Re: The Grand National
Well, I backed Clan Royal and Hedge Hunter to win, and then did 'numbersix...' and Nil Desperandum each way, so I got 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th (though only got anything for 1st and 4th) -so won about 40 quid, which wasn't bad.. which put me about £22 quid up...

All the right horses, not necessarily the right order My mate, if he was still here, would have bet on the exact order - picked 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. More cash that way. I think they call it an accumalator

Steady now - don't spend all the winnings
Come to think of it, if you get Park Lane and Mayfair, you'll be well sorted.

Yeah but mine was more luck than judgement - the classic 'ohhh thats a nice name' style of choosing  |

I picked the winner out in the sweepstake at work - totally random, pick a bit of paper out of a plastic cup. I knew nothing about the horses running. Nippped onto the BBC website and saw that it was a decent horse - won the Irish National. Not an old nag with lead shoes. Quite a few tipsters tipping it. So I thought it must be a sign from Him upstairs - just not like me to have luck - and put £4 ew on it when I got home.

Re: The Grand National
Yes - bit unfortunate about the start.
Collected my sweepstake winnings from work Boss even sent me home with me having cold. Some days are great

Re: The Grand National
Don't like to boast but the only time I haven't won anything on this race since 1987 was one year when I worked nights and forgot to get up in time

Re: The Grand National
NumberSix is running again - more weight this time, but the jockey is saying this doesn't matter due to the length by which it won last time. That said, no horse has won twice in a row since Red Rum... I might have a few quid each way. The Irish horses are supposed to be favoured. Oh and there's HedgeHunter running.

Re: The Grand National
I like Joe's Edge -
he's a quality horse, won a big race at Cheltenham at massive odds and has been bred specifically for the Grand National...
Odds on him aren't great though... But if you're going to get on him, get on him now as i suggest they'll only keep falling...
And thus ends the Satellitetvtalk.info betting tips for the day - heh heh
