Types of Sky Bet Cheltenham Festival Offers
Sky Bet Cheltenham Best Odds Guaranteed
Taking advantage of Best Odds Guaranteed during Cheltenham means you will get the best possible odds and returns on your winners during the Festival with Sky Bet.
If you bet on your selection with Sky Bet at 3/1 and the starting price (SP) is 4/1, you will get paid out at the bigger odds. This works both ways, and if your horse shortens in the market to 2/1, your 3/1 is safe.
Your bet will be settled at SP if you don’t take any price.
Sky Bet Best Odds Guaranteed is available from 9am on race day. However, it is not available in Extra Place and Money Back as Cash races (these will be explained in more detail later).
It is available on all other UK and Irish racing where these offers are not applicable.
Sky Bet Extra Place Races
Sky Bet Extra Place races are available to all new and existing customers. These races can be identified by the yellow banner above the main markets within the race.
Cheltenham 2025 will be full of big fields and potential upsets. Having an extra place to fall back on could turn your bet from a loser to a winner.
Any Extra Place races with Sky Bet will not be eligible for Best Odds Guaranteed throughout Cheltenham 2025.
Keep your eye out for these races throughout the Festival to ensure you get the best value on your each-way bets.
Sky Bet Money Back As Cash
Sky Bet have run this promotion at Cheltenham before, and it is an excellent offer if your selection is narrowly beaten.
Sky Bet will return to stake as cash, up to a certain stake, if your horse finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th in selected races at the Festival.
If you place an each-way bet on the race and your horse fills one of these positions, only the win part of your bet will be returned to you as cash.
Only your first cash bet on the qualifying race will be counted towards this promotion.
As previously mentioned, Best Odds Guaranteed will not apply to these races.
Sky Bet RequestABet Feature
Sky Bet have a broad range of markets available on-site, and even more, are included in their RequestABet section.
RequestABet allows customers to build their bets by combining several different selections from the same event.
Not only can you bet on other customers’ bets that have been requested, but you also have the opportunity to have your bet created by Sky Bet.
If the market you requested is not immediately available, it can be sent to the Sky Bet traders, and they will look to provide the odds as soon as possible.
Sky Bet Price Boost Multiples
SkyBet also offer price boosts on multiple selections. For example, they have been known to do a price boost on some of the favourites for Cheltenham Festival in a multiple bet.
This type of offer is hugely popular as you’re unlikely to get these sort of odds from other bookmakers. It’s likely they will have plenty more price boosted multiples the closer we get to the Festival, as well as boosted multiples for each day of the Festival.
Sky Bet Club Offer
Fancy £5 in free bets every Monday? This is the reward on offer when using the Sky Bet Club offer.
Bet £30 on any sport at minimum odds of 1/1 (2.0) between Monday and Sunday, and you will be credited with potentially £5 in free bets, which will consist of 2x £2.50 horse racing accas.
The £30 does not have to be staked in one go and can be wagered on any sports across the week.
You must be opted in to this promotion to qualify and will only have to opt-in again if you fail to meet the staking requirements for two consecutive weeks.
Cashed out bets will not count towards the staking requirements of this promotion, and the £5 in free bets will be credited on Monday. These free bets will have a 7-day expiry date..
ITV7 Free-To-Play Game
Registering for a Sky Bet account will also give you access to the ITV7 free-to-play game, which will be live every day of the Cheltenham Festival 2025.
The ITV7 game requires you to pick seven horses in the selected races for a chance to win up to £100,000 (this prize pool may be increased for Cheltenham 2025).
If you pick all seven winners of the selected races, you will be eligible for the jackpot prize.
However, a tiebreaker will decide the winner if there is a tie. This requires you to predict the winning distance of the final race of the round.
If no entrant manages to pick all seven winners, there is a consolation prize of £1000 for races that have been broadcast on ITV and £100 for those that have not.

Sky Bet Cheltenham Festival Odds
Sky Bet Horse Racing odds stand out for their competitiveness, enhanced by specials, additional each-way places, and more. Utilise Sky Bet’s offers, like extra each-way places in large field races, where they may offer payouts for five places instead of four, potentially tipping the scales from loss to profit.
Keep an eye on daily extra-place races and compare odds to maximise each-way betting profits. Beyond racing, Sky Bet’s odds in football, tennis, cricket, and boxing are among the best, featuring extensive coverage and attractive prices.
Sky Bet Cheltenham Festival Betting Markets
Sky Bet has quickly developed a reputation for being one of the go-to bookmakers during the Cheltenham Festival and that translates to the rest of the year.
Sky Bet also offer a wide range of multiples and accumulators, such as trixies, yankees and Heinz bets, all of which are particularly popular in horse racing, when customers are looking for bets that give them interest in every race, at a relatively small cost and with potentially high returns.
One Sky Bet promotion that will prick the ears of antepost bettors is the non-runner money back promotion that will run on every race throughout the festival.
Ante-post betting allows punters to place bets on horses to win specific races, often way in advance, to take advantage of more lucrative odds due to the horse not being officially declared to enter the race. The downside to this kind of bet is that bookmakers tend not to offer refunds if the horse doesn’t enter or indeed start the race, but the tide is starting to turn in that respect.
In the last few years, Sky Bet and other sportsbooks have offered non-runner money back on the feature races of the festival, such as the Stayers’ Hurdle and the Gold Cup, but Sky Bet have moved a step ahead by offering the deal on ALL races at the festival.
Sky Bet Cheltenham Festival Bet type
The bookies tend to get creative when we arrive at Prestbury Park and Sky Bet are no different offering a wide range of bets. The same will be expected in the run up to the 2025 Festival.
Top Jockey
Sky Bet are likely to offer markets for the best-performing jockey at the festival. For non-racing fans, you are essentially betting on which jockey will ride the most winners over the course of the week.
Top Trainer
A similar market should be lurking for the trainer who delivers the most winners, with big names such as Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins in the frame for that one.
UK v Ireland
This is the annual competition between Irish and British owners, determined by which has the most winners over the weeks. Proceedings have been dominated by Irish owned horses in recent years and you can place a bet on who will win the prestigious ‘Prestbury Cup’ each year.
Other Promos
Moving in a slightly more granular direction to finish off, there is almost certain to be Sky Bet Cheltenham promotions for each race at the festival.
All races will, of course, have a favourite, but if there is a particularly short-priced favourite, bookies are likely to offer enhanced odds for victories by large margins, in the hope that a less-fancied contender will spring a surprise or run the favourite close.
Alternatively, Sky Bet could offer a boosted price if a pair/trio of horses finish in a specific order.
