Mobile Casino Bonuses Explained

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you are looking for a mobile casino app to download you should take your time and make good considerations about the promotions that are available to you.

There is so much competition out there that casinos are fighting to win our custom, not the other way round! Although you should be cautious of promotions that sound too good to be true it is also important to be aware that many mainstream sites offer great promotions, and you don’t want to miss out on these for the sake of a few minutes of research.

What Are Mobile Casino Bonuses?

Just like sports betting sites offer a free bet or a promo when you join, online and mobile casino operators also like to offer a bonus to new players. A casino bonus is a promotion offered by numerous bookmakers in an attempt to attract more players to their sites. The basis of these promotions will involve a player signing up and depositing money onto a site and being rewarded in some way. Some of these bonuses will be easy to understand while others require a little more thinking before you fully commit.

So, with this in mind, what does a good mobile casino bonus look like? Well, firstly a good bonus will return some incentive from signing up to a casino. Every bonus will be different, but the best promotions should be good enough to act as a big enough incentive to sign up to a casino site before you have considered anything else.

What also needs to be considered though is the nature of the bonus. Sure, a 500% deposit does sound amazing, but we should stress the importance of reading the terms and conditions before you go full steam ahead as promotions are only valuable if you have the potential to turn the bonus into actual cash.

The Different Types of Mobile Casino Bonuses

The majority of casino bonuses will reward the player for making an initial deposit. The instructions will typically be very clear such as bet $100, and you will receive a $200 bonus to play with. These bonuses are typical for an online casino and will normally have to be wagered about 40 times before you can withdraw the bonus money as actual cash.

Some of the most attractive mobile casino bonuses though come in the form of no deposit casino bonuses. These no deposit casino bonus codes instant play will let you sign up to a site and play with bonus funds without having to make any deposit. This is a great way of playing with a casino as you can test out the quality of a few games without having to risk any of your money.

This money given to you will have to be wagered a considerable amount, so we recommend you do two things with the bonus money. You either use it on a few games to test if you like them or not and work on a few strategies that will later improve your gambling experiences, or you just try and get extremely lucky and look to win big. If you win big you can then wager the money easily and you will find yourself in a nice position

Promotional Bonuses Vs Reload Offers

Most of the attractive promotions that you see advertised can only be used when you are signing up for a site for the first time, such as a risk free bet. There are sites however that like to reward loyal customers with promotions, and these are the types of casinos that we respect.

A Reload bonus can be random and some sites will send you an email one day where they will entice you to bet money so you can earn a nice bonus. On some occasions, these bonuses can be just as good as promotional businesses.

The Explosion of Sports Betting In The US

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sports betting is lifting off in the U.S and with a little bit of context, it is easy to understand why. Up until recently, it was prohibited to place a sports bet in several states but in the last few years, the rules have been relaxed across several states. The data from 2021 suggests that sports betting more than doubled in the U.S. With this in mind, the citizens of the U.S are waking up to the joys of online sports betting.

Recent Rule Changes

Up until 2018 if you were an American citizen who fancied placing a bet, you effectively had two options. You either placed a bet illegally or made your way down to a state that allowed sports betting. Easier said than done considering the vast size of the country.

Now 30 states offer online sports betting with a few more offering it as an option at a land-based sportsbook. Thus giving a lot more U.S citizens a chance to place a bet. There has already been somewhat of a domino effect in action and it is believed that in the coming years even more states will be opening their doors to the world of sports betting.

What you need to understand is that for gamblers in New York for example, they have been waiting for ages for the day to arrive where they could place a bet legally on a sporting event. Maybe they went to New Jersey or Vegas one time and they have been wanting to repeat this experience ever since.

So when New York did open for business the floodgates opened and more than $600 million was brought in the first two weeks alone. What a sign of commitment from the U.S gambling community.

The Evolution Of Mobile Betting

The U.S has gone from being a place where you could only legally place a bet if you were in a land-based casino to being a country where you could place a sports bet on your mobile phone. It will go without saying how much of an impact this would have on the numbers of people placing sports bets in the U.S.

As competition heats up across the US, operators are having to put out new promotions and offers to attract customers. Similarly to what we found in the competitive UK market, US operators are now offering out a huge range of free bets, risk free bet offers, matched bets and other bonuses to get players to join them over a rival operator.

Another consequence of these rule changes are that some of the biggest online casinos in the world are naturally jumping at the opportunity to form partnerships in the U.S as being a country with huge affluence the potential for such gambling enterprises are endless.

$1 Billion Spent On Advertising

The world’s biggest sportsbooks in the U.S such as FanDuel and DraftKings have used this opportunity to spend huge amounts of advertising meaning that more and more U.S citizens are being exposed to the possibilities of online betting. During games of NFL and Basketball gaming advertisements are on the rise and therefore this is becoming more of an accepted norm. Many believe that the U.S will follow a similar pattern to what occurs in the U.K where it is seen as completely normal to place a cheeky bet on the weekend.

Sports Betting In The U.S Will Only Get Bigger

Unless unlikely rule changes come into affect again sports betting is only going to become more popular in the U.S. With so many states recently adapting themselves to this industry it is only natural that some people are going to take a while to become adjusted to it also. Having said this within time it will become the norm and the money coming from sports betting in the U.S will only increase.

You only have to take a look at the popularity of sports betting in the UK. Nearly every football fan likes to place a winning bet on the weekends game to add some excitement to the match.

 

 

 

Town Star – Results Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Town Star is a play-to-earn farming game from Gala Games, similar in style to Farmville. You can check out our full guide on it here.

Whilst things started off promisingly with this game, sadly the inherent weakness of the in-game economy we identified in earlier updates has had the impact we predicted. 

In essence the problem is that you have an economy where lots of people are earning significant amounts of the the in-game currency (Town Coin) and then want to sell it to cash in those earnings. However, on the other end there are very few buyers for that Town Coin.

The reason being is that there is very little reason to own the coin, other than to hold it in your wallet – which allows you to…earn more Town Coin!

Leaving aside the fact you can also achieve the same effect by holding Gala Tokens in your wallet instead, you can probably see the issue here. There is little incentive to buy Town Coin other than enabling you to earn more Town Coin (which is itself dilutive of course), meaning the value of the token is bound to drop in these circumstances. And drop it has – all the way from over $2 to $0.09 at the time of writing. 

Fundamentally, as we described in previous updates, there needs to be utility for Town Coin. Whether this is in using it to build items in the game, enhance your trading capabilities with other towns or some other use, there has to be a reason for people to want to buy the token and not just sell it.

Until this issue is addressed we don’t see a bottom for Town Coin and it could easily go to zero (or close to zero). In these circumstances there doesn’t seem much point putting in the many hours necessary to play the game when the earnings are virtually zero.

So we will leave this review in abeyance until these issues are addressed and we start to see some actual utility and value for Town Coin.

It seems this issue of in-game “tokenomics” as they are called is not limited to Town Star but is something all play-to-earn games are experiencing. Perhaps if one game developer figures it out then others can follow, but for the time being it is a space we will monitor rather than participate in.

Town Star – Results Update

10th February 2022

Town Star is a play-to-earn farming game from Gala Games, similar in style to Farmville. You can check out our full guide on it here.

In order to earn tokens in Town Star, you need to own NFTs. These are the farming items that you use in the game like grain storage, water fountains, shops and so on. 

We purchased four NFTs and have been playing the game for a few months now.

Each day you can earn the game’s native token, Town Coin (TOWN), by completing a daily challenge. It’s not too difficult at the moment and takes a few hours at the start of the month to build up your town and then around an hour per day to complete. 

Since our last update we have earned another 734 Town Coin, which means we have now earned 1734 Town Coin in total.

The problem is that Town Coin has absolutely plummeted in price since our last update. It was $0.56 per coin but is now just $0.18 per coin at the time of writing.

So our net earnings are only worth $312, which is pretty disappointing to be honest considering the cost of the NFTs and the work put in.

As we said last time, for the token to have value they really need to integrate it into the game. Whilst they said last Autumn they plan to do so, we have not heard anything since about what their plans are or when they may do so.

In the meantime we will keep working away to earn Town Coin in the hope that it goes up in value at some point.

Town Star – Results Update

6th January 2022

If you’ve been following us recently you’ll know we’ve been delving into the world of play-to-earn games. Whilst our focus here is mainly on betting and trading systems, we are always interested in alternative ways to make some extra income and the play-to-earn space looks set to explode this year.

Our first foray in this area was Sorare, which if you’ve been tracking our journey you’ll have seen we’ve been doing very well with over $20,000 in prizes won last year. 

Our next venture into this space is with an interesting little game called Town Star from Gala Games. 

This is a fun game that is a lot like Farmville if you ever played that game. You can read our full guide on Town Star here.

In order to be able to earn in the game, you have to first purchase some NFTs. These are the farming items that you use in the game like grain storage, water fountains, shops and so on. 

We purchased four NFTs:-

  • Alfa Fountain (OK)
  • Rare Sugarcane storage
  • Water Tower
  • Sugarcane storage

We also received a free Express Depot for becoming a gold Gala member.

Each one of these NFTs pays out a certain number of Town Coin per day if you complete a Daily Challenge, which you can then exchange for other cryptocurrency and then fiat money. 

However, unfortunately at the moment we are not able to use all our NFTs. This is because you need to have a certain amount of what is called “Gala Power.” There is a full article explaining it here, but in essence you need a certain amount of Gala tokens and/or Town Coin in your wallet.

At current prices this means spending thousands of dollars to move up the Gala Power levels and use your NFTs, which is far from ideal.

Gala Games say they will allow renting out of NFTs in future (no date confirmed though) and they may adjust the terms of the Power levels to take account of things like account age, number of NFTs etc, but for the time being we are stuck with this situation. The simple advice is it’s better to buy one big NFT than lots of small ones – you only need one Gala token in your wallet to use one NFT. 

Anyway, putting that issue aside how has it been going on Town Star? 

We have managed to earn Town Coin pretty much every day (apart from the odd day like Christmas Day, for obvious reasons) and so far have earned just over 1,000 Town Coin. 

At today’s prices of $0.56 per Town Coin, that equals just over $560. 

That’s not bad for a few weeks work and the NFTs we bought have gone up a lot in value. In particular the Rare Sugarcane Storage cost us around $1,200 when we bought it and is now selling for around $3,000. 

In this game you are hostage to the price of Town Coin, which has fluctuated quite a lot since we joined the game, from around $0.30 all the way up to over $2. 

We imagine when they actually integrate the token into the game itself – which they have said in two blog posts they plan to do – its value could appreciate, although that rests on them bringing lots of new players to the game too. 

In any event, the bottom line is our earnings have been pretty good so far even with the price of Town Coin having fallen a lot over the past month. It’s also a fun game to play so we would say we are cautiously optimistic about this one. There is still a lot of work for them to do to bring it to the mainstream but the early signs are encouraging.

Town Star – New Review

25th November 2021

If you’ve been following us recently you’ll know we’ve started to get involved in the play-to-earn gaming revolution. 

Whilst this isn’t strictly in the “betting category,” we do occasionally like to venture into other fields like forex, crypto and passive income. Anything really that can make an extra bit of income on the side! 

So our first foray in the play-to-earn field was Sorare, the fantasy football game that runs on the blockchain. If you’ve been following our journey you’ll have seen it’s been going very well with lots of rewards won. 

Our next sortie into the realm of play-to-earn games then is a fun little simulation game called Town Star from Gala Games.

We’ve written a full guide here on what Town Star is all about and how you can earn from it, but basically it’s a lot like Farmville. You run a small town and have to build it up from scratch by farming goods and then selling them. 

In order to earn tokens on it (which you can then sell on exchanges like Coinbase), you have to buy NFTs – or non-fungible tokens. These are the farming/industrial items like wheat storage, water fountains, solar panels and so on. Then you have to complete a daily challenge in the game to earn your tokens.

Another way to earn Town Coin is to finish high up on the leaderboard, although that is very tough so for most people the focus will be on earning the daily Town Coin. 

We’ve recently joined the game and will be documenting our journey here, just as we have been doing with Sorare.

So far we have one NFT placed in the game, earning 14 of the game’s tokens, called Town Coin, per day.

At today’s prices of $1.23 per Town Coin, that’s $17 per day in earnings, for just a small amount of time playing the game each day. Some people are already earning over $100 per day from the game. 

There is also the potential to move up the levels and be able to place more NFTs in the game, thus earning more Town Coin. 

Plus of course the value of Town Coin could go up as well – although it could also go down so you do have to accept the fluctuations in the price of the token and not expect it will necessarily go up. 

If more people join the game though, in theory it should drive more adoption of the token. 

Just to note that the cheapest NFTs that pay out Town Coin are currently priced at around $730. So at current prices it would take approximately 54 days to earn back the cost of the NFT. 

That presumes Town Coin stays at its current price of course, but it gives you a ball park idea of the payback time anyway. You also will own the NFT and they are generally going up in price all the time.

Please note there are a very limited supply of the NFTs though and they are selling out fast. All of the NFT info is covered in our guide so we recommend you read that first before buying any of them. 

In any event, given the potential here and the fact it’s quite a fun game to play, we are looking forward to running this review and will update our progress here as usual.

In the meantime you can open a Gala Games account and start playing Town Star for free here.

Three Tips for British Flat Season

/0 Comments/in , /by

With the Cheltenham Festival over for another year, attention now turns to the Flat season. We’ve looked at some of the major races over the summer and come up with the best bets for the campaign.

Baaeed To Win Lockinge – 4/7

William Haggas has revealed that he plans to run Baaeed in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in what will be the unbeaten colt’s first appearance of 2022. Last season’s Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner is the 4/7 favourite to get off to a winning start to the campaign.


Baaeed showed exactly how good he was when he defeated Palace Pier at Ascot. John and Thady Gosden’s runner has consistently been the best miler in Europe over the last couple of seasons, so to get the better of the horse was a huge achievement.

In what will be his four-year-old campaign, we could see even more from Baaeed this season. All the leading 1m races will be on the table for him. It is going to take a big performance to stop him in each of those races.

Manobo To Win Ascot Gold Cup – 5/1

Charlie Appleby’s gelding Manobo has had a lot of international success over the last couple of years. He was victorious on Arc weekend in the Grade Two Prix Chaudenay back in October. More recently, he broke the track record at Meydan to win the Nad Al Sheba Trophy.

The Ascot Gold Cup is likely to be the main target during the summer as he switches back to turf. He is 5/1 in the betting for that 2m4f contest at Royal Ascot. For advice on how to place your bet on the race, research some site to learn how to bet successfully on sportsbook and give you all the pointers you need, including where to find a free bet to use on the meeting.

Manobo is the joint-favourite for the Ascot Gold Cup along with Trueshan. As talented as Alan King’s runner is, he is ground dependent. He missed the race last year as he did not get the rain he needed. This makes Manobo a much better prospect at the latest odds.

Golden Pal to Win King’s Stand Stakes – 4/1

US-based trainer Wesley Ward has had a lot of success in the sprint races at Royal Ascot over the last two decades. He looks set to be targeting the King’s Stand Stakes this year with his very talented sprinter Golden Pal.

The four-year-old colt finished second in the Norfolk Stakes in 2020 at the meeting. He came home just a neck behind The Lir Jet on what was just the second start of his career. Since then, he has developed into one of the fastest horses in the world.

Last season Golden Pal won three of his four starts on the track. He prevailed at Saratoga, Keeneland and Del Mar, the latter being the Grade One Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. That race featured some of the best sprinters from Europe, so it was a strong test for him.

Ward’s runner is 4/1 to prevail in the day one contest at Royal Ascot in 2022. He looks the one they will all have to beat as he bids to go one place better on his second shot at glory at the meeting.

Good luck with the three above bets this Flat season. Remember to gamble with responsibility. Hopefully, the campaign ends as a successful one for you.

 

 

 

Three Potential Bets for Britain’s Summer of Sport

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Aintree Grand National 2013” (CC BY 2.0) by stacey.cavanagh

Not many countries have such a rich and varied calendar of sports as the UK. There are major events that run throughout the year, from the Six Nations rugby tournament in February and March, all the way through to the World Darts Championships in December.

However, it’s from the spring through to the summer that many of the most exciting and high-profile events take place and, with them, naturally many betting opportunities arise. So, to set you thinking, here are just three events that you could put a bet on to make what is always a captivating season of sports even more exciting.

Rachael Blackmore to win her second Grand National in a row

Last year the Irish jockey rode into the history books when she became the first-ever woman to win the world’s most famous steeplechase on Minella Times. Last year she won while priced at odds of 11/1, but this year it’s highly unlikely that you’ll get odds as good at this. If she does come good, it will cap a remarkable season for Blackmore following on from her equally historic victories in Cheltenham’s Champion Hurdle and Gold Cup.

With 70,000 spectators expected on the day, it will certainly provide an unforgettable spectacle for them if she does indeed manage to ride Minella Times into the select group of consecutive winners of the race.

England cricket to return to its winning ways

Following on from their disastrous Ashes you, which saw the departure of head coach Chris Silverwood along with various other members of the back-room team, it was hoped that the 2022 tour of the West Indies would be the start of a re-set for English Test cricket. Nonetheless, following two close draws, the final match in the series saw England soundly beaten by 10 wickets with Joe Root’s role as captain hanging very much in the balance.

The summer sees two home series against New Zealand and South Africa, as well as a single test against India. This could very well be the chance for a new dawn for the team, if a long shot. For those avid bettors among you, perhaps it might be better to head for an online casino with a no deposit bonus, instead. That way, you’ll be able to play games for real money without any outlay yourself. There is a wide number of casinos to choose from and many also feature sportsbooks if you do fancy a punt on the cricket.

Rafael Nadal to win Wimbledon

Men’s tennis is at a crossroads with the old triumvirate of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Nadal starting to show their age. The latter, in particular, has been plagued by injuries and must surely be looking towards the end of his career. So it would be a fairy-tale ending if he could claim a 22nd Grand Slam title at this year’s Wimbledon, not to mention a joy for his many fans all around the world.

So there you have them, three very different bets for this summer of sport. Put them in an accumulator and, if all three do come off, that really would be something to celebrate.

Choosing The Best Casino Site in 2022

/0 Comments/in , /by

Every year more and more online casinos are popping up for punters to enjoy. With the industry growing year on year thanks to more and more countries legalising online casinos and the development of technology.

One of the biggest reasons that players love these online casino sites is the fact that they are incredibly convenient and offer most of the benefits you can find in a land based casino. Whilst sites like CasinoSource offer players a comprehensive list of some of the best online casinos out there, you can go through various steps to help you choose the best online casino site for you.

Here are some of the aspects you should take into consideration when choosing the best online casino site for you:

Only play on reputable casino sites

This is one of the biggest factors when it comes to choosing the best online casino to play on. You only want to be playing on casino sites that have a great reputation and that are run by legitimate operators. 

The best way to check whether an online casino operator is legitimate or not is to make sure that they are fully licensed by a well known gambling authority. The biggest authorities you want to look for include the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) or the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

These two governing bodies are the most prestigious in the world and any online casino that has a licence from them will have had to pass incredibly strict tests to earn the licence. 

Another good thing to look out for is major sponsorships. If a certain online casino sponsors a major league football team or some other big name in sports, it can be a good sign that the casino is legitimate and reputable. 

Check out the bonuses on offer

Thanks to the fact that so many new online casinos are popping up every week, they often offer extremely lucrative bonuses to people who want to sign up. These one time deposit offers can be incredibly fruitful for new players to the sites and can come in many shapes and forms.

You’ll have casinos that offer tons of free spins, percentage deposits on however much money you deposit, free chips for table games or even a combination of all of the above! There are also no deposit bonuses available, which reward players for simply signing up to the casino – although these no deposit bonuses are quite rare. 

But before you rush out and simply choose the online casino with the most free spins available, make sure you thoroughly read through the terms and conditions of any casino bonus you’re thinking of claiming.

This is vital, as many of the deposit bonuses you see will have wagering requirements, time limits and certain games that the bonuses can or can’t be played on. But there’s a growing trend of online casinos with no wagering bonuses, which are always worth looking out for!

Have a look at the selection of games on offer

No matter whether you’re a keen slots player or a pro at table games, you want to make sure there is plenty of variety on offer from whatever casino you play on. At many online casinos you’ll mostly find slots, and plenty of them to boot. These slots will also be in a whole different array of themes – from ancient romans to the wild west and everything in between (Including futuristic samurai, caped superhero Batman and gangster cats!)

Table games can be found at many casinos, although you often won’t find as much choice as in the slots selection. You can find some incredible and engrossing live casino games though, where you’ll be interacting with trained and professional croupiers and dealers. The sets for these live casino games are also top notch, with some software companies actually staging them inside real casinos. 

You’re also going to find online video poker, which is a great way to get in some poker training. Don’t forget lotto and bingo and even all new types of games such as slingo, a unique fusion of slots and bingo.

Secure methods of payment

Finally, one last thing you want to look out for is the different methods you can deposit and withdraw money from the casino. From popular e-wallets such as Paypal and Neteller to more traditional methods like bank transfers and debit cards, any casino worth its salt will have plenty of different options available.

You always want to make sure that there are methods that you’re both used to and that are well known. You also want to make sure there aren’t any sneaky fees added onto the transactions.

Online Casinos in 2022 – What to Expect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Unlike the other industries that faltered at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the online casino market saw dramatic growth. Moving forward in 2022, the market is expected to keep up its steady growth. Several factors have contributed to the success of the industry.

Of note is the ease and convenience of being able to play online. The industry is constantly incorporating new technologies all aimed at ensuring the ultimate gambling experience to the players. One of the advantages that technology has brought about to the players is being able to engage in online casinos right inside their homes.

Various governments and jurisdictions throughout the world continue to ease Covid-19 restrictions. But even as previously closed brick-and-mortar casinos open up again, more and more players are opting to play online.

In this article, you are going to learn more about what you can expect from the online casinos in 2022.

Enhancement of the visual quality of games

Developers of the online casino games are continuing to improve the games that they unveil to gamers. In 2021, the most consequential trend in the online casino industry was an enhanced visual quality. Of course this was aimed at matching the modern screen resolutions of the various devices the games are played in.

Expect to see the trend being improved in 2022 and even beyond as more providers scramble to outwit each other. The ultimate goal of the online casino games providers is to create something that nearly resembles the traditional casinos.

Online crypto currency casinos

Of course there are already many online casino providers that are accepting crypto currencies as a mode of payment and casino reviews at online casino bluebook helps you to find such casinos. However, there are still also quite a significant number of those that are yet to accept crypto.

In 2022, an even more number of online casinos will incorporate the use of crypto as legitimate currency. Expect to see various online casinos accepting common crypto currencies such as Ethereum and Bitcoin.

The use of crypto in the online casinos helps to make transactions much more straightforward and faster for the players and the casinos. The other advantage is the added level of security and anonymity thus a win-win scenario that works for everyone.

In countries where there are stringent gambling laws like in New Zealand and others, you could opt to use crypto in the Casumo casino. This may help you maintain your anonymity and as well as that of the provider.

New games

In 2022, online casinos will look to integrate new and improved technologies into their websites as a way to enhance the variety of their game offerings. You can expect to see more hybrid games or some kind of specialized games on offer.

As game developers keep enhancing their game developing skills, expect more detailed and complex games styles. Your online casino experience will be taken a notch higher in 2022 as you could be presented with more levels to unlock. You will also find varied bonus rounds and quite different reels or playlines to explore.

More casino brands to crop up 2022

Like with most other markets any rise in the online casino market means many companies will come up to get into the mix. In 2022, expect to see many more online casino companies appearing. What this will mean for you is more options and better service offering from the service providers.

Easing of gambling laws in some countries

Not every country in the world today permits gambling something that has kept quite a significant number of gamblers from playing. In 2022 however, it is expected that countries where gambling is not permitted will begin to ease such restrictions.

As many developing countries is where gambling continued to be a grey area continue to wake up to its benefits, restrictions will be lifted. Sub-Saharan African countries are beginning to allow some forms of online gambling and incorporating some forms of regulations. They are now appreciating that indeed their governments can collect revenue from gambling.

Virtual Reality Gambling

Virtual reality devices have now become readily available to consumers from different parts of the world. The online casino providers are now beginning to appreciate VR and are in a rush to implement their use in gambling.

In 2022, we are expecting to see online casino providers implementing the use of VR casino gambling. These technologies help the players to be able to experience near-real-life casino gambling experience remotely. With them, players in their homes are able to play with real people and dealers using VR devices. In augment reality for instance, players are able to create a ‘roulette-like’ table on any surface and enjoy what they like most.

Fortunately for lovers of VR gambling, VR devices are becoming more readily available at highly competitive prices than you could have ever previously imagined!

Cheltenham 2022 – Day Four Diary

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just a reminder I am tracking my results from this year’s festival using a twofold strategy, which is:

1. To use all the bookies offers, brought together via Profit Maximiser; and

2. Use three of my favourite tipsters – Quentin Franks Racing, the Bet Alchemist and the Irish Cash Consortium – to find the best bets for Cheltenham.

By combining the above two approaches together, this should give me a good chance of beating the bookies this week.

So how did this strategy perform on Wednesday at Cheltenham? Let’s have a look below.

 

Day Four Results

After some rotten luck on the first three days things had to turn around on the final day – right?

Let’s see how we did on the Friday of this year’s Cheltenham Festival. My stakes were £20 per point once again.

 

1.30 – Triumph Hurdle

It was a good start to the day with Quentin Franks’ pick Vauban grabbing the win and Bet Alchemist’s tip Fil Dor finishing second.

Profit/Loss from Race: +£44

 

2.10 – Handicap Hurdle

The Bet Alchemist had two picks in this race and both finished in the places thankfully. Quentin’s tip was third but was win-only so no returns from that.

Profit/Loss from Race: +£20

 

2.50 – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle

Quentin’s tip Hillcrest had to be pulled up whilst Bardenstown Lad from the Bet Alchemist grabbed a nice third place at tasty odds of 33/1.

Profit/Loss from Race: +£36

 

3.30 – Gold Cup

Both Quentin and the Bet Alchemist were on the same horse, Galvin, who never really looked like winning and ended up fourth.

Profit/Loss from Race: -£60

 

4.10 – Hunter’s Chase

The Irish Cash Consortium’s first tip of the day, Winged Leader, looked all over the winner and traded as low as 1.14 on Betfair before being pipped on the line. An each-way return though.

Profit/Loss from Race: +£1

 

5.30 – Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle

No bets in the 4.50 so it was on to the last race and the Irish Cash Consortium’s tip Hollow Games finished third for some more each-way returns.

Profit/Loss from Race: +£8

 

TOTAL PROFIT/LOSS FROM THE DAY: +£49

It was nice to finish with a profit on the final day after some tough days previously.

After a few years in a row of healthy profit at Cheltenham this was a disappointing week however, with a lot of seconds, fallers at the last and horses finishing just outside the places. It was just “one of those weeks” sadly.

Quentin performed well and you can really see the value of his ante-post picks, which all got smashed in by the time of the races. With lots of bookies now offering non-runner no bet for these big races nowadays, it is well worth taking advantage of this early bets and locking in some profit.

The Bet Alchemist had a really tough festival in truth. His record over the years at Cheltenham is very good but he just couldn’t get the rub of the green this year for some reason. Hopefully next year will be better.

The Irish Cash Consortium had a fairly light betting week and could only manage a few places, but no major damage done.

Just a word on the free bets from the bookies – sadly these are not quite what they used to be with nowhere near the kind of value previously. In prior years for example Bet365 had offered £50 free bets but now it is just £5.

Lots of the other bookies have tightened up the terms of their offers too. With Sky bet for example you now need your horse to finish second to qualify for a free bet from the first race for example where as it used to be more generous.

The real value now lies in the extra places which are quite generous, going up to six, seven or even eight places in some races. So those are well worth taking advantage of.

Anyway, that concludes this year’s betting diary from Cheltenham. We hope you enjoyed it and had a little bit more luck than I did!
