Grand National.

Will you be having a flutter?

I'll be putting a bet on for me and one for the dog tomorrow. It's the only time we will bet on a horse.

I reckon, after his experience this morning, Dayvo should have a flutter on Cloudy Lane

Don't know what the odds are, Noodley, but could you put a tenner on it for me! I'll pay you back: honest!

I've never really gambled, although when I was in Australia, my mate had a greyhound, Sir Packer, which kept me comfortably in beer money for six months.

Don't generally bother to put a bet on, but I have a couple of nags in the works sweepstake. Then again, looking at their form, they're probably three legged donkeys

 

[andygates]

As is traditional, I have a couple of quid on Glue Factory in the office sweepstake... c'mon horsey!

Having just had a look at the field, Snowy Morning would have been more appropriate!

Aye, I saw that as well - I may have a punt on that

I have quite a good record to carry over from C+.

First two years ago and second and third last year...but don't listen to me - no don't

I've drawn Ironman in the pub sweepstake. 66/1 at the bookies.

 

[Keith Oates]

I also very rarely bet on anything but I used to have a flutter on the National and it's a good race to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the only horse bet we put on,we go 50 pence each way on one each,i think that means if it comes in the first three,my wife puts em on for us,as i havnt got a clue how to,but its become a yearly ritual

 

[Abitrary]

I might put a few quids each-way on the 1000/1s

Oh i just looked at the list,and picked a name i liked the sound of,same as my wife

 

[Abitrary]

LOL!! this is what a betting guide says about Contraband at 250/1:

"Will need some if he is to win this race. Only those who have had some will back him."

Noodley!
Did you do the £5 each way on Snowy Morning as I requested nicely?
Don't know what the odds were, but I bloody hope you did!

 

[Dayvo]

Just saw them on BBC's webpage. 16-1.
Hmmm, that's a tidy sum. I'll pm you with my bank acct. details so you can pay it in; keep £25 for yourself!
