    Just a small thought. I Just thought it would be interesting to find out how many different bookies people used during Cheltenham.
    I used six
    William Hill
    Bet365
    Paddy Power
    Skybet
    Ladbrokes
    Betfair
    I was wondering if this was excessive or normal or whatever.

    Obviously I used the different ones for price comparison but a lot of the time for extra places too!!

    It would be nice to know others thoughts…

    To be honest FF I mostly use Bet365 PP and Skybet . William Hill did special offers and so I joined and bet the sixth and seventh each way in the first race when they were going seven places and then had two wins with free £15 bets and I don’t think that pleased them and limits were put in place after that!! LOL

    Bet365 for the night before bets cos they offer BOG the night rand PP and Sky next morning cos they don’t do BOG until 9 o’clock day of the race but both of them usually offer more places than Bet365.

    Ladbrokes are thee just in case they are best price on the day which is not often I might say!!

    Betfair mostly for exchange bets on things that I think are overpriced so I can sell em back and have it both ways. Most of the time on Betfair Sportsbook the prices are the same as PP for obvious reasons.

    Youd be silly not to shop around during Cheltenham and use the best money back as cash/free bet/extra places offers that the bookies

    It’s very competitive racing so the extra places are needed

    Though saying that my e/w bets seem to finish one spot out of the places whether its 3 or 7 being paid hahaha

    Betfair all the way for me. Used to have the purple place as back up but not used them for a couple of years or more.

    Being retired, I’m on Betfair most days and for quite a few hours as well, that’s why this shutdown has affected me more than some; it’s like suddenly losing a job, even if said ‘job’ didn’t even pay minimum wage for the hours involved.
