Inplay - your monthly guide to all things Betfair

Ah the glorious month of March! The days are getting longer, the Champions League and Six Nations competitions are reaching their final stages, but to any racing fan, it means just one thing – the Festival.

Cheltenham is without peer as the greatest week of racing in the Northern Hemisphere, if not the world. You can’t top four days of magnificent National Hunt racing set in the unique atmosphere and surroundings of Cheltenham racecourse. The highlight of the week will no doubt be the mouth-watering Gold Cup clash between reigning champ Kauto Star, gunning for his second Betfair Million bonus, and the rising star and stablemate Denman. To fit the occasion, we’ve brought in Betfair Radio and Racing UK pundit Graham Cunningham to preview the high-class action.

Sticking to the Cheltenham theme, we’ve highlighted some great discussion in our forum for the feature races of the Festival. Plus we’ve introduced some great new features for racing punters, just in time for the Festival. Visit the Noticeboard to find out what’s new and see what you might have been missing out on.

The golf season is hotting up. The US Masters is just around the corner and Betfair are now offering more tournaments to bet on each week than ever before. Just how can you cash in on the added profile of events when Tiger is playing? We’ve made golf our Sport of the Month, you can learn more here.

Last but not least, we’ve brought back Ariston for some more poker strategy. With multi-player tournaments taking place every day for great prizes, it’s worth knowing how to stay alive until it at least starts getting serious.

Happy punting!
