Questions
General
Do you guarantee winners?
No. Tips are opinions, not guarantees, and past results don’t guarantee future results. We record every selection and publish how results are calculated, so you can judge the record for yourself. Please bet only what you can afford to lose.
Do you take bets?
No. We publish selections and analysis. If you decide to bet, you do so with a bookmaker of your choice.
What is a point?
A point is a unit of stake. Our results are in points so they don’t depend on how much anyone bets: if your usual stake is £10, one point is £10. How results are calculated.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. You must be 18 or over to use this site and to buy anything from it.
Who is behind The Cheltenham Edge?
My name is Dan, and I’m the person behind The Cheltenham Edge. I’ve been following horse racing for more than 10 years, with a particular focus on the Cheltenham Festival, where I’ve developed an approach that has been particularly successful. The Cheltenham Edge is completely independent, with no connection to any bookmaker and no affiliate links. The aim is simple: to find an edge wherever we can. I publish every selection and the method used to calculate the results, so everything is transparent and you can judge the approach for yourself.
What if gambling stops being fun?
Stop, and talk to someone. The National Gambling Helpline is free and confidential, 24 hours a day, on 0808 8020 133. GAMSTOP lets you block UK online gambling sites and apps. There is more on our responsible gambling page.
How do I contact you?
Email support@thecheltenhamedge.co.uk about anything: purchases, your account, membership, Festival Tips or access. Please include the email address you bought with.
Antepost Membership
Is the membership free?
Yes, for the 2026/27 season. Register with your email address and the Antepost Tips are yours straight away, until Monday 22 March 2027. There’s no payment and no card details, and nothing renews. Free sign-ups close on Tuesday 2 February 2027.
What happens when the free season ends?
Your access ends at 6am on Monday 22 March 2027. Nothing renews and nothing is taken: we never ask for card details. Renewal information for the 2027/28 season will be shared closer to the time.
How do I get the selections?
In the members’ area, with the reasoning and write-ups, and by email as soon as a new selection is published.
What happens if a selection doesn’t run?
Antepost bets are normally lost if the horse doesn’t run, unless the bookmaker offers non-runner no bet. Not every selection will make it to the Festival, which is why each one comes with our reasoning, and we say when non-runner no bet was available.
Does membership include Festival Tips?
It includes the Cheltenham and Aintree Festival Tips: members receive our tips during the week of each festival, and don’t need to buy the tips service separately.
