TWO-NIL TO THE BOOKIES – PUNTERS KO’d BY CHELTENHAM RESULTS!
The bookies were bounding out of Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday after just two winning favourites from thirteen races left Britain’s biggest bookies William Hill to declare it a ‘bloodbath’ for punters.
Punters had to wait until the sixth race on Tuesday and Wednesday before a fancied runner stormed up the famous hill in front, where at that point, the Cheltenham bookies had already bagged the lion’s share.
Spokesman for William Hill, David Hood, explained.’’ We can’t recall when a Cheltenham Festival started so badly for punters. It has been another stellar day for the bookmakers. Almost every Cheltenham favourite has been KO’d along with a million punters’ dreams. You cannot underestimate the devout following that the Cheltenham Festival commands – and we’re suddenly coming around to the plan for a five-day Festival!’’
However, Irish punters were given a silver lining by Hills following victories for the Irish-trained pair Big Zeb (Queen Mother Champion Chase), and Weapon’s Amnesty (RSA Chase). The bookies had vowed to bump up the ‘starting price’ of any Irish-trained winner by two market moves – to celebrate the Nation’s National Day. The Irish-trained duo both won at odds of 10-1, but thanks to Hills special – those who backed Big Zeb, and Weapon’s Amnesty were paid out at odds of 12-1.
William Hill spokesman David Hood said “Weapons Amnesty and Big Zeb were both really well backed by Irish punters, and we estimate that our St.Patrick’s Day special has cost us an extra few hundred thousand in payouts.” He continued “St Patrick’s Day is a big day of celebration in Ireland, and we hope those who backed the Irish trained horses – enjoy a few pints of Guinness on us!”
Big Zeb wins the champion hurdle, Master Minded finishes 4th and never looked like winning. What a champion hurlde result!

Download your free Cheltenham Gold Cup sweepstake kit courtesy of www.mybetting.co.uk

Just open the sweepstake kit page, print it out and cut out the runners. Then randomly draw each horse and insert names in the table on the second page, to keep a record of who has which horse. Perhaps charge £5 to pick a horse, making a £55 pot. I would suggest that 1st place takes home £35, 2nd place £15 and 3rd place £5. Please let me know how you get on. Who will win the office sweep?
The bookmakers are desperate for your business for the Cheltenham Festival this year and are offering fantastic freebet offers which expire on Friday, so open an account now or you will miss out on the generous bonuses.
