I was however going to put a couple of quid on the winner being more than 50/1. ( think it was 50/1). Ahh well, just like usual. Was going to, but never did.

£2.50 each way on the winner = £317.50 winnings for me

Still got the winnings to come from the sweepstake in work as well

shocker of a day for me. ignored all my usual strategies and came up with a load of duds.

Tell you what, not accusing anyone on here of lying, but on my facebook, text messeges I receieved etc, it's very co-incidental the amount of people who backed an 100/1 horse, but no one mentioned the horse they backed before it.




The big winner today once again in the national, (can they ever lose in the national?) were the bookies.

Well done to the mugs who put there hard earned cash (i.e more than 100 quid) on "favourites" at 11, 12/1 etc.


My uncle who does (too much) betting on the horses once said to me when I was about 6 year old, if you're going to bet on grand national day, bet on the races beforehand, as "the big one" is easy pickings for the bookmakers.

I sat down with the paper this morning and started my usual strategy of eliminating those I thought simply could not win.

Mon Mome was about the 4th or 5th horse I put the marker pen through.
