    Free bets and money are good.
    But what pony promotions most of the betting firms are doing.
    A few of them in my eyes do better promotions outside of Cheltenham.
    And then some go from 1 extreme to another with their promotions.

    Crazy how everyone gets different offers, for example
    Skybet they are giving me £5 first race, lose refund etc. 
    My mate who bets regularly with them £20
    When it comes to their boosts i get £10 normally max, he gets £15
    Does anyone know the logic, i can see many are restricted on other sites but surely these boosts/ bonuses should really be the same. Is it because my mate is their fave type of customer, a VIP as such so gets all the best offers. I know he goes on vegas alot so maybe thats a factor. 
    I think you've kinda answered your own question mate.  The more you bet/play, the better your offers get.  I have a SkyBet account that I just fart about with £1 accumulators etc on the footie. I steer clear of the slots etc as I can't believe they are not a con. At least sporting events are outside the direct control pf the bookies (I hope!)   I've got up to £5 lose no bet on the first race every day at Cheltenham too

    Very impressive winner there tbf. Happy to see a place for Champ Kiely though. (Deano!)

    The biggest surprise of that first race was the Betfair SP of the winner at 4.64 (over 7/2) as opposed to the bookie SP of 5/2

    unsurprisingly I had my free fiver on Gaelic Warrior despite fancying the favourite.  You live and learn!

    I was on Gaelic Warrior too. Had Impaire Et Passe in the ITV7 so the dream is alive for another 20 mins or so 😅

    What a brilliant day yesterday.   Cleaned up with Monbeg, Honeysuckle and Constitution Hill / State Man forecast.    State Man is a very, very good horse and has to find a way to not spend its career racing against Constitution Hill.   

    Brilliant cheer as Honeysuckle won.    I only backed her when I realised at the course that it was not going to be as Heavy as predicted.   

    Am hopeful of a decent day today, but had Hermes Allen in the first and it just couldn't find anything up the hill.  The winner is a very decent horse too.

    I've got for the remaining races : - 

    2.10   Gerri Colombe
    2.50   HMS Seahorse (Sky bet paying top 8)
    3.30   Edwardstone - but not backing it, unless a small win 
    4.10   Delta Work - but not backing it, unless a small win
    4.50   Final Orders
    5.30   A Dream To Share (got 6s at the weekend), It's For Me and Western Diego


    Good luck all !   The 3.30 should be a cracker !

    In the last month or so, Paddy Neville has been picking off two and three runner races in the north of England  and this win makes it 6 from his last 16 runners. I think that this one is somewhat different from his ones.

    Another near miss, thought Camprond had that.
