I will have a few bets each day. 2 years ago I ended up being 400 pounds up for the week but last year I was down by about 100 pounds. Just to remind people only bet what you can afford and some of the online bookies will give you a free bet to use for each day of the festival.

I'll certainly have a dabble, not going this year but will keep a keen eye out Not put anything on yet but as far as tomorrow goes, but I can see a fair few favourites winning, it's about dodging the one that doesn't. If one will falter, it'll be Gaelic Warrior at 2.10pm imo I think Tullyhill, State Man, Lossiemouth and Corbetts Cross will be a favourites 4 fold i'll probably put on Other horses, 1.30pm Jeriko Du Reponet, 2.10om Quilixios, 2.50 Stumptown, 4.10 Maries Rock, 4.50 Milan Tino

Thanks for the tips, always back a Mullins horse at Cheltenham, bit like our striker they find their feet well in Gloucestershire

Could never understand placing bets ante post! The weather forecast for tomorrow is shocking and it’s forecasting rain for Thursday and Friday! What is the point in backing a horse in November if you haven’t got a clue what the weather will be like in March! Oh, and don’t for fall that non-runner no bet rubbish as every owner and trainer wants their horses to run at Cheltenham.

Made the weeks betting money @ Wolverhampton last night which was a bonus! Now time to study, there's going to be lots of rain this week!

Looks like heavy going so it might be worth taking an each-way punt on a couple of mud-lovers - Not So Sleepy at 33/1 in the Champion Hurdle today and Hewick at 16/1 in the Gold Cup on Friday.

Loussiemouth lands a lovely treble 👍🎉 I reckon half the country were on that treble I stupidly got greedy and chucked Corbetts Cross in with the 3 of them - we shall see Must be a great day for the punters, lots of favourites doing well

Quilixios failing to get going was costly, but ended pretty even

Quilixios failing to get going was costly, but ended pretty even Not sure what happened there, seemed to be going nicely for a while but just fell away all of a sudden. I had high hopes for it and had it in a L15 E/W bet Excellent day overall - task now is to not lose it all by Friday

Well I had 3 winners today in Gaelic warrior,stateman and lossiemouth but I'd imagine most people had them.

El Fabiolo to go for the bookies to take another Mullins treble bashing
Surely a big favourite is due to flop soon...

My free bets have both won so I am in pocket at the moment. The Stayers hurdle tomorrow could be the race of the meeting- the unexposed Crambo should be able to put up a good show against the Irish raiders.
