Come on.
 
I hate it when they fall...horrible
 
i had £1 each way on Slim Pickings as one of my horses, it came 4th, do i get any money?
 
fecking get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!

Backed the winner!!!!!!!
 
Woooooohooooooooo

I'm buzzing my tits off here.

Last minute bet £100 in the bag
 
Bewley's Berry - It's the Traveller's yard for you my son! :mad:

Un-fecking-believable - I think I'm the only person I know who failed to make money on the Grand National this year - even my bird put a couple of quid on Snowy Morning Each Way cos it had a nice name.

This is why I only go down the bookies once a year! :D

Thanks mate, first ever winner on the horses and I was litterally jumping around my living room, still buzzing now.

Great feeling.

On a side note, how long before the winnings show up in my betfair account, first time I used it today?
 
Thought King John's Castle was gonna take it, but no major complaints at £7 EW.

GET IN!! :D

What excitement eh.

One of the highlights of the year.
 
I won eight measley pounds on comply or die! It's just a shame I lost £30 on Baz's horses.
 
i won 20 quid today, 13 quid on comply or die and 7 quid on a sweepstake

In market order:

Cloudy Lane - Big chance but too short in the betting
Comply or Die - Nice weight, good form and a proper stayer. Backed it.
Slim Pickings - Like the course form but last year`s race (he was placed) was weaker. Not for me.
Simon. Higher in the weights this time and not in the same form . Place lay.
Bewleys Berry. Should be at longer odds. Avoid.
Chelsea Harbour. Dark horse. Saver.
Butlers Cabin. False Price because McCoy is onboard.
King Johns Castle. Should be 33s. Avoid.
Mr Pointment. Too high in the weights.
Snowy Morning. Tempting but second season chasers don`t win this. Small EW maybe.
Hedgehunter. The handicapper is a twat for not dropping the old boy a few pounds. Could still place.
Point Barrow. Large on it last year and it fell at the first. Gone in again at 33s but not as confident. Stats wise he ticks all the boxes.

Be very surprised if the winner doesn`t come from that lot.

I followed your lead, thank you.
 
I won £40 on 'Comply or Die'. Only my second ever bet on any sporting event. :D

I think so. My mate won about 15 quid on 'Slim Pickings' and I think he bet a fiver each way.
