Cheltenham Bet

The great value offered to punters is one reason why a Cheltenham free bet is so popular, with some of the best horses in racing able to be backed at big prices. Around 500 horses feature somewhere in the Cheltenham odds as they look for a share of the winnings from the 27 Cheltenham races taking place over the four-day Festival that transpires every March. Meanwhile, taking advantage of ante-post Cheltenham Festival prices gives punters the chance to boost their profits further.

Pick your best Cheltenham bets on a daily basis

A huge selection of top Cheltenham Festival runners line up over the four days, with each day witnessing an especially pivotal race. The Champion Hurdle is perhaps the biggest opportunity for a Cheltenham bet on the opening day of the Festival, as the runners looking to prove they are the best sprint hurdlers over a two-mile trip. The Champion Chase and the World Hurdle are other Cheltenham racing highlights for punters to keep tabs on. Bet now with Ladbrokes.com

Make sure you have a Cheltenham Gold Cup bet

However, the big Cheltenham betting highlight arrives on the final day of the Festival when the star feature on the racecard is the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Because of the calibre of the horses running at the Festival, Cheltenham favourites are often reasonably long prices, but the favourite in the Cheltenham Gold Cup betting tends to be much shorter. Kauto Star and Best Mate are recent examples of short Cheltenham Gold Cup favourites.
