Cheltenham Festival betting markets at Bet365
Bet365 offers a wide range of betting markets for the Cheltenham Festival, giving you plenty of ways to get involved in the action.
- Ante-Post betting – This is popular among experienced punters. These markets open months before the festival, offering higher potential returns but with the risk that your horse might not run on the day. These early odds can provide excellent value if you're confident in your selection.
- Each-Way betting – This market is perfect for those who want some insurance. An each-way bet is actually two bets – one on your horse to win and one on it to place (finish in the top positions).
- Other markets – Beyond these standard options, bet365 offers match-ups (betting on which of two horses will finish ahead), special markets like top trainer or jockey of the festival, and forecast/tricast bets where you predict the first two or three horses in exact order.
One of the highlight races of Cheltenham Festival available for ante-post betting is the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Steeple Chase on Day 2, starting at 16:00. Here are the current Win and Each Way odds available at bet365:
| Horse | Odds at bet365 |
|---|---|
| Jonbon | 5/6 |
| Marine Nationale | 5/1 |
| Energumene | 7/1 |
| Soulness | 8/1 |
| Found a Fifty | 12/1 |
| Captain Guinness | 25/1 |
| Quilixios | 28/1 |
| Libberty Hunter | 33/1 |
