Grand National Tips
My yearly horse racing bet, the Grand National. I’ve been ‘up’ more often than not and won £300 one year with a £15 bet.
This year the going is good so it’s more than likely that one of the top four favourites will win. The odds of 5-1 for Hedgehunter seem a bit tight for a long 40 horse race though. My to-win bet is on NUMBERSIXVALVERDE at 12-1, I’ve also done three small each-way bets on RISK ACCESSOR, LE DUC and BARON WINDRUSH which will more than pay back my bets if they come in 2nd, 3rd or 4th. I’ll update later with the results.
UPDATE: My horse came in!! I put £15 on NUMBERSIXVALVERDE and I got £195 back from the bookies. Another successful year!
UPDATE 2: I’ve just seen that RISK ACCESSOR came 5th! I had £3 Each Way at 66-1 which would have been another £50 in the pot if it had come 4th. Oh well ;)
You got slighty better odds than me then, I had a fiver on Numbersixvalverde at 11-1, so only £60 back for me! I was happy enough with that though and I’ve managed to spend it all already! In my other bets I had Ross Comm (e/w) who fell at the fourth and was also the problem with the first false start and Joe’s Edge (e/w) who I think finished 7th.
