How Well Do You Know Your Horses?
Cheltenham Tipping Competition
The Greatest Festival on Turf
Welcome to The Woolpack Cheltenham Festival Tipping Competition.
For those of you unfamiliar with the tipping competition, this is how it works:
You are awarded a notional £10 to stake on each race, which you can bet on a horse to win or each way. You have a daily “nap” selection where the stake will be doubled to £20.
Examples:
£10 win @ 10/1 returns £100
£5 EW win @ 10/1 returns £62.50 (based at ¼ odds)
£5 EW place @ 10/1 returns £12.50 (based at ¼ odds)
NAP £20 win @ 10/1 returns £200
Bets are settled at starting price and each way bets are paid as per terms on Skybet.
A cash prize is awarded to the top tipsters each day, which will be dependent on the number of entrants. There will also be a prize for the overall winner across the week.
The management’s decision is final in all cases!
How To Enter
To enter, please email your picks to cheers@thewoolpackpub.co.uk or send them directly to Steve or Dan.
Entry is £5 per day.
