Somehow we seem to have missed the 2018 edition, but its back! :worried:
(http://www.clocked0ne.co.uk/john-smiths-grand-national.jpg)
Will we see Matt's uncle's tips appear this year? Will anyone actually win and not lose/break even? :lol:
I'll probably go with BetVictor again if they do up to 6th place E/W :thumbup: though I've not made any picks yet.
https://www.oddschecker.com/grand-national/winner <- odds table, remember generally the odds tumble as the event closes in.
Usual disclaimer stuff of don't bet more than you can afford to lose, etc :ptu:

My uncle is a right nob, I was off ill for a lot of last year, but I text him and he says "I'm not betting this year" then the other day he said to me in the pub "Oh yeah I had last years winner, I just didn't bet on it" ::) :lol:
Now as luck would have it I also had last years winner, however this is due to a bizarre deal on bet365, for every horse you put a bet on they give you half your money back in cash ??? I thought surely this ain't legit, yet it is was, and they're doing it again this year. My "technique" was to just pick a ton of horses so I've done it again albeit this year I've been looking on a gambling forum I know of where there are a couple of horse guys who claim to know their stuff.
So this year I've backed 11 :lol: :lol: it cost me £55 but I've actually got £110 worth of bets on with the deal :ptu:
£5 e/w on all the following,
Anibale Fly 10/1
Rathvinden 10/1
Vintage Clouds 12/1
Jury Duty 20/1
Pleasant company 20/1
Rock The Kasbah 20/1
General Principle 25/1
Dounikos 33/1
Noble Endeavor 33/1
Valseur Lido 66/1
Tea For Two 80/1
edit- note, only 5 places at bet365 but the deal is too good to turn down regardless IMO.
edit - the bet365 offer is "only available to eligible bet365 customers who opened their account before 23:59:59 UK Time on Wednesday 3rd April 2019." https://extra.bet365.com/promotions/en/horse-racing/grand-national-money-back-offer

Sadly it seems you have to have had your bet365 account since before 3rd April, so new accounts won't get that stonking deal.
However, i've decided to go for a similar approach and bet across the same bunch, albeit with much smaller stakes on each ;D I usually do 3/4 anyway so this should be interesting! Betvictor 6 places E/W as they are the only ones I have an account with.
-
Pleasant company and Rathvinden leading at half way point, usually means they'll come nowhere mind ::) ::) ::)
-
2 have placed in the top 6, but won't be much of a return as they were low odds :-X Shame as they both looked like they could win it, but crazy low odds Tiger Roll bossed that.
I ended £20 down, better than a total shoeing I guess :lol:
-
I ended up £33 down overall. Same time next year though :lol:
-
I considered betting and then slept right through the race. Fibromyalgia is a bitch at times. The positive is I didn't lose and I would not have won anyway.

Slapped £10 into paddy power with £10 free bet and first 6 on E/W
Bet on 2, both didnt finish :rofl:
