Had totally forgotten about that. Should just make the pub after football for it. Have just gone for a spread at low stakes e/w. Quite fancy Any Second Now or Longhouse Poet from the shorter odds.

Heh, I had 17 quid in an old Smarkets account I haven’t used for well over a year (formerly for matched betting) - it’s all gone now. Or not, if any of the 4 horses I picked comes in first

I had Good Boy Bobby marked in my account for some reason, so I’ve backed that

Got 4 horses backed. All small each-way bets.
I never have any luck on horse racing, yet always have a flutter on the grand national.
For some stupid reason! 😀

Nice. If i had seen that one, I'd have done the same.
Since i haven't backed it, you'll have a better chance of winning! 😀

Never bet on the national before so I put a tenner on a random horse and with the 30 quid I got as a bonus I just chucked that on a top 4 finish for a few others.

Gone for Minella Times as my main bet and took advantage of a 100/1 bet boost on 365 as my outsider.

I did. Small fry though and basically just covered my bets. Which is fine when the winner is a 50/1 outsider!

Had the winner but it was only 50p ew. I think everyone throws a small bet on one or two outsiders as well as their main horse. £26/27 for it though so still something. Had the Sam Brown on the one before £1 ew at 40/1 too I think it was so not a bad day. Thank you best odds guaranteed.

Missed the first 2, placed in a couple but we're speculative bets really. Will try and study it all properly tomorrow.

I don't know how you lot do it- I can never win on horses.
Football, yes, with the very occasional accumulator coning in too, but horses? Very rarely. I've given up trying, but good luck to you all!

Some of it is luck tbf. I rarely win big, usually maybe £10-20 up or down across a Festival. I stick to these events though, I would be destitute in no time otherwise!

My mate used to run a tipping twitter account that always helps. Gives me a few tips every now and again that usually come in.
