I have to admit, despite being a trader, I was close to tears when Sprinter Sacre destroyed the field and regained his crown two years ago.
That's a good point, I was so possed with my trading in that period, I can barely remember a winner from visual memory.

Back on a trading topic, for any newbies out there this is my third Cheltenham I will be trading and the first I will be having a go with some pretty large stacks.

If your new or have a low bank, concentrating on just getting one trade through, expect to make smaller sums. I went wrong my first attempt, its actually very easy to trade if you know that you're going to have to be patient. Concentrate on getting the greens rather then the big greens.

Just look for one profitable trade in each race, if you get it wrong try not to become desperate, all about a quality trade next week.

Do you mind if I include that graphic in my blog post this weekend? Obviously, I'll give you credit.

Feel free... they're based on your numbers typed from a YT vid so the IP is yours, but the 2017 #s are mine. :)
Cheers for the nod though, yet another instance when I wish I'd registered with a cool name instead of just my own. A credit would be nice rather than necessary so use it as you like.

I've had plenty from the forum so here's something back....

FIRST FLOW for the Supreme Novices, this horse will only run if the ground is heavy. NRNB at 25s with a few firms, again if this runs, your looking at less then 10/1.
Anyone take the 25/1 available with most firms?

12s Now, With the rain, looks like this horse will be an 8/1 shot come tomorrow eve,

No, this is a trading forum. I'm sure PuntersParadise/SadKen.com would be interested though.

25s early seems like a great opportunity to trade out late, why the animosity?

I really hope so. I managed 385 over 3 bookies in total.

I will wait to see if it goes to 8s tomorrow if not I will sit my lay money at sp.

Hopefully Samcro and Faugheen dont run in those races either so i can get some cash back, might have too much money tied up which could hinder my Cheltenham if First Flow wins on tuesday as it could rip apart my bank which means trying to get paid in bookies and back into BF account.

Just have to hope you have the funds and exposure limits in place to close these 'bets' now, seahorse.
