The Cheltenham Festival 2009 is set to take off this March 10th. There will be some 480 horses taking part in 25 races over a 4 day period, competing for over £3,000,000 in prize money.

It only feels like yesterday that I did my plums on last year’s Cheltenham Festival. Hefty losing bets on the fancied Nicholls’ pair of Noland and Kauto Star left me scrounging for drinks on the Friday night.  Have I learned my lesson?  Have I b*****k’s!  Me and thousands of others will gladly relinquish our hard earned on one of sports most exciting weeks and you can get in on the action as well

To celebrate Victor Chandler (VCBet.com) will be offering our punters a whole host of special offers:

1 ) Best Odds Guaranteed – Take an early price or board price and if the SP is bigger they’ll pay the bigger price! This applies to the first £500 stake of all singles, and all multiples with a stake of £700 or less.*
