Hey all.
Soooooo Cheltenham Festival... a bit different this year compared to the super spreader event of last year! I thought I would organise the game again!
The aim of the game;
Choose a horse from each of the 7 races from today’s Cheltenham Festival;
1.20, 1.55, 2.30, 3.05, 3.40, 4.15, 4.50
If your horse wins; 10 points, 2nd: 7 points 3rd: 5 points and any other paying place (as per Sky Bet) gets 3 points.
Don’t forget your NAP race which could earn double points!
Here is a link to the horses in the festival races:

You have until 12pm to get your picks to me so I can update the spreadsheet and I will update later on tonight/or tomorrow who the overall winner is (Top Poster if you like).
Happy picking!
Cheltenham Festival - Day One!

Did you actually ‘have to say’ though?

Have to say you're a bit of a nonce.
Didn't have to say it actually on second thoughts.

Ignoring the Southampton B supporter above, but I have to ask pags, does that happen all the time, are you new to gambling, if not over your lifetime are you up or down?

Ha honestly I don’t gamble on horses generally. I put a £1 on grand national and then I generally put £2 a day on the Cheltenham festival. So I’m up in that respect.
Even favourites can fail or die (RIP Sir Eric)
Football I’m down I would hazard a guess but I put again £2 accys on but not every week. So it’s not even the price of a coffee a week.

Bookmakers often restrict customers accounts down to £0 or very low stakes on sports. They trade that many leagues/markets/races that they're not going to price everything correct or react quick enough to new info.
