Well here we are again! First things first, I've noticed that E/W now seems to be one fifth odds rather than one quarter pretty much round the board, SOME bookies did this previous years but now they're all at at With this in mind I probably won't be bothering with anything under 25/1


(2021 thread here http://www.tekforums.net/general-discussion/grant-national-2021-covid-special-edition/ )

https://www.oddschecker.com/grand-national/winner <- odds table, remember generally the odds tumble as the event closes in.

Don't bet more than you can afford to lose. The national is quite literally a lottery with so many horses running, the bookies can be "generous" On this event because with such an enormous field and now reduced E/W payouts they still win regardless.


With all this in mind I'm presuming bet365 will do this offer again on Thursday...



There are 2 roads you can walk, one you can either use an exchange like betfair to lay against yourself and snaffle around £80 risk free, details are on this site here https://www.teamprofit.com/bet365-grand-national-offer-explained

The second road is the one I take, is less scientific and is actually still gambling, what I'll do is use the offer to place £250 of bets for £125, I end up backing around half the field last year I had 18 horses and had the winner and fifth, last year I didn't like to back more than 1/2 below 16/1 so I got lucky on the winner.

Amazing, good luck 

Next year I need to remember to setup a new B365 account well in advance.

I got £19 back for Fiddlerontheroof, £31 down

1/4/6 returned £755.03

That'll do.

Amazing, congrats! I'll have to not mess about next year and play more strategic

I've made a fairly big win once since we starting posting every year, so statistically odds must be in my favour if I follow the trick above I would have thought. One or two horses extra/different would have done it.

Nice one, I was just thinking about this the other day. Time to reactivate the old account

I don't currently have an account, so would it be worth waiting until I'm inside the 30 days to also use the sign-up bonus of Bet £10 & Get £50 in Free Bets?

Only felt like the other month the 2022 discussions and it is nearly a year already, WTF.
