The Greatest Show on Turf - Cheltenham festival 2024

[gaz76]

I have just managed to withdraw my £10. When its cleared I'm closing my account with them.
A bunch of total amateurs. Just don't need the hassle.

I got an email off city promoting mgm and the free bets offer, so signed up, took about 4 goes for the account to get created, the screen froze countless times, loads on twitter complaining they not paying out.
Think I will swerve this one, are they being run by city's ticket office?

Avoid MGM lads, they are complete crooks, seen loads of people struggling to withdraw winnings off them

As soon as my withdrawal clears I’m closing my account. They can stick their ‘free bets’ where the sun don’t shine.

PP and Hills have free bet offers every day and you'll actually get paid!

What are we saying for the Cross Country (if it's on). Delta Work been there and done it but Coko Beach been good this season.

Cross country race today has been cancelled until hopefully later in the week.

Edit*** not going to be run at all this week.

Cross Country abandoned, Henderson pulling out horses left right and centre and one stable having 5 of the 8 runners in a Grade 1 novice hurdle .... think the thread title needs editing.

I've watched Cheltenham on tv 40 years + and still enjoy the festival. But it's definitely losing it's appeal. Mainly due to lack of competition especially from the English. Let's be honest the Irish are running things. Jonbon today will help me enjoy it more.

To be honest, the Festival has been losing its appeal for the last 5 or 6 years for me. 10 years ago you got a couple of odds on shots, that were champions and had been there and done it previously. These days, more races than not on the first two days have odds on favourites. That coupled up with ‘Peaky Blinder’ lot that rock up to Cheltenham and never even watch a race have killed it for me. It’s the first time in over 25 years that I’ve not been this year. Had a few pangs yesterday to be honest and wished I had gone but soon got over it. If they do add another day to the Festival as they keep threatening to do (and I think they will) then it will be totally fucked. I’m hoping some of Mullin’s big shots go down today, but I don’t think they will.
