How to pick Cheltenham Festival 2025 Tips
- Do your research – Before placing any bets, make sure you research the horses, jockeys, and trainers involved in each race. Look at their past performances, form, and track record, as well as any relevant factors such as the track conditions and weather.
- Consider the odds – Look at the odds offered by different bookmakers and compare them to the perceived chances of each horse winning. This will help you determine if there is any value in the bet and avoid backing horses that are overpriced.
- Look for early value – Sometimes the best value bets can be found in the early races of the day before the bookmakers adjust their odds based on the results of previous races.
- Consider multiple betting markets – There are a variety of betting markets available for each race, including win, place, and each-way bets, as well as exotic bets such as exactas and trifectas. Consider the different markets and bet types to find the one that offers the best value for your chosen horse.
- Manage your bankroll – Set a budget for your betting and stick to it. Don’t bet more than you can afford to lose and consider using a staking plan to help manage your bets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cheltenham Festival Betting
What if the horse I backed doesn’t run the Cheltenham Gold Cup or any other antepost bet I’ve placed?
For most antepost bets, you’ll find that bookmakers will offer a non runner no bet offer for Cheltenham 2025, which means that if your horse doesn’t line up in the starting gates, then you’ll receive your stake back into your betting account. This isn’t the case with every bookmaker, so make sure you look for markets that do offer this.
Can I place an each-way bet on the Cheltenham Gold Cup?
Each-way bets can be placed on any race during the Cheltenham Festival, and the number of places paid out will be dependent on the size of the field and the bookmaker you’re betting with. The number of places being paid out will always be made clear by the bookmaker on the relevant odds page.
How often does the favourite win the Cheltenham Gold Cup?
Around 45% of winners at the Gold Cup are the favourites, with A Plus Tard doing so as favourite in the 2022 edition. However, it’s not guaranteed and if you look throughout Cheltenham Festival history, a number of outsiders have also won the race.
What happens if my horse falls at a fence during the Cheltenham Gold Cup?
There are 22 fences in the Gold Cup and it is one of the most difficult races in horse racing. Naturally, some horses may fall along the way, and in most cases the bet will end up a losing one. However, some bookmakers do offer Faller Insurance, an offer that will provide you with your stake back should a horse fall, be brought down, lose its rider or pull up during the race.
Can you get enhanced odds on the Cheltenham Gold Cup?
Most bookies will have some form of offer both on the Cheltenham Gold Cup and throughout the Cheltenham Festival. For the big races of the day you’ll often find enhanced odds available with bigger bookies, providing you with additional winnings should the horse you back win.
You’ll find all the latest enhanced odds offers on Cheltenham right here and on our horse racing tips page.
Who are the best pundits to follow for Cheltenham Festival tips?
Many pundits come out to play during the Cheltenham Festival and we collate them all on our Pundit Tips page. Big names such as Ruby Walsh and Mick Fitzgerald, both of whom have a strong history with the festival, are both worth following in particular
