In terms of live coverage ITV will be covering the first 5 races of each day with the broadcast ending at 16:30. That leaves you with 2 races each day where you’ll need to find another source, the bookmakers are the obvious bet there with the majority covering all races for each of the Cheltenham festival. Bet365 is still our favourite for ease of use (they recently reduced their opening account offer down to £30 which is a bit of a bummer). IF you’re wanting full screen comfortable streaming then this guide to going full screen with Bet365 should help. Got any tips for the big races? Drop us a comment below and we’ll make sure we feature them during the festival.
