The nation’s leading bookies head into the final day of the Cheltenham Festival brimming with confidence after one of their most successful meetings to date.

Victory for Big Buck’s in Thursday’s World Hurdle has been the only saving grace for dejected punters and it has been nothing short of a disaster for favourite backers at the meeting.

Attention now turns to the final day of the meeting and Kauto Star’s defence of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Clearly full of the joys, the bookies are offering punters a number of promotions in a bid to get them wading into the last day with an open wallet.
 
As well as the £200 free bet Ladbrokes offer punters that sign up here, if you bet £20 on the JCB Triumph Hurdle (13:30) they will give you a £10 free bet to use on the Grand Annual Chase (17:15).

Sign up for Ladbrokes here and get best odds guaranteed on all the final races at the 2010 Cheltenham Festival.
 
Meanwhile, after escaping a £3million payout on ‘Irish banker’ Dunguib and after celebrating the defeat of Master Minded on Wednesday, Paddy Power are clearly happy with the way the festival is going and despite Big Buck’s sensational victory yesterday, have upped their free bet offer to a whopping £100. It means that new customers that sign up here have the perfect head start as they look to win back their losses.
 
If it is big prices that you are chasing on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival then punters are advised to sign up with William Hill who will be offering their customers enhanced prices on selected horses at the meeting – between 12.00pm and 1.30pm everyday!
