Aintree John Smith's GRAND NATIONAL Saturday 6th April 2013 - Bets and discussion in here

He's 14/1 at Betfair atm, jfyi.

Is with a few bookies too but 12/1 was the general price. I'll be doing my bets tomorrow morning, but remember folks if you are going to place bets in shop.. TAKE THE PRICE THERE AND THEN, NEVER TAKE THE SP!

Odds always shorten dramatically about half an hour before the off so make sure you get on in plenty of time.
 
As someone mentioned already....Bet victor are paying out on SIX places, so that's where I've done my bets.

Had to take the odds a little shorter but I don't mind for that extra place.

Work sweepstake gave me Weird Al, Tatanen and Soll
 
random lot from me

Cappa Bleu win / each way
On his own to win
Colbert Station win / each way
Join together win / each way

and Ninetieth Minute win / each way :p
 
Ah yes that one day of the year that's carnage for us!!
FYI Mortimers Cross, Cloudy Lane, Quinz, Romanesco, Gullible Gordon don't go. Think I've missed out one or 2 but they definitely don't go.

As for my bets I've done

-What a Friend
-Ballabriggs
-Imperial Commander (top weight!)

All £1 e/w singles, 10p combo forecasts (20 bets) and 5p combo tricasts (60 bets)

Sorry guys if this is a stupid question but say I put a bet on of 5 horses and one of them pulls out before the race starts does that mean that my bet is over?

Is it best to put on 5 individual bets?
 
Seabass was 12/1 as i left for the bookies, 9/1 when i got there >_<

Always back 10 horses £1 EW, but then i chucked £3 in the roulette machine in the bookies and won £20, so free bets for me ^_^

Done well the past few years, always at least made my money back with high priced places / winners so hopefully my run continues :D
 
wasn't Coral was it? their online prices are better than in shop

Nah william hill, the 6 front runners were all 12/1 on opening Just checked my slip and it actually was 8/1 by the time id sorted some football bets out as well >_< never mind :D
 
This is the first time for several years where I'm not going to put on a bet. Just never got around to it and now I'm at work, so no chance at all now.

On a side note, I wonder how many horses will die this year.
