Grand national sweepstake (fun)

[springer]

An 8yr old hasn't won it since 2002.

I'll take State Of Play

Correct.

State of Play is a good pick and, among 15 other horses has criteria of the last 10 winners. That is:

- Aged 8 to 12
- Has won over 3 miles
- Is carrying less than 11st 1lb
- Has run 10 times over fences
- Has an Official Rating between 136 and 147

The three horses I mentioned above match the above criteria plus that of 9 of the last 10 winners:

- Only 1 win this season
- Has won a Class 1 race (Irish Raptor matches all but this criteria)

The Grand National can be won by any horse, but the statistics can lead to an informed bet. If you applied those stats to last years race then you would got a 100/1 winner in Mon Mome.

I don't particullary follow form, because I've watched these horses running and I know what they can do and if they came 6th due to interference etc.

If you do use your stats tied in with big prices and 5 places then it's a good bet

I couldn't make my mind up, what to bet on, so I stacked 3 good bets, and split the remainder of my account between the other 5, all bets are each way.

Dont Push It @ 20/1
Piraya @ 100/1
Madison Du Berlais @ 40/1
Cloudy Lane @ 33/1
Irish Raptor @ 33/1
Cant Buy Time @ 28/1
Comply Or Die @ 25/1
Big Fella Thanks @ 7/1

If this comes off, I'll laying in my bet that GaGa gets a top 3 and 1 for xmas or new year, and a white xmas or new year

Niche Market
The Package
Tricky Trickster
Big Fella Thanks

I've picked a non-runner so I'm switching to Flintoff - which, suspiciously, has not been out for nearly a year, and has the same trainer as last year's long odds winner.

Just placed my bet on Ballyfitz each way, 85/1 at Betfair

Half a hour to go
The winner gets a virtual gold cup

 

[Skinner]

I'm not even watching it, I'll just collect my winnings.

If 5 of my 8 donkeys place under the E/W, I'll be buying an LLL.co.uk, if I gain a win with my top 3 bets, I'll be close to 2/3 to LLL.com, so giggity giggity giddy up donkey!

 

[accelerator]

Watching this now ... providing this is just for fun and no-one's taken it already, I'll take 100/1 outsider Piraya. 5 mins to go ...

[doodlebug]

I just put it into the virtual workshop

 

[Skinner]

I ended up £163 + Total Original 8 Stakes Covered.

So I didn't do too badly, not quite my LLL

I lost on national but not bovered because yesterday I done 1 bet > £10 each way on Albertas run at 8-1 and it won so I made £100 profit
