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. nodisharmony

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!! nodisharmony

I Won!
I Won! I Won! ![]() WOW, I can't believe it!! I picked Silver Birch, as I said in my post earlier.... 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!! nodisharmony

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 ![]() nodisharmony

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". 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. nodisharmony
