Do you bet on a horse during the Grand National? Perhaps your parents do one for you if you aren't old enough. I always do a couple.

Yep! Only time each year I bet on horses!

I always get super sad when one dies/gets injured though :'(

someone will one-up you and say the horse they bet on died, and they probably haven't bet since.

The funny thing about the Grand National is a lot of the time, it's not the favourites who wins. Last year Pineau De Ru? or something like that was 66/1 and they actually won. I need to see the list of runners on the day before I choose. I always do a couple each year, though I am yet to win.

No, it's a waste of money I find. If I'm going to bet on something I'm going to bet on something I actually know about and something that has a decent chance of happening.

This is the first year I'm old enough to bet on them, so might this year.
I usually just pick the one with the funniest name when I have a competition with my family to see if "our horse" wins.

We don't actually watch it though, we just look up the winners.

The forum dept usually does something like this so I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. If they confirm they're not this year then yeah I will :)

Phil

Think I'm gonna go for Shutthefrontdoor, Ballycasey, Alvarado and maybe Balthazar King. That's if Paddy Power will hurry and let me bet :@

Danny
11-04-2015, 01:35 PM
Sticking with Across The Bay, shutthefrontdoor, Oscar Time, Many Clouds, Ballycasey.

Phil
11-04-2015, 01:44 PM
Okay these are my bets, please keep in mind I know next to nothing about this so don't take my bets as suggestions :P Only semi tactical one is Ballycasey. WP Mullins & Ruby Walshe

Unlucky those who have backed Ballycasey, Ruby Walsh is riding and has said he thinks it's got no chance [emoji13]

Phil
11-04-2015, 02:32 PM
Lmao really? Where did he say that?!

That's okay I still have three others!!

Danny
11-04-2015, 02:33 PM
I only backed it because Ruby Walsh was riding! Many Clouds is being ridden by last year's winning jockey, Leighton Aspell.

Ouch at the injured horse, fell down tried to get back up but got taken down at full speed by another horse.

Well done whoever backed #2.

Phil

Yeah but I don't mind because I didn't even know the money was on the account. Paddy Power emailed me being like "btw you have €13.92"

Forgot you get your bet back so got €10.58 lol
