It's on again and look what treasure I found ;D

My track record hasn't been amazing following Matt's uncle's tips - which is as good as any idea in this lottery - but its a good bit of fun and my bit of gambling for the year.
Who's in? :ptu:
http://www.oddschecker.com/grand-national-betting-odds/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
:lol:
My uncles in Ireland following a family death so I have no idea if I'm going to get anything from him or not, I have text him...
TBH we may just do better picking out the most TEK appropriate horse :lol:
Off my own back I've had small bets on Bishops Road & Wonderful Charm.
I've just gone with Betvictor again as they place up to 6th:
SHUTTHEFRONTDOOR | 14/1 EW |
WONDERFUL CHARM | 50/1 EW |
GALLANT OSCAR | 16/1 EW |
Good luck to anyone else placing a bet :ptu:
I've gone with the above, Bishops Road was a well fancied first reserve but of all 40 horses none pulled out so is not starting (money back of course)
Result: Epic fail :cheers: Better luck next year!
Ah the grand national - every year the infamous Matt's Uncle with his horse tips trots out - and fails to get anything right. So next year, we should devise a scheme whereby we get all the "hot tips" we can muster from any source, and then bet on the one that is least fancied ;)
It is a total lottery really, but its good fun and having some 'tips' whether good or bad makes it easy to pick. You've not got a bad idea, a group poll sort of thing.

TBF, as above this year I heard nothing from him, and it was still a crapout :lol:
He was away as his Auntie died at 99 and a half, bit like cricket really, just failed to make the ton :thumbdown:
You can't argue with 99.5
I'll take 75 tbh

Oh yes 99 is a stunning effort, marbles not lost either, it gave me an idea for a thread...
