Cheltenham Festival Tips from Tom Lee - Massive Profit Made in 2011

During the 2011 Cheltenham Festival Tom selected tips for 22 of the Festival races and there were a total of nine winners for punters to take advantage of during an excellent week. The big wins of the week came on day two as Tom picked Sizing Europe and Carlito Brigante at big prices to boost the profit margins for punters. Each of the bets are measured against a mythical £1 win stake (£2 for each-way) and after spending a total of £43, Tom returned a brilliant profit in 2011 of £29 which by anyone's standards is a good week.
