Just hours to go before the tapes go up on the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, which will climax with the Gold Cup on Friday. However, the bookies are fearing a day one \u00a350m bashing with FOUR odds-on favourites that most punters will be plonking in doubles, trebles and accas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is The Day One Cheltenham Acca That Could Clean The Bookies Out?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most experienced horse racing punters that attend the Festival each year will tell you not ALL of the ‘so-called’ Cheltenham Bankers<\/a> will win.<\/p>\n

There have been many hard luck stories over the years – with the most famous being that Annie Power final flight fall in 2015 that saved the best betting sites in the UK<\/a> a reported \u00a350m payout on the opening day of the meeting.<\/p>\n

However, as we head into the 2025 Cheltenham Festival there is another big day one acca that the layers are already reporting could cost them millions – which will make it hard for them to recover going into the rest of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Especially with other big fancies like Jonbon (Champion Chase), Teahupoo (Stayers’ Hurdle) and Galopin Des Champs (Gold Cup) still to come.<\/p>\n

And even though the percentage call is to think at least one of these Cheltenham hotpots on day one will lose – there is also a big feeling between punters that – ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

No one wants to be ‘that person’ who wasn’t on the big day one Cheltenham bankers acca, so we can expect many punters to be chucking a token \u00a35, \u00a310 or even more on this 7\/1 multiple.<\/p>\n

    1:20 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle: KOPEK DES BORDES<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Kopek Des Bordes<\/strong> been all the rage for the 2025 Festival opener since romping away with the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival in February.<\/p>\n

    Mullins has also won the Supreme seven times in the past and was also the first race he won at the Festival back in 1995.<\/p>\n

    Those looking to take Kopek Des Bordes might look to a Supreme Novices’ Hurdle trend<\/a> that has only seen two winning outright favourites since 2005.<\/p>\n

    While he’s also sporting the first-time hood after being a bit buzzy in his races – but the Mullins Festival stats for horses in first-time headgear are only 1-33 (6 places).<\/p>\n

    The bookies will be hoping one of these Supreme stats comes in for them in the opener, while Cheltenham acca backers will be hoping Kopek Des Bordes can kick these trends into touch.<\/p>\n
