Cheltenham Festival Betting Guidelines
General: To get started on your Cheltenham Festival betting you’ll need to determine the runners for the different races, get access to a form guide and open an account with an online sportsbook. With that done you’re ready to get started on your betting.
Odds: A number of races at the Cheltenham Festival will produce strong antepost favourites, making it a challenge for punters to secure odds that pay out at top value. It is therefore essential that punters make use of a quality odds comparison service when betting on the Cheltenham Festival, as this will assist them in finding top value, a full range of betting markets for each race as well as important information on each-way and place payments.
Form: Unless you’re betting on the novice races at the Cheltenham Festival, form over the previous two seasons is the single most reliable indicator of a horse’s prospects in any given race. You’ll find that the majority of winners in all the Cheltenham Festival races either won or showed at the race immediately prior to the Cheltenham Festival event. Visit the Racing Post to access detailed form records for all active national hunt racehorses.
Going: Many, but not all, racehorses show a preference for specific track conditions and will tend to rack up the majority of their wins in specific conditions. The track at Cheltenham Racecourse will therefore play a major role in the outcome of many races. Keep an eye on weather conditions using our Cheltenham Festival course weather page and place your bets according to forecast turf conditions.
Handicaps: If you’re looking for top odds look no further than the handicap races run at the Cheltenham Festival. These races tend to feature large fields, with the work of the handicapper ensuring that prices are high for most entries. Most handicaps pay to 5th place, so each-way and place betting is the logical choice for these events. With most of the field priced over the 10/1 margin punters can place several bets and still cash in if only one entry comes home placed.
