy stream for RacingUK for the last two. That’s the same for everyday.

    It’s also on talkSPORT and Radio5Live but I’m not sure about which races are where just yet.

    Hopefully we get another commentary masterpiece like this: https://talksport.com/horse-racing/u...h-170622244041 (mobile users, click on the image to listen. It’s only 29 seconds long)

    Good luck, have fun and please don’t bet if you can’t afford it.

    I'd rather drag my scrotum across broken bottles than watch horse racing but it's brilliant for making the pubs quiet as near everyone in the town fucks off to it for the few days.

    I do enjoy Cheltenham, though I haven't the foggiest about how to pick a winner. Hopefully someone will pass me on some tips they've paid for.

    The Only Balls and Horses podcast Cheltenham Special is a good listen for anyone with an interest. https://soundcloud.com/onlyballsandh...ltenhamspecial

    I'm getting sent tips from one of the many private tipsters on Twitter. I'd already chosen all my horses before I got them though. For todays races I got the following:

    Code:
    Cheltenham 13:30 - Getabird at 2.875 [Bet365/SkyBet/888SPort/Spotingbet] (2pts)
    Cheltenham 14:10 - Saint Calvados at 4.0 [Betfair/PaddyPower/Boylesports] (2pts)
    Cheltenham 14:50 - Vicente each way at 19.0 [Betfair/SunBets/PaddyPower/BetVictor] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 15:30 - Buveur D'air at 1.615 [Betfair/PaddyPower/Boylesports] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 16:10 - Apples Jade at 1.615 [Betfred/Totesport] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 16:50 - Rathvinden each way at 8.0 [Coral/Betfred/Totesport/Sportingbet] (2pts)
    Cheltenham 17:30 - Any Second Now each way at 8.0 [Boylesports] (2pts)
    Make of them what you will. I'm glad I didn't pay for this service.

    For tomorrow they've gone for the following:

    Code:
    Cheltenham 13:30 - Samcro at 1.727 [General] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 14:10 - Al Boum Photo each way at 8.0 [Ladbrokes/Coral] (2pts)
    Cheltenham 14:50 - Mount Mews each way at 17.0 [Ladbrokes/SunBets] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 15:30 - Altior at 2.25 [Boylesports] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 16:10 - The Last Samuri each way at 7.5 [SunBets/PaddyPower/BetVictor] (1pt)
    Cheltenham 16:50 - Nube Negra each way at 10.0 [Betfair/PaddyPower/Betfred/Totesport] (2pts)
    Cheltenham 16:50 - The King Of May each way at 13.0 [General] (2pts)
    Cheltenham 17:30 - The Big Bite each way at 29.0 [Betfair/PaddyPower] (1pt)

    EDIT--
    Just noticed I've been refunded on three of Thursdays races so may wait and see what they send me tomorrow evening before re-placing those ones.

    14:10 Pertemps Handicap
    14:50 Ryanair
    16:10 Brown Advisory Plate

    What's everyone else got in these three?

    The ones I get passed on are this guy's.

    His long term record is good but whether or not he'll produce a profit this week is a lottery. If you can find the time to get on his stuff every day then it would definitely be worth paying for his stuff.

    I'd rather have giggles blood soaked testicles dragged over my face than watch horse racing. Or dog racing for that matter.

    I mean, it only exists to facilitate betting. Nobody would watch it if they didn't have money involved.

    €135 a month? Do you pay for them? And how did he do today?

    Nah I don't pay him. I think he does a Cheltenham package for £50 or something.

    He tipped 6 horses and had a place on a 14/1 e/w shot today.

    So not exactly setting the world alight, haha. Must be decent if he can charge money like that for what really is pure speculation though.

    Don't suppose you know his tips for the three Thursday races I mentioned above?

    He rarely tips below 4/1, and a lot are big outsiders, so you can't judge him based on 6 tips, or indeed 4 days of tips. That's what I mean when I say it's a lottery whether he'll turn a profit over the festival. The 20% long term return advertised is remarkable (I would be over the moon with 5% with my bets), though I imagine it's lower for the big meetings.

    He sends tips out on the morning of the races, so I can post them then if you like.

    Heck yes; would be good to see what he thinks. But yeah that is a pretty impressive profit.

    Feel free to share for all three days.

    2.10 - 1 Point Each Way Delta Work at 10/1 with Paddy Power, Skybet +more

    1 Point Each Way Forza Milan at 14/1 with Betfairsportsbook, 888

    2.50 - 1 Point Win Cloudy Dream at 12/1 with Sportingbet, 888

    3.30 - 2 Points Win Sam Spinner at 7/2 with Bet 365, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power +more

    If Sam Spinner was 4/1 I would have made it a 4 Point Win, so keep an eye on the market, as he'd be worth having the extra 2 points on if he drifts to 4/1.

    4.10 - 2 Points Each Way Tully East at 12/1 with Bet 365, Paddy Power +more

    1 Point Each Way Oldgrangewood at 25/1 with Betfairsportsbook

    The 22/1 Oldgrangewood is with other bookies is fine if you can't get the 25/1.

    4.50 - 1 Point Each Way Salsaretta at 16/1 with Coral, Ladbrokes +more

    5.30 - 1 Point Each Way Final Nudge at 16/1 BOG with Skybet, Bet 365, William Hill +more

    Wahey, Missed Approach won to put me £3 in profit for the day. Not sure what I'll spend my massive winnings on.

    History boys and girls

    Of all the big races at the Cheltenham Festival there are three that are the biggest of the big. The Champion Hurdle (on Tuesday), The Champion Chase (on Wednesday) and The Gold Cup (today).

    No trainer has ever won all three in the same festival. But today Nicky Henderson could make history if favourite Might Bite wins. Buveur D'Air and Altior already landed the other races for him. Tune in at 3.30pm to find out if he can do it.

    Looking to stop this from happening is Willie Mullins. This week he became Cheltenham's most successful ever trainer, surpassing Henderson. Mullins has never won the Gold Cup. In many, many attempts. Today - he's got four runners involved, but none hugely fancied.
    Last year's winning trainer was Jessica Harrington, who won with Sizing John, her first ever entry. If Our Duke wins for her today, she'll have an unprecedented two from two, a 100% record.

    One more chance at Cheltenham!

    Play William Hill's Lucky 7 game for the last time at Cheltenham. It's completely free to enter and up to a £100,000 jackpot to be won today.

    You pick a horse in each of the seven races. If you predict all seven winners, you win the £50,000 jackpot (or a share of it, depending whether anyone else wins too). If no-one pick seven winners then the person who picks best gets £1,000.

    You don't need to put any money down and, in playing along, you'll be helping to support Popbitch. You just need to login with your Facebook or William Hill account, or register through the Lucky 7 site or app. Then make sure you have made your selection before the first race at 1.30pm. An unlucky player picked six winners on Tuesday, but only had the second in the final race! Hope you are luckier.

    >> Gold Cup <<
    What to look for

    How to pick a Gold Cup winner? The best answer to that is probably "don't ask us..." as we were way out last year. But here's some stats to bear in mind.

    The winner is usually
    - aged seven to nine
    - the winner of a race this season
    - rated 166+
    - top three in the betting

    Doing well in the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day is often a good sign too.

    Today's favourite Might Bite? Aged 9, won both his races this season (including the King George) and is rated 169. So we're going with him.

    Two others to look for? Bachasson is a possible good each way, as he's been backed this week from 50/1 to 28/1. And there's quite a bit of support for Road to Respect. Good luck!
    Today's other tips: 1.30 Apples Shakira (7/4), 2.10 Meri Devie (14/1), 2.50 Santini (9/2), 4.10 Virak (14/1)
