I'm going to put a bet on definitely.
really what odds I got that on 38/1 i put £2 quid down so will win about £68
25/1 I got (my brother placed the bet for me)
its just a rumour I heard yesterday I never bet but thought what the hell its only once a year
Will do a couple of patents and lucky 15s but will probably stay clear of the national as, well, it's a bit of a lottery really.
Mon Mome
Tricky Trickster
Maljimar
Am hoping for a windfall
Maljimar is available at 40/1, so your brother hasn't done you any favours.
Me neither so I do it online.
I've only won once...Maori Venture back in the 80s @ 100/1
:eek: ...
Certainly NOT, I will not be having a 'flutter' on this cruel sport where many horses die in pain. They should ban it as the horses endure too much for this.
Enjoy the race :rolleyes:
How did you manage to get 100/1? Starting price was 28/1.
I have no idea, I only remember it because my friend )who was from NZ) put the bet on for me. It was a looong time ago, definitely got a ton though.
I hope you paid the tax at the point of putting on the bet rather than on the winnings then!
Who's dead set to win the National this year?
Only six favourites have won the race in the past 50 years and with last year's winner starting at 100/1 i wouldn't necessarily be too concerned about who is dead set to win!!!
If you have a paper or want to visit the racing post online to have a looksie, keep an eye out for horses who have previously run the aintree course, and finished.
Or just look for a horse with a name that means something to you, or a jockey wearing silks in a colour and pattern that you like, it probably gives you just as much chance as studying the form in a race like this.
beat the boys 66/1
comply or die 18/1
don't push it 16/1
cloudy lane 33/1
with paddy power
I will be at the football though so i will miss it
Black Apalachi.
I guess that's the obvious thing to do.
Just received the same yearly "I'm betting on Shergar" joke texted to me.. :rolleyes: like clockwork.
"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." - Benjamin Franklin. I'd like to add the shergar sms to that quote.
It's not far off a lottery.
I think they had to keep re-starting the race last year, bought back memories of the year the race was voided due to a false start.
Agree, if people want to race, that is fine, but don't use animals to do it and the national should have been banned years ago.
Never been in a betting shop in my life so far and I can't see myself going in one either.
