Bookie Bets On How Many Pints Of The Black Stuff Will Be Sold At Cheltenham

William Hill have opened betting on how many pints of Ireland’s favourite tipple - Guinness will be sold at this year’s Cheltenham Festival.

Last year there were 199,469 pints of the black stuff sold at Prestbury park, and William Hill are predicting another stellar year for Arthur Guinness’s 250 year old brew.

The bookies make 180,0001 to 195,000 their 9-4 favourites, 210,001 or more is 11-4 195,001 to 210,000 is 3-1, 165,001 to 180,000 is 3-1, 150,001 to 165,000 is 11-2, and 150,000 or less can be backed at 8-1.

William Hill’s Irish spokesman Tony Kenny said “Last year 199,469 pints of Guinness were sold at the Festival, and with St. Patrick’s Day falling on the Wednesday, the 200,000 pint barrier must be in danger of being broken.” He continued “The Guinness Village is normally heaving after an Irish winner, and we think there’ll be plenty of Irish winners for the visitors to toast at this year’s Festival.”
