Anyone having a flutter on the Grand National tommorow??!!:D

[sweet]

yes most definitly!

I chose a horse the other day...Osmosis..only to find out yesterday that its only a reserve...lmao!!! ...how was i meant to know!

so i chose another one yesterday..that is starting!!! lol!

[colourart]

No, but I'm organising a sweepstake for family. Just a bit of fun really!:p

[SusieQ]

Oh yes I am!!! The builders on my extension were talking about it and asked me if I was having a flutter. I have put £1 each way on the fave and £1 each way on Snowy something!!!! I wouldn't have bothered but the roofer is putting it on for me. Can't wait to see it now!!!!!I used to go cold when horseracing was mentioned because I was once engaged to a compulsive gambler - girls don't go there - and life was horrendous. I nearly had a nervous breakdown through him! Now I am really happily married so it doesn't matter.(Sorry, don't mean to depress anyone!!!):mad:
Enjoy the race!!! Sue xx:mf:

Whhhaaayyy!!

I;ve got £1 each way on Simon (had to didn't I as its husband's name) and £1 each way on Snowy Morning (cos its going to!).

I get really excited by it all!!!:mf::mf::mf:

OOh yes, I love horse racing and last year I had the winner - Silver Birch (£70 in winnings plus my stake back - thank you!).

This year I've got £5 to win on Snowy Morning and £5 to win on King Johns Castle - bet they both fall!

Good luck everyone :p

How gutted am I - my horses finished second and third but I didn't bet each way so I win nothing. Not fair :(

[SusieQ]

I came third!!!!!! HURRAH!!!!! oNLY PUT £1 EACH WAY SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SHOUTING ABOUT!!!!:D

[craftyfoxni]

My brother's horse won!!!! and no 1 son picked the second horse at £1 each way we think he will collect about £5:D he's well pleased with himself and he's only 9 ;)

[craftyfoxni]

he was so pleased that the horse finished second and i told him how much money it might be he said it wasn't about the money but that the horse was no 27 and his birthday is 27 august!!! if only he was so easily pleased all the time

[lauralou1601]

I was working behind the bar in the tatterstalls end at Aintree and loads of people kept asking me for tips, n I only knew one horse that was racing so I kept saying Slim Pickings is deffinetly going to win! The ammount of people who actually went and put a bet on it was unreal! One man actually put £100 on it coz I told him too! They were all completely legless tho, I was scared for my life when it came in fourth!

[craftyjan]

never mind if they had that much money to put on a horse then thats their look out there is no certainties in horse racing

[Focus on Life]

I'm a casino's nightmare, almost never do the lottery, never remember when the gee gee's are even on, let alone think about betting on it - I was exploring the delights of a scrapyard yesterday with my man, completely oblivious to the whole thing :horse:

Congrats to all those who won a little or a lot though!
