Hi all,

I received this free betting guide from RacingTV for the Cheltenham festival and am just wondering if anyone else receives this and if its useful in anyway?
Im not really a better/gambler as such, and reading this it does feel like it might be just more "betting stimulus" to encourage people to bet.
But as Ive got it and it was free I just wanted to make sure Im not missing a trick with this.

My initial thoughts were maybe I could get an idea of where the money is likely to come to and trade off that. But as there are 6 leading contenders on each race over the 4 days, it doesn't exactly narrow it down... I mean, all 6 cant be backed, some are likely to drift. So Im thinking this guide could cloud my judgement... better to trade what you see, not what you think etc.

Any thoughts? :?: :ugeek:

TIA

I mean... it's likely to be better insight than the racing post but it probably isn't going to give you 28 winners.

There may be a few clues spelled out for you however, especially around suitable ground for the horses... With the weather a little unpredictable over the coming days (forecast to be ok but have seen other forecasts which are a little more 'dramatic'), the difference between Gd/Soft and Heavy ground will prove a huge difference to some horses chances (and likely pre-off price movements).

I form guide is as good as the person/people writing it. It could be written by a leading guru or somebody with a passing interest in racing, like Claire Balding, for example. :)
