The Importance of Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting<\/h2>\n\"Cheltenham\n

The Cheltenham Festival is the biggest meeting in the annual horse racing calendar. Over four days at Cheltenham Racecourse, horse racing fans are treated to top quality action.<\/p>\n

Running from the middle Tuesday to Friday in March each year, the highlight of each day is a Grade 1 feature race. The Champion Hurdle takes place on Tuesday, with the Queen Mother Champion Steeple Chase on Wednesday and the Stayers’ Hurdle on the Thursday, warming up the huge crowd for the blue riband event of the Festival, that takes place on Friday.<\/p>\n

That event is the Cheltenham Gold Cup. It is not just the biggest race of the Festival, but also the most prestigious of all National Hunt events. Run over an official distance of three miles two furlongs and seventy yards, the horses jump 22 fences.<\/p>\n

The showpiece event of the Cheltenham Festival is most valuable non-handicap chase in the UK, with the prize money totalling \u00a3625,000 for the 2024 event. This race has been won by some legendary racehorses such as Arkle, Best Mate, Cottage Rake, Denman, Desert Orchid, Golden Miller, Kauto Star, L\u2019Escargot and Mill House.<\/p>\n

Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting Offers<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re betting on Cheltenham Gold Cup markets, it pays to have a little bit extra on your side. Here are some of the Cheltenham betting offers<\/a> that you can take advantage of on Gold Cup day.<\/p>\n

New Customer Offers<\/h3>\n

When you sign up with a horse racing betting site you can expect a welcome offer. Many are bet and get deals. You sign up, deposit and make a qualifying bet and in return you get Cheltenham free bets<\/a> to use. The biggest bookmakers have extremely generous new customer offers, particularly around the time of the Cheltenham Festival.<\/p>\n

Best Odds Guaranteed<\/h3>\n

Make sure that Best Odds Guaranteed is in place with Cheltenham Gold Cup betting. If you place a bet and the starting price of the horse is ultimately higher, the bookie will pay out at those bigger odds. Most bookmakers that take horse racing seriously have BOG in place.<\/p>\n

Extra Place Races<\/h3>\n

When you make an each way bet, you are placing one wager on your horse to win and another for it to place. With Extra Place Races, Cheltenham betting sites<\/a> improve the place terms. So if the Gold Cup has a number of runners that would normally see a first-three finish being rewarded with a place, it will be extended to the first four.<\/p>\n

Non-Runner No Bet<\/h3>\n

When it comes to Cheltenham Gold Cup ante post betting, it pays to have a non-runner money back deal in place to protect you. From January onwards, you can place ante-post bets for the Gold Cup that have a NRNB guarantee. Should you bet on a horse that ends up being a Cheltenham non-runner<\/a>, you will get your bet stake back.<\/p>\n
