AND BREATH.......................ITS ALL OVER!THANK GOD!

Thank God it's all over! A desperate day punting today, but it was always going to be a bookies day.

The festival is over and I for one thank the lord that wallet, marriage and liver just about have made it through a week of massive over indulgence.

I have spent my whole working life fitting and working in toilets and to have OLBG back up mine and other  tipster's judgements by putting up their views in the khazi's at the Cheltenham Festival was absolute genius. The thought of geezers reading your thoughts on the races whilst holding their old boy will live with me for a long, long time. The fact that 8 out of 10 tips were landed tells you there are some seriously knowledgable tipsters on Olbg.com, anyone can share in this and its all for free. Even made The Belfast Telegraph!

I had been tipping Rock On Ruby up to anyone who would listen for at least a couple of months and when he bolted up in the Champion Hurdle I was chuffed to bits. However the one who paid for the whole week was Alfie Sherrin who I'd backed at 40's, 33's, 25's and 14's, the fact I was on the winning post and got a wave from winning jockey Richie McLernon made it the most amazing bet I think I have ever had! This pic will be a framed shot one day!
Its been great to catch up with fellow @OLBG members and I for one can't wait to see the promo video, I hope too much of my ad-libbing doesn't end up on the cutting room floor!

Anyway well done to Olbg for sponsoring the Mares Hurdle on Tuesday and well done to all the members who have got involved in the spirit of the festival. Olbg even manage to donate a few bob to worthwhile charities and give out real cash prizes. Get involved because it's a great community spirit and in this day and age, getting something for nothing is rare old treat!

Good Luck and roll on next year! Please re-tweet to fellow members. All photos on http://randyrann.foliopic.com are up for sale for a small fee and for every pic sold I will make a donation to Olbg's chosen charity.

Yours very tired and emotional
