Ryan,

 

If you've not got a bet Victor account get one.

 

bet £25 and get a free £25 bet, plus refunds on all losing bets up to £50 on the 1.30 race tomorrow.

 

So, open the account, stick £25 on Champagne Fever at 7/1 and get a free £25. And if it loses, it has cost you nothing.

What do you think of Champagne's chnaces tomorrow? Also my other selections?

 

Thanks for the heads up on the free bet, i'll do that

What do I think of yours?

 

I backed Champagne Fever at last year's festival, when he won the bumper at 16/1 on Day 2.

He followed that up with two more good wins, then 2 disappointing rides before seeming to recapture his from last time out.

I do like him, but I'm not sure he'll beat MTOY. However 13/8 is prohibitive about MTOY, so E/W on Champagne Fever would be a good call for you.

(I've already backed MTOY at 7/2 earlier!)

 

Simonsig is in a 2 horse race IMO, and I rate it slightly better than Overturn, but 8/13 is very short.

It's a pity there's not 8 runners: I'd have taken Arvika Ligeonniere for an E/W bet.

 

Opening Batsman isn't running until Thursday, I think.

 

Hurricane Fly? Yes, of course. It could be a great race and I wouldn't actually be too surprised to see Binocular come back to top form.

 

I think Uncle Junior has too much weight and age for my liking. I've not studied this one in great detail yet, but I do hold an E/W ticket for A New Story at 33/1

 

Quevega should piss it, but at very short odds.

 

Shangani has every chance. Unfortunately you can say that about loads in this race. Pin-stickers paradise!

Thanks for that mate, good luck.

 

First time in about 6 years I've not time off for the festival.

 

I'm going to V+ it and watch when I get home from work, is that sad?

It's not sad at all.

 

Reading the results doesn't tell you much about a race, but if it seems like a poor race on paper, you can skip it.

Plus if it's recorded, you can watch the whole day's action in 30 minutes:ideal for those without time to spare.

 

Personally I hate Cheltenham.

for me , tomorrow is a day for the 4 short priced favs in doubles and trebles .

 

will also back UN ATOUT in the first .

Ryan,

 

Ladbrokes are giving money back on losing Simonsig bets, so use them for that one.

I hate national day, bookies full of twats using there £1 free bet vouchers from the papers, causing massive queues and hassling for help.

 

Best thing I ever did opening an online account.

No worries, mate: happy to help.

 

Anyway Matt's doing full previews of every day. Here's day 1 : http://www.geegeez.co.uk/cheltenham-festival-2013-day-one-preview-tips/

 

I'll have a read of that when I get home :-)

 

For those interested in Simonsig tomorrow. Z

 

If you open a Boyle Sports account, they'll give you 3/1 for Simonsig.

Where have you seen that one, mate?

 

Got a link?

Cheers, mate.

No good to me, of course, but I'm sure some of the Geegeez readers could use it.
