Today on the Betfair Sportsbook: Cheltenham non-runner no bet offer goes live
Fed up of searching high and low for the day's best betting opportunities? We all need some guidance sometimes. Well, Lewis Jones is the man for the job. Here, he pinpoints what's likely to be hot on the Betfair Sportsbook today and where punters will be laying down their hard-earned cash...
We can smell it but we can't touch it yet.
Anticipation and excitement in equal measure is growing for the Cheltenham Festival, which two weeks today will be welcoming punters from across the UK and Ireland for the fourth day of horse racing's version of the Olympics.
With just 11 sleeps until the tapes are lifted in the Supreme Novices Hurdle, Betfair today have announced that they are offering punters a chance to play their ante post markets with the added security of getting stakes returned if the selection doesn't run.
This Non Runner No Bet guarantee across all Festival races is well worth latching onto, especially if there's a horse in a handicap at a huge price you feel has been absolutely plotted up for a particular race.
If it runs you'll get a run for money. If it doesn't you get your money back. Simples.
Things haven't been so simple for Ashley Giles and England cricket as a whole of late and nerves must be jangling in the dressing room about the possibility of further embarrassment as they kick off their ODI three-match series against West Indies today (13:30 start).
The former England spinner takes charge of his first game in Antigua and a youthful England squad - comprising only players who will be involved in the upcoming World Twenty20 in Bangladesh - are slight favourites at 3/4 with the inconsistent Windies, who are without Chris Gayle, trading at Evens.
There's a plethora of pre-match and in-play markets to fathom. In-play betting for 50-over matches was what in-play betting was made for. So many options. So many profitable possibilities. Get involved.
Scrum-filled and scrum-less rugby dominate the live action this evening.
Bath will look to close the gap on second place Saracens at the Recreation Ground in the Aviva Premiership (19:45 BT Sport 1). The handicap line has been set at +2 to the away side with Betfair's traders offering a very fair Evens the pair.
Meanwhile at 20:00 in the First Utility Super League, Hull KR face Castleford and the line there stands at +4 in Castleford's favour with again Even money the price.
Good luck, comrades.
