The 2019 Cheltenham Festival takes place over four days from Tuesday 12th - Friday 15th March at Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire. The festival attracts almost 300,000 punters each year with an estimated £1,500,000 worth of bets expected to be placed on races.
Many will finish the festival with empty pockets but for matched bettors, it's considered one of the most profitable weeks of the year. Nearly every online bookmaker will be increasing the number of promotions they run in the run-up and throughout the festival with some of the offers being extremely profitable and available on multiple races each day.
Most bookmakers announce the best offers in the week leading up to the festival with more becoming available on individual days.
Below is a list of current offers from a range of bookmakers from which you can profit from.
