Cheltenham Festival - Day 2 Preview on 09:32 - Mar 18 by The_Romford_Blue
Yes mate. My bets are placed over the whole year for Cheltenham with the odds being much much bigger.
So the three key examples are yesterday I had: - 6/4 favourite in race 1 Bob Olinger at 14/1 placed back in October. - 1/4 favourite in race 2 Monkfish at 15/2 placesd back in August. - 5/2 second favourite Sir Gerhard at 20/1 placed back in October.
Obviously doesn’t take many of those in the week to guarantee a profit. I stake around £3,000 across the year on Cheltenham (that amount includes £1,000 in free bets used weekly on it across the year) and have returned that amount already (half of that coming from the three winners I just mentioned) with two days to go. I had the Shishkin and Envoi Allen double at 26/1 and bigger pretty much with tenners weekly for two months. Envoi completing that double today in the first race pays a good four figure amount. Would also mean a £3 treble at 250/1 of Shishkin, Envoi and Fury Road would go onto the latter in the 3:05 for another high amount. So as you can imagine, envoi Allen at odds on in the first race is one that I am very keen to see win.
It’s quite feasible I could end up making a £5k profit this week if things keep going well. Worst case scenario with the next 14 races all being losers and I’ll still be up for the week. It’s risky antepost because non runners before the festival even starts and you lose your stake. However, the rewards outdo the risk if you can read a market and who’s going to end up running where. Helps I also have information from the top yard in Ireland with knowing a friend of a friend in the yard and the same situation for the second best in England. So can verify a couple of horses if needed as to their targets.
Rommers, if you were that guy that is being offered £270k to cash out, would you take it or gamble on the fact that Envoi should blitz the race and then walk away with £500k

Is it £270k or nothing? Or anything to back it up.....
Anyone walking away from over a quarter of a million in the hope of making another £200k is mad for me - it's a life changing amount (Spoken as someone with about that amount as a mortgage....!)

Yep, the old saying of a bird in the hand is better than two in a bush springs to mind.
However, his horse should be absolutely nailed on so it's a tricky one!
Just to add, I would be tempted to take the offer and then lump £10k on Envoi.

Cash out for me. I'm not someone who would be that bothered if it then won though as it could easily have gone wrong.

Like with just about every other sport, I'm finding I can't really get into it this year. It's the absence of crowds & any kind of real atmosphere - I've discovered (and this was a big surprise to me) that really, my enjoyment of sport is as much about the people, the atmosphere & being part of a mutually shared, noisy experience, as the sport itself.
While, unlike football, the lack of spectators won't affect the horses or jockeys so the racing will be the same, yes I agree the lack of crowds takes a huge amount away, especially from Cheltenham. A bit like watching a pre-season football friendly game.

Well played lads.
Had an unreal day here.
Sir Gerhard antepost at 20/1 Bob Olinger antepost at 14/1 Monkfish antepost at 15/2
Envoi tomorrow for crazy money
I saw! Lovely that. Somebody I follow on Twitter tipped up Bob Olinger way back in November. At the time he said he’s certainly worth backing early doors for Cheltenham. He managed to get 20’s. I didn’t, of course 😂
Should be Envoi’s for the taking today, so instead I’m trying to find some EW value in 2nd & 3rd spot.

Yep, likewise, it would be my luck that the dead cert ends up falling.
The only certainty in racing is that there's no such thing as a certainty.
I remember a few years ago a horse (in a flat race iirc) that was literally about a furlong ahead 2 furlongs from home & going strong, only had to keep cantering to win, couldn't be caught by any rival - but then it saw the exit to the stables, dodged off into that, & there was nothing the jockey could do to stop it!
