Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

[ComplyOrDie]

Feel a bit silly, but today I've cashed out my silly trebles bets I had.

They were:

Samcro (Supreme) 20/1
Petit Mouchoir (Arkle) 12/1
BD (CH) 4/1
AJ (Mares) 3/1

Also had the same bets again but swapped BD out for Faugheen at 6/1.

None of these were NRNB, so full risk attached. I don't actually think Samcro will go for the Supreme and I only staked in total 3.2pts for both sets of trebles, 0.2pts e/way per treble.

The cash out for both combined was just over 52pts which is good enough profit for me. I will re-stake 40pts on Samcro for the Supreme as NRNB, that way I can still have him covered in the knowledge that when he likely goes for the Ballymore I would have made the sensible decision when it came to the cash out available.

I know many right now wouldn't cash out a 20/1 ticket on Samcro, but as it was an unlikely bet to land, needing trebles from 4 horses and the fact I would already be in dreamland should Apples Jade, Buveur D'air & Petit Mouchoir win anyway I didn't see the need for the added risk when I can take good profit already.

Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I feel much happier knowing I have him NRNB, rather than the whole bet reduce down to absolutely nothing when he is declared for the Ballymore, not to mention as stated above, it would be enough, without Samcro winning any race should Petit Mouchoir, AJ & BD all win anyway!!

Have added Footpad and Laurina to that for 49/1

I chucked in BVD for 14/1. Good shouts though, im already on the day 1 acca so would basically be rebacking that

I've taken advantage of this HF, and they accommodated a decent stake too.
Crucially this is for any race, so whilst we know where Footpad and BD will be heading Samcro looking like he could win half the festival races is covered if they do decide on anything outside the Ballymore....

Is it NRNB do you know Ista?

It doesn't say Ryan and I assume it was ante post rules but I've just seen that all 'any race' bets with Sky are NRNB so perhaps the concession applies to the specials too.
They've all had their preps now so only injury can keep them away from GL50....

I think their specials last year were NRNB. Think ill invest, trying not to put all my eggs in the same basket though

That 5-1 is a cracking bet

Samcro/BDA/Footpad treble boosted to 5/1 from 3/1

Is it still NRNB? Doesn't say .... I assume it is but ...?

[archie]

As the 3/1 would represent the NRNB treble you'd hope that 5/1 does.

That is a beauty of a bet that like, my only worry is that I have all them horses covered in alot more multiples so would be a big disappointment if one let me down as it would have a huge knock on

I backed Footpad Arkle 6/1 Faugheen Champion Hrdle 5/1 Monalee 10/1 7.50 ew returns 810 quid if all comes in. I still reckon Faugheen will win one big race before he retire. Backed it in October.

[darlojim]

Looking through my AP bets my week pretty much revolves around a few horses:
Samcro (Ballymore)
Apples Jade
Footpad

If they can come in im well in profit, if Might Bite ,Monalee (rsa) and Apples Shakira can do the business too I'll be in a huge amount of profit!

[Kevloaf]

Jono just asked them and it is NRNB .... seems a good bet IMO. Already covered all of them but still seems a nice bet

[jkite16]

It is a very nice bet!!

I've just had my £5 free bet with Skybet on the following:

Samcro, Footpad, Min, BVD - all to win any race by 5+ lengths...

Now I fully expect all of them to win (Min the only one i'm lacking in confidence), but at 150/1 it's definitely worth a bit of interest to see how they all hose up!!
