As I'm not in Cheltenham to Wednesday evening and am stuck in the office today and tomorrow I'm planning on opening an online account with a bookie. Can anyone recommend one that is either very good, has a good offer on for new members, or preferably both.

It's worth opening a few different accounts to take advantage of various offers, some of them are extremely generous. Several bookies going each-way 1/4 odds on the first five in the handicap chase for instance, which is very fair given there are 19 runners so probably overbroke in the place market even with four place.

Cue Card was 100-30 with Stan James a little while ago. You could back him there, and back everything else with Paddy Power and you're in a no-lose situation.

Several firms doing 1/4 first four in the opener too. Bet365 are, and they're based in Britain rather than offshore, so if you lose, racing gets some money too.

First day bets for me: The Rainbow Hunter (25-1), Swing Bill (16-1) and Magen's Star e/w (20-1). I'm going to rich, I tell you! Rich!

Cue Card beaten.
Had the 1st and 2nd there and Magens Star nowhere.

 

[sam86]

Good start.

 

[chops]

Had Al Ferof to win with my ladbrokes £5 free bet. Quids in on race one. Kerching!

 

[8ace]

[Scotty Mac]

al ferof at 10s with paddypower was a pretty decent start - it's all down hill from here now though

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Got Captain Chris at 8's wit Corals better odds

 

[sam86]

All going wrong now...

 

[Taybha]

[SeagullTim]

[sam86]

2nd winner out of 4. But not very good odds on that one!

 

[Scotty Mac]

three out of four for me now - although ive only had ONE on the tipping challenge

worryingly, looks like all the good luck will be used up before ive even got to the track tomorrow

 

[Titanic]

I like the look of the cross country race... that's looks like a real test for man and beast!

 

[sam86]

3 in 6, but another with poor odds. Need Definity or Quantitativeeasing in the 5.15 to come in for an accy.
