not done that for a few years, might have a shot myself. think i picked the winner last year, or the year before, but didn't put any money on. last time i did put money on, was a £1 bet, got £3 back ha ha. was an each way bet too

Did a sweepstake on board the ship we were on last year and no one won, pretty much whole ship watched the race, two minutes later some american that only put in the sweepstake to take the last horse only walks in to realise he has bloody won it.

I've never bet on the grand national although I have competed at Aintree..... :-) And if you think those jumps look high from a horse, imagine what they look like from a race car on soaking wet tarmac right next to them! :-)

Last time I backed on the National was in 1958, horse called Mr What came in first so reconing I was ahead I haven't backed sinse. Oh! winnings were £2 10shillings, last of the big spenders, Cheers Ray

only bet on 2 horses in my life

one returned £12 ish, but was back in the days that you had to pay tax on it, and I didnt understand, so I had to pay it on my winning, instead of the stake

the second horse returned over £32k

and I have never bet on a horse again
