Had a lucky 15 (£1 e.w.) with Betfred at the beginning of the Cheltenham. One horse for each day. Two had been placed (15/2 and 16/1) running on to Starchitect (12/1) on Friday. Starchitect finished fifth with Betfred paying on the first 5. However, they won't pay out on Starchitect saying the bet was ante-post. Apparently any bet struck 24 hours in advance is classed as ante-post.
When I struck the bet (Tuesday) I can't remember seeing on the screen that I was betting ante-post prices. There was no way I would have had this ante-post due to the possibility of non -runners.
Thanks for that KG. Sticks in the gullet though when I used the firm for the offers they were giving out (though I never knew they would pay out 5 places) I put the bet on in good faith as a lucky 15 .... not as an ante-post bet.
