Grand National

[Merp]

Its that time of year again, following on from a fairly good Cheltenham Festival, let the discussions begin:

Today I've gone for the following all E/W bets, the £20 challenge still applying:

2:00 - Poungach
2:30 - Lyvius
3:05 - Burton Port

4:15 - Tanks For That

...for the national its Planet of Sound for me as an E/W

I was tempted by that purely for the name!

£14 EW on Follow The Plan did nicely for me

I haven't had a bet on them. Betfred have tried to pay me 26 quid winnings for my bet they are having a laugh.

How did you get on ?

Won't pay out saying that's the correct amount as they only pay a 5th of the odds on all results. I got a 10 quid free bet off them as a goodwill jesture which went on natasha rostova at wolverhampton last night. Won at 14/1.
Very hard fields today so have just put a 50p lucky 15 on silvinaico conti, finians rainbow, little josh and fingal bay.
Keeping my money for 2moro.

What is a lucky 15?

What is a lucky 15?

4 horses 15 bets.

i.e pick four horses £1 lucky 15 = £15.

singles, doubles, trebles and a quadruple.

a good way of backing shorter priced horses without spending a lot of money.

only one winner and you usually get treble the odds, get all four and they give you a 10 - 20% bonus depending on the bookie.
