Cheltenham Coup D'Etat

Cantonesque

Well lads, have been a long time reading the threads here and I wanted to try and give something back.

So, after a good day, I have a proposal but we need selections. So we need the experts and non-experts to select 4 hot pots that they believe will win out of the 27 Cheltenham races. Cut off for your 4 selections is 21:00 Monday. I will check who gets the most votes and place a €200 accumulator on the 4 horses. So it is the 4 horses with the most votes in 4 different races.

I will post a copy of the slip on the Thread and should it come in we can organise a knees up or alternatively if there are not enough people to attend the knees up we can try and do some good and present it to a charity (also subject to an unlikely vote should the bet be successful so probably don't need to go into this).

Just an idea for a bit of craic and to see what the ultimate Boardsie 4 horse accumulator is. For non racing people an accumulator is where you bet on 4 horses and the 4 horses have to win or the official definition is as follows....

An accumulator is a bet that combines four or more selections into a single wager that gains a return only when all parts win. The advantage of an accumulator is that winnings are much higher at the expense of increased risk, only a single selection need lose for the entire bet to lose.

So lets put it to the test and see if the sum of the parts is Aristotle was right... T.E.A.M. acronym—together, everyone achieves more.

I will post the results Monday evening...Good hunting

So going with short price selections

1. Faugheen
2. Annie power (assuming mares race)
3. Coneygree (if rsa)
4. Lieutenant colonel (assuming Annie in mares)

Though maybe the boardsie popular paint the clouds would be a better 4th pick, but will stick with above. I'm now going to have to do my own small accum on above just in case!

While I do support anything that is done for the benefit of charity, I am afraid you've missed the boat on this by a long way. A lot of the juice in the prices is already gone, but for the record, here's my €1 lucky 15 (e/w) that I feel has the best chance.

The Druids Nephew 14/1
Salsify 12/1
Jezki 6/1
Lord Windermere 14/1

Have already posted about these horses in case anyone thinks I am after-timing.

You're going to get plenty of similar posts. Ie Vautour, Annie Power, UDS, Faugheen etc. 200 is a big outlay for an accum. If you're intent on doing it, would you consider 10 x 20 euro scums? Through in a few big priced ones. Either way it's unlikely any may win, but it may provide interest for the wee for huge returns

Maybe a few 10 e/w accums

Good suggestion but have too much on in work to rank selections on outsider and short priced accumulators.

To be honest the real value in the bet will come if a bookmaker comes on board and I live close to a PP, Boyles and Betpack so will get on to them when selections are finalised to see who will do the best special! The more people that make selections the better the special I would expect.

Cantonesque

We have had 40 selections and it is tight at the top with the 1st 2 selections fairly nailed down while 1 vote separates 3rd to 8th. Should there be a tie the stake will be split to capture the 4th place ties.

Still no feedback from the industry with regards to any support so will spread the net a bit wider....

Some interesting quick facts.
- No 2 selections are the same
- Only 2 votes for Irish "Banker" Douvan
- No votes for The New One
- 40 selections generated a list of just 55 horses and despite this no selection is the same

I will post the final selections after 21:00 together with the full list and associated odds (PP) so that all the info is shared and users can see the top voted longer shots and not so fancied short shots...

So just 5 and half hours left to complete the Final 4

Cantonesque

So the final selections are dependent on the final decision tomorrow morning of Mark Bradstock depending on his stroll around the track in the morning. If Coneyygree goes in the Gold Cup, now looking likely, then it is a straight €200 accumulator at odds of 53.84/1 as follows;
-Annie Power 4/6
-Faugheen 5/4
-Vautour 9/4
-Don Cossack 7/2
Returns 10,968.75

If Coneygree goes in the RSA then it is split 3 ways at 66.67 per stake between
-Annie Power 4/6
-Faugheen 5/4
-Vautour 9/4
-Don Cossack 7/2
Returns 3,656.25

-Annie Power 4/6
-Faugheen 5/4
-Vautour 9/4
-Coneygree 7/2
Returns 3,656.25

-Annie Power 4/6
-Faugheen 5/4
-Don Cossack 7/2
-Coneygree 7/2
Returns 5,062.50

Will post the slips in the am

The final top 24 selection list was as follows with the remaining 31 votes for individual horses;
Annie Power21

Vautour8

mr.jingle

Best of luck with it, be nice if the forum could get this up. Fair play Cantanesque

Hulk Hands

Fair play. Make sure you do the accum between 9-11 tomorrow when Annie and Faugheen will be at their biggest price. Bet365 biggest all runners so might be a good place

Cantonesque

Hadn't time to shop around so bet is on as per docket attached and confirmed as follows;
-Annie Power 4/6
-Faugheen 11/10
-Vautour 9/4
-Don Cossack 7/2
Returns 10,237.50

We won't be worrying about the odds if it comes in...

Best of luck to all...

Best of luck Catonesque. I know the final tally spoke but still can't fathom how Don Cossack made it onto that slip.
