leemond2008 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'll start off by looking at the hosses on the day of the race and kidding myself that it is anything other than a lottery and will have a few bets on some of the outside favorites and then I'll stick a couple of quid on a few horses that I like the name of....then about 10 minutes before the race I'll panic that I haven't picked a winner and I'll put some more money on some more hosses. In the end I'll end up having money on at least half of the ones that are running and I can guarantee that I'll still lose 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted April 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2021 Bet365 are giving half of your EW stakes back up to £125 per existing customer before the 7th April. I’ve done some matched betting and guaranteed myself £70 profit, though if any of my picks come 5th (as Bet365 pays 5 places and I’ve laid 4 on the exchange) I’ll win some more. This is a nice way to win but still have an interest in the race - only I’m watching for 5th place not the winner! Best case scenario for me is Minella Times to come 5th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually have a small bet or two on this race without much success. The one year I did win I had 3-4 horses covered and that was when I went with Mon Mome, simply because MON was our manager at the time. That was a good win as it was 150-1 when I put a couple of quid on it. I think the bookies have made that back since then though as that was my last win on the Grand National.

AvfcRigo82 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have a feeling a Trevor Hemmings horse will be in the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I’ve got Minella Times, Yala Enki and Sub Lieutenant so I hope they’re all in the frame. I’ll go for the latter to win as I like a longshot and a nice story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I always go for a horse with claret and blue colours.That policy hasn’t been hugely successful. Ballyoptic is 66/1 will probably give it another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd times I have a punt now and again and I see him on something that I like I just oppose the horse if I see he is riding it. How the hell Paul Nicholls let's him near his horses is beyond me.

Exactly the same. If I see write up of horse and feel like backing it, then see STD riding it’s ducking mo chance edit: this reads at least as drunk as I am Edited April 9, 2021 by fightoffyour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
