After a great weekend of sport, whoever used their free bets on welsh rugby might be feeling sore. Let’s hope that Cheltenham bets are just as entertaining. But this is what betting means - nothing is certain and your free bets and free money provides you with an opportunity to punt online and sit nervously and see what the outcome is.

As the Cheltenham Festival gets underway today, Fraid nerves, butterflies in the stomach and even a few rows between friends create both casual betting and more serious wagering for the professional. Who would swap that feeling as your horse’s fate ebbs and flows in a race and nothing is decided until the final furlong.

Then of course there was a certain FA cup qualifier from Saturday that went to the wire and what a result! When you go 3-1 up at half time, even against the likes of Chelsea, you have to fancy your best chances of taking the game. But back they came, like a true champion team, to level it. Most bets were on Chelsea before the game, Spurs at half time, maybe Chelsea again 5 minutes from full time but now we’re left with the prospect of another thriller to settle it.

 Can’t wait!
