I can confirm that this WILL go ahead this year and the first bet or lay will be posted now
As many people know, this began in 2002 and is the highlight of the year for all Betfair forumites. The £30,000 has been won in 8 out of 13 years. We have however failed in the past 2 years.
Newcomers, please note:
1. There is no middle ground - by the close of play on Friday, either the £30k will be won or the £5k will be lost.
2. There are no guarantees in racing - 8 times we have won £30k, but 5 times we have lost £5k.
3. Obviously that is a net profit of £175,000 but there are no certainties year on year.
4. All bets or lays are either based on a secret formula. No clarification will be given on any bet - you can either follow or leave.
5. Obviously you are equally welcome to turn £500 to £3000, or even £50 to £300.......the stakes are entirely your own choice.
6. Ignorant sorts who write "post your bets" will be duly ignored and blocked.
7. And just to clarify I posted as "Grave Dodger" for about 6 years before switching accounts and posting as "GraveDodger" for the past 8 years or so.
8. This is a special gift from me to the world and ONLY operates for Cheltenham. Please do not beg me to do this for other big meetings, or ask me to give you private bets. No matter what money you offer me, all such requests will be met with a polite refusal.
9. The target is £30k from a starting bank of £5k. So that will be £25,000 clear profit. Once the profit is reached, all bets STOP, even if it happens on Day One.
10. There will not be bets in every race, and I will always tell you when the next bet is due to be given out. Most investments will actually be lays.
Good luck to everyone. The first investment will be given now:
BET ONE = MIN to WIN the 1.30 cheltenham. Stake £4000 at current odds of 9/4

I am starting to see one tiny flaw in your plan........
....if this goes down with 4/5 of your bank gone, you won't be able to lay a banana to two bananas.....
But gl old bean....

GraveDodger, I did see your name being mentioned in a thread a few weeks back, which could only mean one thing...the count down had began to the greatest festival in racing. I personally won't be getting involved in the venture, not even for small money. But I will tune in, as I've done for many a year to see how you get on. Win or lose this thread always generates massive interest throughout the forum, the very best of luck to you sir.
xmoneyx - the henderson horses will be whistling in the wind..........
interesting to hear all these last minute doubts from connections being aired - its all poppycock - MIN wins the first race, and we get to £14,000 after Race 1 which is almost half way to the target with 27 races still to go
Bet No 2 will be posted around about 2.30pm

Could be all over rather quickly this year but as others have said it is always an excellent read this thread so the very best of luck to you Gravedodger
thanks cloughie - some exciting bets lined up for everyone this year - so hopefully we dont bomb out after 2 races!!
some people think that 80% of the weeks bank on race 1 is too risky ............BUT the aim is to make £30,000 and we have to take some risks to make that sort of money each year

Gravedigger, you are such a fantasist, I am actually rooting for you to get past 2 selections this year. Good luck

Good morning, good afternoon good evening...... and goodbye.
Gravedigger you still have a bag of sand left, don`t let the knockers get you down
so many haters on here, which is why I never visit anymore. Why do so many people rub other people's noses in it?
Cos he's an arrogant attention seeking kuunt. Simple really....
It's only a laugh - not as though any real money been lost 
Opening Bank = £5000
Current Bank = £1000
Bet 2 = 2.50 Cheltenham CAROLES DESTRIER £500 EW at 14/1 (use abookmaker going 5 places)

will a bookie give u 14-1 for £1k each way just like that?
Do the words 'Money Management' mean anything to anyone on here ?
This clown can go back under a stone for another year.

Won 8-13 times? I'd say probably twice if you were lucky. Still, just seen your first selection so won't be long before you'd done your pieces again.

"that's betting on horses"
What is? Losing your entire betting bank after 2 races of a 27/28 race festival card.

Credit to him, one of the biggest bullshltters on here and people still wish him well.
well all credit to you DB if you have a guaranteed way of winning by betting pre-race
I wish. Though I genuinely cannot remember any time I lost my entire bank after 2 races of a 7-card day, never mind three more days on top.
I love his sad little fans...as said the embarrassing once a year thread. Does his dough in 3 races. "Bet responsibly"...back to the FOBTs Graveknobber
