jonthefox Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 I know its a bit of a lottery, but has anyone had a bet?
Sly Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Yes, the whole household has taken a bit of a bet for banter. As none of us know a bloody thing about horse racing, other than the fact they have 4 legs, a head and a crocodile can keep up with them over a short distance, we have opted to place a single pound on each, as follows. Me - Midnight Club 10/1 Other half - Quinz - 12/1 Daughter - Character building -20/1 Outside bet - Royal Rosa - 100/1 I fully expect to lose £4 as well.
isaidno Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Silver By Nature £1 e/w @ 15/1 Calgary Bay 50p e/w @33/1 Vic Venturi in the work sweepstake
Jimothy Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Always bet on the National, have done since I was about 10 I think. Bluesea Cracker 20/1 Grand Slam Hero 80/1 Majestic Concorde 28/1 The Tother One 50/1 What a Friend 12/1 All £2 to win. Then every year I stick £1 on the one with longest odds at the time I bet, so I've got Quolibet at 150/1
FoxyPV Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Wasn't going to but Mrs FoxyPV wants to bet so I'll have to go round to the bookies. Me - The Midnight Club + Don't push it - both e/w Her - Calgary Bay e/w
purpleronnie Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Had 3 horses E/W Ballabriggs (Thanks dad for tipping that one) Quinz Backstage
Libertine Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Ballabriggs, State of Play and Niche Market all coming in for me.
FoxyPV Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Wasn't going to but Mrs FoxyPV wants to bet so I'll have to go round to the bookies. Me - The Midnight Club + Don't push it - both e/w Her - Calgary Bay e/w Didn't have enough money to back both and chose The midnight club <_<
Salieri Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Won a mighty £6.50 on Don't Push It. My mum however won £85 on Ballabriggs, the bitch.
Guest Bilo Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 I picked the winner, decent. Sad about the two horses who died though, could clearly see them on the ground in front of the two fences that were omitted.
Salieri Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Can some one post the top 5 for me please? 1 Ballabriggs (14-1) 2 Oscar Time (14-1) 3 Don't Push It (9-1) 4 State Of Play (28-1) 5 Niche Market (16-1)
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 Cheers but I think I did no good we got free place bets paying on the top 5 for every win bet and I did shite
BoneDog Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 I had a small e/w bet on Santas Son. Started to get confident by fence 15 cos he was going beautifully, right at the front for ages but then it went tits up.
Fosse Boy Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 I win £30 backing the winner and think I'm the don of horse racing. Just found out my mate's won £195. Oh well, at least I won't be the first port of call when everyone's glasses are empty tonight.
the_foxes_till_i_die Posted 9 April 2011 Posted 9 April 2011 cant believe my 3yr old daughter picked out state of play and i put £2 e/w and she gets the profits
Guest DavidJCW Posted 10 April 2011 Posted 10 April 2011 Saw a small statuette of an Oscars award in town today and then got back and saw Oscar Time at 14/1... I then proceeded to think, why not, I'll put £10 on that E/W. Not a huge winnings at £12.50, but for my first ever bet on anything, it's not too shoddy!
Matt Posted 10 April 2011 Posted 10 April 2011 Had Don't Push It e/w and wasn't going to but I won on the first race (Sprit Son) so had an extra e/w bet on Oscar Time too, so the money I lost betting on Thursday/Friday I think i've broke even now, maybe even £1 or £2 up!
