Tuesday (Day 1) – Chat/Tips/General Thread

We had these daily threads last year and they were good craic.

Assuming you have any time at all before and in-between races on what will be a clusterf*ck of a day then post in here to tell us what you fancy, what you’re on and how MASSIVE your profits are!! 😀

I have failed to get any time off work this week, so will be trying my best to get bets on as and when I can. I underestimated just how exhausting these next 4 days are last year (my first MBing the Festival) so good luck to you all! Let’s hope it’s raining free bets!! 😉

New to matched betting?

My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

So I had a 4/1 winner on the 4.10 with Bet365 and now they’ve stake restricted me. Was able to get £25 on Neon Wolf – I assume that even though it’s less than 4/1, I’ll get the stake back if it loses?

Got through the last race avoiding the winner, just about 🙂

Good example of odds not coming in though, one of my selections was a small ql for the win at 26/27 and was 23/40 at the off! What might usually trigger prices coming down isnt reliable at cheltenham as liquidity is too high to predict market movements.

Good day overall, very tired now though…

Anondeplume, im not too sure i always thought the risk free bet had to be 4/1 but im sure someone on here will know for sure.

Nah you can back any odds with your risk free.

But you’re best off placing via desktop and clicking max stake option. That way if it wins you would receive winnings as if you’d bet £50 on it. (Assuming that’s what your risk free is).
I don’t believe it works if you manually enter the max stake.

Feeling pretty gutted to have lost that 365 account though.

‘Where you are unable to place the maximum risk free bet amount due to restrictions on your bet, we will credit the difference between the maximum risk free bet returns and your actual returns’

That’s the term. So worth chasing up either way.

I also got the £100 FB message (which has now disappeared).

No sign of the FB unsurprisingly.

Looks like someone’s fcuked up.

Might be worth a complaint on Chat.

Not a bad day overall. Every bet but 1 won with the exchange. The one that ‘came in’ was the £50 Betstars 2nd/3rd place refund on Un Temps Pour Tout at 14/1 so thats a nice chunk of the exchange in limbo. It was such a close race too, seems strange cheering on a horse to not win
