That actually seems a pretty fair price to me MoM, even if it's not a free bet. I would have expected a shorter price by quite a bit.

For me there are 16 possible outcomes for the 3 horses targets (technically more but i'm happy to discount Laurina going RSA and Altior going anywhere bar the Champion Chase)

Altior
Champion Chase 6/4

Samcro
Champion Hurdle 7/1
Arkle 7/1
JLT 4/1
RSA 10/1

Laurina
Champion Hurdle 10/1
Arkle 10/1
JLT 20/1
Mares Hurdle 3/1

The early prices suggest, and the shortest combinations would be Altior CC, Samcro going JLT and Laurina Mares which comes in at 49/1.
So double the odds of the special. And plenty of other likely combinations, say Laurina CH and Samcro Arkle would come in much bigger (219/1).

But I'm happy to take the reduced price and bar injuries be able to sit back and not worry too much on the targets through the winter (both will be up in the air throughout). Obviously there is a slight risk that Samcro and Laurina could line up against eachother but that's very unlikely outcome for me.

Have had the max allowed bet on this.

I don’t tend to get involved on the request a bets but I was having a look through today for the Cheltenham 2019 ones. Glad I did as I’ll be using my free bets and some cash on this for as long as it stays above 16/1.

25s is huge in my opinion. I would’ve expecting skybet to offer between 8/1 and 12/1. The ‘any race’ bit is the crucial bit as it avoids the confusion of who runs where.
 
Any Race - Samcro, Laurina, Altior 25/1

I think the any race part is the appeal as you've mentioned.

With the free bets you could actually start using them on the actual combinations but it is a bit lugubrious!

Also priced at 25/1 in the same section is Douvan to win the stayers hurdle. Stupid price. I wouldn't back that at 250/1

Yep it’s the any race part that appeals.

I feel if they all turn up fit in separate races, that trebles would be five times shorter. I think 25s is huge tbh Kev.

The Douvan Stayers odds made me question what do I know about the sport. I couldn’t envisage in any way whatsoever Douvan being a 3m hurdler next season. And yet someone’s requested that price. He could go Champion Chase, Ryanair, Gold Cup or Champion Hurdle. But surely he won’t go to the Stayers? I
 
Yes, I have treated myself to a small interest too.
I quite liked the 7/1 Tiger Roll to defend his cross country crown, can’t imagine they’ll take him anywhere else and the only dangers that he doesn’t turn up are injury and winning the National and immediate retirement !

Couldn’t resist a small nibble at the Percy, Footpad, Penhill and Samcro any race acca at 200/1.
They may choose to avoid an Altior clash with Footpad and tackle the JLT and the others have more than shown their crudentials.
Speculative but 200/1 I’m happy taking a flyer...
 
This week’s free fiver has to go on the 25/1 Samcro, Laurina, Altior treble, but I’m hoping the 200/1 Accra mentioned above by Istabraq is still available next week, as that’s where that free bet will be going.
 
Sky offered the free £50 bet again this week if you place 5/6 bets of at least that value, I've managed to grab myself three free bets.
This is the second time they've done this to me knowledge, last time was just before Chelt, so well worth keeping an eye out...
 
Week 4 Free Bet has been placed. Like last week, it’s the Altior, Laurina and Samcro to win any race at the festival at 25/1 treble for me.
So far:
Week 1 - Canadian: Next Destination (RSA) 12/1, Altior (CC) 6/4, Samcro (JLT) 4/1, Monalee (Ryanair) 14/1, Might Bite (GC) 6/1
Week 2 - Gold Present (Grand National) 22/1 e/w
Week 3 - Altior, Laurina and Samcro to win any race at the 2019 Festival - 25/1
Week 4 - Altior, Laurina and Samcro to win any race at the 2019 Festival - 25/1

Nice offer that is. I don't use Sky often enoguh to see if they'd do that... too much hopping around for odds here and there.
 
Sadly got barred from all Skybet promotions after the Festival, somewhat understandable after really taking advantage of them for 9 months and with many free bets going onto BVD.
 
I see price boosts on the double of mite bite and supersundae (as expected) although it’s not a big boost

Both we have a dream and apples both price boosted (very toughrace to call)

What’s people fancy ?
I like Cyrname in the first, I am a apples shakira follower, will be having Bristol De mai and tommy silver in the 4.40

Not looked at much for the other two days but saw Danny kirwan is running in the last on the Friday (I know a few have mentioned it for next year)

There’s some discussion on this on the site on the grand national section.

I’m with you on Cyrname and Might Bite. Like Apples Shakira too.
 
With my week 2 Free bet on Gold Present being refunded, it’s gone on that Altior, Laurina and Samcro treble.

So I’m now:
Week 1 - Canadian: Next Destination (RSA) 12/1, Altior (CC) 6/4, Samcro (JLT) 4/1, Monalee (Ryanair) 14/1, Might Bite (GC) 6/1
Week 2 - Altior, Laurina and Samcro to win any race at the 2019 Festival - 25/1
Week 3 - Altior, Laurina and Samcro to win any race at the 2019 Festival - 25/1
Week 4 - Altior, Laurina and Samcro to win any race at the 2019 Festival - 25/1
 
Is the Laurina Altior Samcro bet still there as got £5 on and now cant find it ?
 
They have taken all the specials for fest down! Just as I was waiting to load up on some
