Anyone putting bets on this year? I never bet on the horses at any other time, but I always put something on the National :D

I can't say I know much about it.. I only pick names that are significant :angel:

But oddly enough I usually win something

I've never been inside a betting shop in my life. I wouldn't have a clue what to say or do. In fact I'd be quite frightened!

I only go in once a year, and I do find it slightly intimidating but I reckon I have as much right to be in there as all those dodgy men gazing at screens :D The bookies make it easier for you now - they have a slip just for the National and you just tick boxes.. even I can manage it! :D

In the past I have braved the bookies but only for the Grand National but I find it quite daunting. :-?


This year as the kids are older I let them pick a horse each £1 e/w each and placed the bet online which was very painless :D

Cody (4) picked Numbersixvalverde but changed his mind and went for Rince Ri cos he liked the striped (got quite far but refused in the end) {@}

Joe (5 1/2) picked Joes Edge for obvious reason (finsished 7th) :D

Luke (nrly 9) picked HedgeHunter as he is a bit older and understood he had a better chance with one of the favourites (2nd)

To make it up to £10 I picked Jack High who didn't last long and also picked Numbersixvalverde mainly due to the fact that Cody had picked it originally (Winner!!!)

I had told the kids that if any of them won they could do what they like with their winning and if I won I woould share it so they are very happy {@}

...mind you Cody is now saying that he had really wanted Numbersixvalverde all along ;) :angel:
