Paddypower is offering all Cheltenhampro readers a massive £100 free bet on the Cheltenham Gold Cup!

The Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup is a big betting favourite for punters due to the free bets on offer.

When backing one of the horses in the Cheltenham Gold Cup it's worth looking at recent form and in the last eight races have usually been horses who have won or finished second in the previous year, with seven of the last eight winners following this trend.

Gold Cup free bets may then be best used on runners who have had few outings during the season. Nine out of the last ten winners have raced 3 times or less that season.

Place you Cheltenham 2010 Gold Cup bet with Paddypower and the Irish bookie will give you £100 free!
