Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Geezer7348]

Well its that time of year again for another big race on Saturday!. I have placed 4 bets on some horses(donkeys?)

I took some advice from some other gambling folk who are in to the horse racing so over the 4 different horses I staked £16 as I am not flushed with cash!.

According to some of the other gamblers they have staked some cash on "Simon" and some others on "Joes Edge".

I guess its survival of the fittest in this race and form doesnt really count for anything as some of the favourites may fall at the fences. I ended up placing bets on Joes Edge, Simon, Hedgehunter and Clan Royal so I guess time will tell.

Anybody else having a punt on the donkeys?

[Grace]

Ooh, my dad has shares is a string of horses, I hope some of them win.

[Jamie]

Hedgehunter and Clan Royal were the favourites last year..

[Jono]

[Jamie]

You can bet on the grand national on most betting sites. betfair, bet365, william hill, just look around.

[Jono]

Hmm, what amusing names are running this year?

[Jamie]

Dunno i havent looked yet.

[Geezer7348]

Hedgehunter and Clan Royal were the favourites last year..

yeah I know, thats why I picked them again this year , think hedgehunter fell away at the end of the last national though.

Any where you can bet online? I want to do some betting! God help us all.

Yeah, I used William Hill's online to place my bets, was pretty straight forward, this link below may be useful.

[Rac.]

Does anyone remember which horse the physcic (spelling?) said to go for on Scott Mills Show?

[Jono]

Dean The Psychic claimed Bothar Na to win (£5) and Euro Trek each way (£2.50)

[Rac.]

Ah right, thanks. I really don't get odds and stuff so I usually go with what has the best name, but this year I'll be supersticious and go with the psychic heh. He better be right, I could lose a whole pound!

[Jono]

Can I have a refund please?

[Geezer7348]

Can I have a refund please?

how much did you put on?, what 3 legged nag did you back?, I had £16 shared between 4 and none of them came in the top 4

Lindy decided to go each way and included McKelvey who finished 2nd so I wonder how much she will get for her £1 stake

[Jono]

Fiver each way on Simon and Hedgehunter. Thought Simon was going to come top at one point, then he fell off, haha.

[Serin]

Simon didn't win, actual bastar*y. I only had £1 on anyway.

[dstrkzn]

I actually managed to completely forget the grand national was today, not that i ever win anyway last year i backed a horse that never made it to the finish line :]

[Jono]

I wish they'd done a dress rehearsal, all that faffing about trying to get the horses in line.
