Cheltenham Festival 2018

[ShaunWhite]

Looks like the last two races aren't important to ITV!

I'm sure they televised every race last year, unless I'm thinking of Royal Ascot.

Was the same last year I'm sure

Can't miss the chase!

Last year they did all 7 as it was new ITV racing job.... Trying to boost ratings, its kind of like watching football... if goes to etc time or penalties were not showing it

Mare for layers in the 16:10, SP was 95% never seen an SP like that at a major meeting.

I never use Betfair Sp .. are they allowed to return over-broke books ?

Rails business v good. Firms started playing etc, my friend was doing 900 after 4, but won 2800 on 4th (stood fav for 1k)

Why would anyone want to take SP unless it's for failsafe reasons?

[Derek27]

I think the lesser races (post champion hurdle) are turning slightly more volatile.

You would expect that.

Easy money on LiveLoveLaugh there

Best ever day for me already I think.

[Derek27]

Betfair video's quite sluggish, race must have been over as the front two jumped the last.

[megarain]

Historically, punters take v short prices last race of the day .. especially when a good few well backed horses have won.

Sort of expect top 3 to shorten.

[Derek27]

Best ever day for me already I think.

Several years ago I used to make an easy £50-£100 on most big-race antepost markets and the Cheltenham Festival guaranteed me a nice profit before I even started trading. Sadly antepost markets have dried up now and Cheltenham's harder work than it used to be.

6/6 so far. All that prep seems worth it because everything today went like clockwork.

I'm going tiny in the last and going into tomorrow confident.

I realise nobody actually cares and this P&L style message will almost certainly irritate Derek but until the missus gets home to talk to, I have to make do with you lot!

Without the obligatory screenshot that 6/6 means nothing, Shaun.

[megarain]

6/6 is pretty good.

5/6 on Betdaq, and it was a huge swing (but, to be fair, last race was also big swing).

Will post in the Betdaq section, after racing.

Tght Betdaq traded ok. Matchbook prices are v deep, and same as Betfair.
