Sorry lads. Not great in the betting area, but would someone please explain what and how a trixie bet works. I have checked its meaning online an am still no farther forward.

3 doubles and a single? Totally lost!! :S

plasticpaddy.
i do not do many trixies.. but i think it is like this.

a 5pound trixie is 20 pound.
3singles
a treble.
2 doubles, and a threefold, thats what i think although not a hundred per.cent

Trixie is 4 bets so a 5 euro one costs 20. 3 selections e.g a,b and c.The bets are 3 doubles 1.a and b, 2.a and c, and 3.b and c. Then 4th part of the bet is Then the treble.No singles

Cheers beer baron. So only one of the four 'bets' have to come in to win some money back?

Yeah thats it plastic paddy.
Barons Bismarch for the festival-Champion hurdle solwhit-wont get the ground he wants,id advise to stay away from go native too-peaked too early this season.

the champion hurdle picture is clearer now.
solwit does need bottomless ground, go native is a good horse , but zaynar is the one 4 me.
i also think starluck is overpriced at 16/1 , he is a great e/w.

I think a great bet for the festivel is that you pick a horse from each race that the ante post prices are up for, on Paddy Power they have 14 races up. Anyway do a small stake each way accumalator, if all come in first 3 (some first four) it will be quids in. Just thought its a decent wee bet and your only losing about 50p. A lucky 15 each day is also a good bet, if you have a good day backing single winners you could also have them in Lucky 15 which woud be happy days. If the ground is good for the Champion hurdle then Sublimity each way sounds good.

sublimity is a very good horse . but he will never be allowed 2 dictate the pace that was when he won the championhurdle , it will never happen again .
get your money on zaynar , a true battle tank , never knows when 2 give up.

i know in the past the novice races have decome a graveyard 4 favs.
but dunquib has the bookies running scared he will hack up the cheltenham hill , trust me nothing 2 worry about him he is the most exiting novice i have seen in a very long time , it will take something extrodinary to bt him, he has beaten the best of the irish division by miles , and their is noyhing in england who will get 10lths of him .... so enjoy .
p.s do not know what u would get 4 kauto 2 win by ten lengths.
