Well done Mark for getting the winner on the Friday ,there's one thing Ur honest in your tips and genuine, looking forward to 2025, regards Gerard from Cork
Thanks marks I hope you do Aintree,I am a national hunt man,no interest in that flat,Ur were up against the ropes and still came out winning, imagine if you got a run on them the damage you could do,be great if you could do an Aintree,let your followers know if your doing Aintree, regards Gerard from Cork and all the best
The rabbit was well and truly pulled out of the hat- congratulations. I was convinced Absurde would hate the ground having run on the concrete in Melbourne- how wrong I was and how shrewd you were. Thanks for all your hard work in the run up to the Festival. I have watched all of your videos and love your total honesty and transparency.
Really pleased for you Mark. Even if you hadn’t have returned a profit it wouldn’t have stopped me watching your videos, but I totally understand why you wanted to make a profit for the seventh year in a row. Top man
Well done Mark another year of profit, im only catching up now as i was reflecting on my own good and bad decisions during my antepost journey, i had a few great bets early which i stupidly cashed out when they didnt fire at d start of season but luckily just scraped a profit myself, but again im seem 2 be concentrating on the ones i let go more than d wins😢😢 i hope u continue your vids in d future. Thanks for your time
Well done on your profit Mark! Watched most of your content this year and picked up a few good bets from you. I do a lot of spread betting ante post with the bookies money, so most horses you say and other you tubers, go in the mix! 7 years of success doing it this way, but always been a couple of horses away from a £50k PLUS win. £7k up this year so can't grumble too much, but I always want more! 2025 will be our year!! haha
Well done Mark, you put so much effort into the videos and glad Absurde came through for you. They’re always a really good watch. Wasn’t able to engage too much with Cheltenham this year due to work commitments but had a good win on Protektorat with a nice AP price. Look forward to the Aintree content!
i first found you leading in to day 1...listened to several chelrenhanm previews ...then daily in the know AND UPPING THE ANTE and then listened to you each day....found you very informative...and very very helpful....heped me to a winning week
Fair play Mark. Learned an awful lot from you throughout the year and backed Absurde after the video but unfortunately cooled off him (and Majborough) in the morning with the drifts. Still one of my most profitable festivals with a large thanks due to you. Looking forward to next year!
A profit is a profit no matter how little, doing this 7 seasons running is impressive in anyone's book. Apologies for calling you Dave 😂😂😂.... Keep up the good work
Well done mate. A fantastic bet on absurde. Had so many near misses myself. O’Connor and galopin saved the week for me. Kargese and romeo coolio did me for a few quid. All the best mate
Aye was same Fruday Kargese, Jukebox man , dinoblue, its on the line & waterford whispers all on the Friday. Marks persuaded me to go for Absurde and so glad i did after being chinned 5 times over the day
Delighted for you mark, could see you were demoralised going into yesterday so for your own confidence it’s great to see you get the winner up. Fair play
Well done on another profit Mark. Always enjoy your analysis and commentary. Went for the Skelton horse in County. Thought the ground was wrong for yours………followed you in on GW doubled with your tip in cross country. Would have turned my small loss on the week into reasonable profit. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks again for the vids.
enjoy your videos buddy honest to a fault you are & it's really encapsulating how you feel when your bets don't go well &,you feel you've let yourself down when trying to make a profit,you've done great making the profit yet again !!!.keep up the good work bud,see ya nxt year !!!!
Well done on absurde. I HAD 5X 2NDS on the Friday 🙈🙈🙈🙈 i decided to go with your tip absurbe & boom it saved my friday. I dnt usually back other peoples tips rather lose on my own but I had the money after a few good days thought I really want you to win for the videos so I went in the same as you. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fancied The winner of the fox hunters and thanks you I put it in a double with Absurde .Turned a good cheltenham into a Great one can't thank you enough Cheers 🍻🍻
Interesting to hear your thought process Mark. You definitely worry way too much! I posted on this message of yours last year I was going to have lots of AP bets on the El Fab and GDC double and sure enough I did. When the champion chase looked a two horse race I had some savers on Jonbon! 🙈🙈 So although I won nothing from those bets that will remain my strategy for next year. Worst still I had Constitution Hill in a few bets with El Fab and GDC. I think Fact to File will be interesting next year and I wouldn’t give up on El Fab. As I go to Cheltenham I’m betting on every race and I see it more as a fun hobby and I think most of your subscribers will too. Take care mate and thanks for all your efforts. 🙏🙏
Great work..👏👏👏👏 Hope the pressure of trying to pick winners didnt damper your week. Hope your back next season with this excellent channel. Your revord is second to none. You can sit back and relax now...top work!!
@@Cheltenham-Chat I had a shocking antepost with horses getting injured/switching races and even having to retire. It was looking like a big loss but one big return antepost slip stayed alive with Lossimouth and Ballyburn winning... It all rested on Allagorie de vassey and I could really lay her off being around 5/1 fot most of the week. I played my entire festival on multies finishing with Limerick lace and Dinoble also in the Mares chase and finished with a nice profit(would have taken a 50% loss going in) Stella story was the icing on the cake who I'd bet at 33/1 last September in singles and doubles which all landed. Like yourself a up n down week but it all came good in the end. Roll on next year. Thanks again for the time and effort you put in..class!👌
I really enjoyed Cheltenham week with myvtwib brother hes not a racing person its his first time at any racecourse Was giving him the tips which i did my EW Doubke He had Monte star 14)1 Captain Guiness 14/1 €0.35 Win bet Captain Guiness 14/1 Better days ahead 11/1 EW Captain Guiness Better days ahead 11)1 A few other bets He made €330 My biggest enjoyment was hearing him roaring on Rachael Captain Guiness I been going since 1985 I used to live in Cheltenham I had 15 winners but didnt connect with them all €2.00 win €342 Stage Steel or Mystical Power to win 6/4 Gaelic Warrior 2/1 Chanti Classico 6/1 Corbetts Cross 2/1 . €0 .50 Win €599 Lossiemouth 11/4 Fact to file 14/1 Marjbough 20/1 A few other small bets Profit €1,002.00
Ante post is dead now mark should of stayed at 3 days racing would be more competitive, now you get novices entered everywhere up to the Sunday before the festival, and like you say the prices you get these days are shocking! Always a good watch Mark all the best
Glad u decided to continue to bet with the bank after gala (not sure if u remember my message) and also so happy u made a profit again, that is ur mindset and the bank clean. Please don’t bet with the bank next year as I think it constricts ur potential and it’s way too much of a stress with the small amount of bets u have as 1 bet can become a massive issue ie gala or the none runners u had last year. Do hope u continue ur vids as loved watching for a while just think a new approach rather than the bank for next festival Absurde ❤
Next year I'll change my system and not do ante post singles until nrnb. My lucky15 ,63"s will be on the day to guarantee runners. Lost out this year with horses missing the cut or switching races.
Good shooting again Mark, the county was disaster for me, fancied absurde all week, rain came and decided to go afadil and leau du sud instead Thoughts on nicky Henderson ?
Stephen, surely one of those should have won the Mares Novice. They went slower than a funeral and the two favs sat in behind. It was madness. They had the best two horses in that race. Well imho. Thanks for watching 😊
Hey there the you go, never doubted the rabbit was coming mate😊. Congrats on 7 years profit in a row, great achievement really pleased for you Mark. The special one wins the Gold Cup next year😮. Only joking😂😂😂. All the best mate and well done again.
Thanks Steve. Looking forward to your review. Love your videos. I have seen a bet for next year but can’t get on online so just have to hope price holds long enough. Are you doing Aintree etc ?
@@Cheltenham-Chat Cheers Mark I do appreciate that. Well I had 4 today! 20/1, 25/1, 50/1 & 100/1. Only small stakes, 6 pts in total.1 more I'd maybe back but only priced up at 1 and want bigger than that really. Yea will do Fairyhouse, Aintree & Punchestown then I'm hibernating till sept/oct.
Profit is profit mark you put your time and effort in to these videos same as the rest of the podcast lads that do Cheltenham videos you talk what you think we the viewers don't have to follow anyone in don't be harsh honestly in profit again year 7 winning that's all we try to do as punters keep up the good hard work and hopefully your get your race reviews out be interesting on your views and also would like to hear if you find something to do something for aintree would be interesting 🤔
The game has changed, Mark. Ante Post is dead and even early prices to a great degree are just being squeezed beyond value. How you made a profit this year is nothing short of miraculous...keep the faith..☘️🥃🐎
Well....my first loss in 10 years.£425 bank , £374 returns. Devastated really, Fastorslow first fall , probably wouldnt have won but a place at 16/1 would have put me in profit. 2 seconds in Envoi Allen 14/1 and Brighterdaysahead 8/1 buggered up more than a few bets. If I had backed all my horses in singles I would have been well up but that's not my bag. So , although not in the poor house my proud record is broken. Tuesday Slade Steel 33/1✔️ Chianti Classico 14/1✔️ Tellmesomethinggirl 20/1(2nd) Wednesday Ballyburn 12/1✔️ Langer Dan 14/1✔️ Captain Guiness 20/1✔️ Thursday Grey Dawning 9/1✔️ Envoi Allen 14/1 (2nd) Brighterdaysahead 8/1 (2nd) Friday Majborough 16/1✔️ Stella Story 25/1✔️ Limerick Lace 11/2✔️ Sine Nominine 12/1✔️ ( not antepost.) And still lost 😂😂
Love the videos & delighted you won & work so hard for success but again you make absurd comments about Langer Dan as you cant put him up 12lb & not drop him if he runs badly & thats end of argument as all horses MUST be hcapped on each performance & if he does the coral cup treble In 2025 they should rename the race That Langer Dan did us again cup !!!! all comments made with tongue in cheek !!!! Well done Mark.
Really pleased for you Mark. Even if you hadn’t have returned a profit it wouldn’t have stopped me watching your videos, but I totally understand why you wanted to make a profit for the seventh year in a row. Top man
Well done Mark, it's harder than ever now so any profit is good profit

In 20 23 i won a competition on a prodicast it was to
Cheltenham 2024

Ante post is dead now mark should of stayed at 3 days racing would be more competitive, now you get novices entered everywhere up to the Sunday before the festival, and like you say the prices you get these days are shocking! Always a good watch Mark all the best
Agree it should be 3 day festival.
Glad u decided to continue to bet with the bank after gala (not sure if u remember my message) and also so happy u made a profit again, that is ur mindset and the bank clean.
Please don’t bet with the bank next year as I think it constricts ur potential and it’s way too much of a stress with the small amount of bets u have as 1 bet can become a massive issue ie gala or the none runners u had last year.
Do hope u continue ur vids as loved watching for a while just think a new approach rather than the bank for next festival
Absurde ❤
I may not use the bank next year as I may have no betting accounts but I could do it without posting bets.
Next year I'll change my system and not do ante post singles until nrnb. My lucky15 ,63"s will be on the day to guarantee runners. Lost out this year with horses missing the cut or switching races.
Well done mark ur great man fair play u I wud not like be doing what u do
Thanks 👍
Good shooting again Mark, the county was disaster for me, fancied absurde all week, rain came and decided to go afadil and leau du sud instead
Thoughts on nicky Henderson ?
Nicky protects his horses too much but he has some very good horses and either at Aintree or next season he will win a host of big races.
comedy gold!....having a go at Townend and Kennedy.
Stephen, surely one of those should have won the Mares Novice. They went slower than a funeral and the two favs sat in behind. It was madness. They had the best two horses in that race. Well imho. Thanks for watching 😊
Well done on pulling it off yet again 🎉 any chance of a betting bank for Punchestown?🙏🏼😅
Colin. I’ll do some videos but no bank it’s too tough and working more by then.. Thanks for watching.
Hey there the you go, never doubted the rabbit was coming mate😊. Congrats on 7 years profit in a row, great achievement really pleased for you Mark.
The special one wins the Gold Cup next year😮.
Only joking😂😂😂.
All the best mate and well done again.

Yea will do Fairyhouse, Aintree & Punchestown then I'm hibernating till sept/oct.
I’d name that 25-1 I bet you did it at Skybet and it maybe female ?

Thanks for the comment and for watching the videos. I’ll try to do Aintree.
3 races I never look at or get involved with as there far too many unknowns. And they are the Bumper, the Fred Winter and the Albert Bartlett.
I quite like the bumper but this year I struggled with it.
@Cheltenham-Chat we have very limited evidence on bumper runners, so not a good betting race.
The game has changed, Mark. Ante Post is dead and even early prices to a great degree are just being squeezed beyond value. How you made a profit this year is nothing short of miraculous...keep the faith..☘️🥃🐎
Hi Kevin, It is very tough with the books these days. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Love the videos & delighted you won & work so hard for success but again you make absurd comments about Langer Dan as you cant put him up 12lb & not drop him if he runs badly & thats end of argument as all horses MUST be hcapped on each performance & if he does the coral cup treble In 2025 they should rename the race That Langer Dan did us again cup !!!! all comments made with tongue in cheek !!!!

Thanks Harp you had a good festival.
Well done. The game is gone
Agree the game is gone. The bookies don’t want bets.
Langer Dan peeded me off as well that's not a good look for the sport.
Totally agree. Handicapper badly at fault as well.
Really pleased for you Mark. Even if you hadn’t have returned a profit it wouldn’t have stopped me watching your videos, but I totally understand why you wanted to make a profit for the seventh year in a row. Top man
Thanks Jack.
