If you go to back a certainty always buy a return ticket.

Thanks CJ, is only for maximum £25, but have just taken that offer.
Value Is Everythingproblem with that offer(sky bet) you normally backing well under the odds(as in 9/2 smad place today)
1:50 Cheltenham
21 points each way @ 8/1 (Sportsbook) Smad Place* (min 7/1)
19 points each way @ 9/1 (Sportsbook) Many Clouds* (min 15/2)Not a bad start.
Value Is EverythingHi GT – Surely that Yanworth bet was surely before todays race. Odds now 3/1 best price. VC are 5/2.
Hi GT – Surely that Yanworth bet was surely before todays race. Odds now 3/1 best price. VC are 5/2.
Immediately after the race Mtoto (and I mean within seconds) I had a look on Oddschecker where they were mostly showing Yanworth around 8/1 for the Festival. Then heard Tanya Stevenson say something like “Blah and De and Blah (three bookies) have shortened to 5/2 (think including Paddy Power) but VC (and some other firm) are 9/2”. Did I hear that wrong? Presume VC weren’t 9/2 when most were around 8/1 this morning?
I continued looking at Oddschecker where the odds all turned blue (for shortening). Some were 5/2, some were 3/1, Bet Fred were definitely 7/2 along with I believe Boylesports; VC were showing 9/2 which is why I quoted 9/2 in my post with 7/2 as the minimum price to take.
9/2 was on Oddschecker quite a long time after the race. Kept on looking until my interest in the Cleeve (3:35) took over, about five or ten minutes before that race (3:30 or 3:25). After the Cleeve, Yanworth’s top price was showing 3/1. Unfortunately, my VC account was closed some time ago, Bet Fred only allow me SP (just as well be closed) and I don’t have an account with Boylesports. Betfair’s top price since today’s race has always been no bigger than around 3/1, so I haven’t been able to back the bloody horse myself. :lol:
If anyone can please look in today’s Racing Post to check VC’s Festival price this morning (if they’ve got Cheltenham ante-post prices in the paper) – would be grateful. Also, if anyone tried to back Yanworth with VC @ 9/2 before 3:16 and couldn’t get on – then let me know and I’ll change the Yanworth bet.
Value Is Everythingso you quoted a price/bet you did not place,sorry if i have read that wrong but that does seem a bit odd.
Not having a dig ginger(as i enjoy this thread)just thought you must have bagged 9/2
apologizes if i have read the situation wrongly(which is more than likely)Cheers GT – They must have been bowled over at the 9/2. Yanworth was mighty impressive today. Seems that the VC 9/2 only lasted a minute or so then into 7/2 at @ 3.12pm then into 5/2 @ 4.01pm. See link below
Found this by clicking on horses name on oddschecker – quite a useful function.
