Thread: The Grand National

So, any of you betting ladies??! I know you horsey types are out there so those in the know - any tips??!

Im going for Battle Cry on the very knowledgeable basis that I like the name! :lol:

After visiting a few pubs last night I seem to have a £1 sweep stake bet on just about every dobin running, I've no idea whether any of them are any good or if they are shipping them in after their shitf at Blackpool has finished!

My tip.... Find a pin and stick it in!! I seriously hate this race!!!!!

Or..
Something that is 10 years old or under, is carrying less than 11 stone and has run at least twice this season...and something that has won/placed over at least 3 1/2 miles!! Good luck!!

Just let them all come back safely

I've bet on 3 horses (blame the wine I drank last night!). No idea if they are any good but I liked the names - which is an improvement for me as I normally go on the colour the jockey is wearing.

I am fully expecting to be as millionnaire by this time tomorrow. Although the fact that I only put 2 pound each way on may put a stop to that!

GET IN BACKED THE WINNER :OD

I didn't even realise it was him because I had writtern down the number not the name of the horse!

Then all of a sudden I twigged and was screaming at the telly!

The milky bars are on me :O)

Blimey....100/1...never mind milky bars...crack open the Moet!

Sadly I didn't put any pennys on him, just in the pub sweep stake so about £50 :O)

Well I'm not quite a millionnaire but I did win some money. And now my boobs hurt from jumping around the living room while the race was on!

Well Im still poor!

BUGGER. Kilbeggan Blade will be getting a thanks-for-nothing card from me.

But if those 100-to-1 shots ever usually won, they wouldn't be 100-to-1...or something like that... grumble.

I backed a donkey only because it had the same name as my car.

I should have spent the fiver on a bottle of blosson hill instead.

I think mine is still running :roll:

Had 2 in the sweepstake at work and they're still walking th course!!!!!!!
