Thorin Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Who's having a bet then? http://grandnational.willhill.com/grandnational/EN/grandnational.asp I've not put any on yet but I've just drawn Eurotrek in the work sweepstake. Bloody busy day for us, we're already getting more hits than we usually do at peak times on busy saturday's and that was before 9am this morning too.

penguin Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 does it mean you get paid out even if your horse loses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Anyone got any tips? Yeah PG Tips which is more than you have cos you never put the kettle on! There's no tips to the National tho, it's really just a free for all. Best just pick the one with the prettiest sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace9 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I can't see anyone beating hedgehunter this year. Only lost last year cause of a big handicap. my ouside bet is Liberthine. Cracking horse in great form but he's being ridden by an amatuer jockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best just pick the one with the prettiest sweater Its only cos your never here long enough to give me a chance If you had me to single your car I'd even take you out for lunch and a night on the quayside Gaz.

CJ Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I managed to draw Sonevafushi, Liberthine and L'ami in our works sweepstake. I reckon I have a better chance running around on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Aintree Sat 14th April 13:45 - Think Princelet should win. Ameeq may do well. 14:15 - Fair Along & Don't Push It, both have a good chance. 14:50 - I'm hoping Detroit City will romp home! Didn't do too well at Cheltenham though. But here's an outside tip for an each way bet, Star Antique is a good horse, don't stake your mortgage on it though 15:25 - I'm gonna go with Fastaffaran, he's run well recently. 16:15 - The big one! Anyone's race as usual, but I think Mckelvey has a VERY good chance. Gonna have an each way on Kelami also, and my sweepstake pick of Eurotrek should hopefully do well too. 17:00 - Bob Hall to win. 17:35 - Theatrical Moment should win, Ruairi each way possibly?

SimonB Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'm tempted to have a punt on myself . 20-1 at the mo, no. 15, Simon! Apparently I've been the winner of two good races this year but best form on softer ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 We bet on Simon! As well as a few others, Longshanks too for obvious reasons We couldn't figure out how to do each way bets on betfair though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I've put £100 on Simon eachway. people say he's only good on soft ground. top horse won a few races this season but not had the chance to play on good ground yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Blimey, hope I don't dissapoint! At least I'm attracting some attention somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 We couldn't figure out how to do each way bets on betfair though. It should list the race twice, the second one "To Be Placed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
