Racing Post vending machine packed with goodies for punters

The Racing Post is giving racegoers an extra helping hand at the Cheltenham Festival by installing a vending machine loaded with pre-placed bets and tips.

The machine, positioned in the Hall of Fame at Cheltenham on the opening day of the festival, will be fully stocked with a variety of free bets advised by the paper’s esteemed stable of tipsters.

Racegoers will be asked to interact with @racingpost’s Twitter account to trigger the machine and get their hands on the week’s best bets.

In so doing, they will also be in with the chance of winning additional prizes, from a £100 betting voucher and tickets to the 2018 Cheltenham Festival to a range of goodies from the on-course Racing Post shop.

Bruce Millington, editor of the Racing Post, said: “We do all we can to provide punters with the most informed opinion on the day’s racing, and the new #Tweet4Tips vending machine adds another string to our bow.

“We have over 200 pairs of eyes and ears on the ground, so packing our best bets into the one vending machine was quite a task, but you can be sure it’s full of goodies!”

The Racing Post will have a team on hand to regularly restock the machine, meaning punters can have all the latest and best information throughout day one of the festival.
