Our luck improved a little when it came to betting on Wednesday's Cheltenham Festival race card and if you'd taken our advice you may have bagged a return!
We told you that Prudent Honour was worth a punt? If you'd gone each way you'd have been thankful as it came in third at a starting price of 40/1 in the 1.30.
It wasn't so good in the 2.40 where Citizen Vic took a tumble, but we roared back with the big race of the day when Forpadydeplasterer finished second in the 3.20 - ahead of firm favourite Master Minded.

So, with confidence high, today we've got a whole host of Pools-style bets for you to take a look at:
1.30
We're not sure if Leon McSweeney's got money on this but it caught our eye in the first race - jump on Seven Is My Number at 28/1.
2.05
Jon-Andre Fredriksen is the inspiration behind our next choice as we take Fredo in the next race, available now at a cool 20/1.
2.40
When Pools got promotion in 2006/2007, they were driven over the finish line by the goals of Richard Barker - so in his honour we'll be slapping 100 of our hard-earned pennies on Barker at 33/1.
4.00
The Club's attempts to buy the ground from the Council has been in the news again recently - but as far as the 4.00 meeting today is concerned it's already Our Vic so go each way at 40/1.
Ok, so a quid on all the above winning would net you the best part of £900,000 so why not stick an each-way Yankee on the lot which will give you the six doubles and four trebles as well?
