Is anyone doing it??? Have you placed a bet?
Do you think it is cruel.??

Whats your opinions on it????
... and if you've placed a bet say which horse(s).

I made 3 bets all each way on:
Numbersixvalverde
Eurotreck
Gallant Approach


*i never win*

[Bells]

Good luck with them anyway Emilee.
I haven't placed any bets myself.

[nodisharmony]

I picked, "Silver Birch".

I don't really study each horse, I just go for a name and that's it.

I bet 50p to win & 50p each way.

Just a bit of fun, why not! Nothing ventured, Nothing gained.

LOL Its a tradition in our house to bet on the grand national... Its quite good really... because i enjoy it... Its good fun.

I used to always bet on it but as I have gotten older I just cant bare to hear about and see all the animals that get hurt during the race. Just personal choice though

It is going to be "Sunny", "Sunny"

So I think that will help?

It is usually the "Rain" that creates the real damage, when it comes to injured horses and jockeys.

I remember picking the winner, "Red Marauder" and that year, it chucked it down and only the one I picked managed to complete the race and I think, a couple of others, further back, after the Jockey had fallen off and managed to get back on the horse.

I love it, when stray horses are running next to the leader.

Getting in the way.

But I certainly want a safe race and for me to pick the winner, naturally!!

I am ot hoping for much this year, I think my luck has run out as I have won it for the last 3 years.... I won £60 last year )

Here are the runners and riders. I am going for Thisthatandtother because when I saw the name it reminded me of ThisisBigBrother.

50p to win & 50p to place.

I see it was 33 - 1

so, I work it out at £20 profit, I think?

as it is £16.50 for the win & a quarter as a place?

so that is great!!

Thanks Kizzy

I didn't expect it and I never take it that seriously and the Grand National is the only one I watch.

I wasn't going to bet, but my girlfriend & her friend and her uncle were doing some 50p & £1 bets, so I gave her a £1 and that's it.

I couldn't believe it!

It is so easy to say that I should have bet more.

But it is sod's law, that if I had, I'd have lost.

I bet a £5 once and of course, I lost.

But today, it's a WIN

Thanks Emilee,

A small cash result, but it's fun & £20 is £20

I picked Red Marauder a few years ago and it won. But I never placed a bet.

And many years ago, I picked another winner and won £32 I think? I was much younger then.

The rest were losses, "Of Course".

I was hoping for a "place", A win, is a dream.

Lucky this year.

Cheers Baz,

The Derby is the next big one.

But, it is a flat race, and that is not so exciting.

Won nothing at the bookies but had silver birch in a sweep. £39 up.

Nice one Doc!

[nodisharmony]

I think it is nice, when you can have a friendly bet on the Grand National, without going overboard.

I know that many gamblers will bet hundreds or thousands on betting on horses and the dogs.

I know a man who spends his life in the bookies, and has lost thousands and get's good tips, "apparently".

The best tip I could give him, is:

Small bets & less of them.

My mum put £1 each way on Silver Birch, so she's about £40 up now.

Her and my dad are having Chinese take-away and a bottle of wine tonight..

I had asda pizza and fanta. Mine fell.

[Mrluvaluva]

And what's wrong with Asda pizza? Are you being supermarketist?
