Bookies took an absolute bashing during the 2016 Cheltenham Festival with losses of £60 million reported in the industry. BoyleSports were no exception in getting hit, compounding the bad results by refunding on 20 horses at the festival!
We were giving MONEY BACK as a free bet if 2nd or 3rd to the SP favourite on all races at Cheltenham, with 10 favourites winning in 28 races, that meant 20 massive refunds.
