GlobalVillan Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Right then. Don't ever gamble apart from this and despite being 6,000 miles away I've continued the tradition. I've gone 20 quid each way on: Vanillier 10/1 Corach Rambler 7/1 Chemical Energy 40/1 What's everyone else gone for?

I pick names I like, the missus goes for the colours. It's not scientific butvwe get the odd winner or place occasionally.

I used to do the same as you, and all my crew are the same still now, I just don't really get it. Altho also, I've stopped betting on the football too, so maybe it's betting I have an issue with? 1

Jonesy7211 Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Vanilier, lots of letters from Villa in the name. The wife chose Mr. Incredible, but I think she was having a dig at me by choosing that. 1

colhint Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Most I ever win on the national was in the 70s. Mom phoned up from the hairdressers. I had to go down there and pick up all the bets from the women in there. It was there annual flutter. Dad said before I went, don't take it to the bookies put it all in your pocket. I did none of there horses won. So I cleaned up. 2
AshVilla Posted April 13 Posted April 13 National is no longer the spectacle it once was and it's also the worst race to have a punt on. Still i've gone with Mahler's Mission at 14/1. 1
The Fun Factory Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Irish 1-2-3-4. Fully expect some hand-wringing and state-of-the-UK racing/bewetting/will somebody think of the children chat for 24 hours.
