Grand national 2013 - General

[i]Place ur betz...[/i] This is a thread for discussing bets placed on the [b]Grand National Horse Racing 2013[/b]. Undoubtedly the best horse racing event of the year! I'm not really an avid horse-racing fanatic, nor a betting-type in general (aside from Poker) but I decided to take a punt this year and throw down £20.50 spread over a bunch of assorted horses. I think lots of people don't really actively follow horse racing but still put a few bets on horses the Grand National for the hell of it. Part of my bet consisted of a 4-fold E/W Accumulator. If any 4 of my horses come 1st, 2nd or 3rd I'll get ~ £47,500. Trebles, if any 3 of my horses win, i'll get ~ £4,581.90 If any 2 of my horses win, I'll get ~ £231. I think accumulators are certainly the way to go. [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/]Follow the action here[/url]

Placing your money on people beating horses who do this just to make them run faster. Logical.

I bet on treacle or something because my dad woke me up with the newspaper and I was too tired to think I've won 3 times so far from random guesses

[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;40181337]I bet on treacle or something because my dad woke me up with the newspaper and I was too tired to think I've won 3 times so far from random guesses[/QUOTE] One of my bets is for Treacle. GL.

What always gets me about the grand national is that no one ever puts their best horses in as there's a high likelihood that they'll die, which is why none of the big names are ever present. Its sick.

Got £20 E/W bets on Seabass and Imperial Commander, 5 places and a fiver on Chicago Way to win. Grand National is the only time of the year I have a flutter. :v: Thread music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6WEIVDHS7k[/media]

Had a sweepstakes with a random draw at work. I've got £2 on Any Currency, which the newspaper described as "About as appealing as a cypriot bank account". odds are 66-1

One of my horses came in at 50/1. £51. £31 up.

I bet on Treacle(fml) because the Trainer was called Taffe, Delicious irony.

I don't bet on the Grand National because I'm not on the dole and don't spend 80% of my time in the local Betfred [editline]6th April 2013[/editline] and the other 20% in the pub

Final race. Had £1 E/W on Killyglass who placed 1st at 25/1 and £1 E/W on Caledonia who places 3rd at 33/1. Up to £70.42 and that concludes my betting for today. £50 profit. Boom ting.

Work got really quiet when the GN started, we sell a lot of equine products so 75% of our customers were all sat at home, the only people who came in were people who thought the whole affair was sick and immoral.

fucK YOU SEABASS [editline]6th April 2013[/editline] favourite my ass pssssssssh

I bet £100 and got £204 back! I put £2 each way on every horse with odds higher than 50 to 1 (about 13 horses). And £20 on seabass.. and the rest dotted around. It was the high odds bets that got me the winnings though.

I was going to place use a free £5 bet on teaforthree, but it didn't fucking allow me to use it. It came third in the end, now glad as it wasn't both ways and I would of felt robbed.

I put £1 on Cappa Bleu and £1 on Rare Bob. Got a tenner.

The horse with odds of 66-1 came first how fucking incredible When I bet at Cheltenham my horse got fucking [I]shot[/I] so I gave up that particular avenue of This Time Next Year We'll Be Millionaires.

[QUOTE=markg06;40193559]The way I read that last sentence made it sound like there was a sniper just shooting at random horses.[/QUOTE] Man places entire life savings on one horse with ridiculous odds. All other horses failed to complete, due to being sniped. Whodunnit!
