Sky Bet have announced they will give money back as a free bet if your horse is beaten in the first race each day at the Cheltenham Festival.
The online firm will refund stakes, up to a maximum of £20, if you back a loser in the 1.30 race.
Sky Bet's headline Festival offer will apply to the following races:
Tuesday March 14 – Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle
Wednesday Match 15 – Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle
Thursday March 16 – JLT Novices’ Chase
Friday March 17 – JCB Triumph Hurdle
The offer continues Sky Bet’s popular ‘First Race Special’ theme. They have long based an offer on the first TV race at all major race meetings.
Sandro Di Michele, the bookmaker’s head of public relations, said: “Our First Race Special offerings have always been well received by our customers and with the Cheltenham Festival such a massive occasion to racing fans, and the wider sporting audience, we’re more than happy to give them this fantastic money-back offer every day.
“It’s basically a bet to nothing in the first race each day – if you lose just have another go in the next!”
The Leeds-based firm are already non-runner, no bet on all 28 races at the four-day meeting which is the highlight of the National Hunt season.
