Anyone having a little flutter tomorrow? or have any hot tips?
I don't normally gamble but as i'm going to Newmarket later this year i though i might get into the atomsphere of racing by making a little bet online or sending Mr H to the local William Hill.
How do these things work before i place a bet? ( in Lorna language please)
I do the lottery sometimes and i've been to Bingo once. Bingo was my ex husbands thing. He preferred that to a night out with the lads on the beer. The one time i went along with him all the old dears treated him like a son.
GRAND NATIONAL.
I can see your point, most horse racing consists of around 8-12 horse, the Grand National has so many though at least one horse each year involved in the Grand National get put down.Ant wrote:I usually have a little bet based on the colours that look nicest.
Although I hate seeing all the horses fall over - bordering on cruelty really.
They usually do it at work but I wasn't in work today for stuperstitious (sp, actually that's not a real word) reasons

Go for number thirteen.
Haven't a clue what it is, but it must have a damn good chance.

Stoopid stoopid horses. I might have a go at this dog racing lark. Are you allowed to place bets on the rabbit?

Not really a rabbit anymore looks more like a giant goldfish at Romford Dogs, it's a windsock thoughmiss hellfire wrote:Stoopid stoopid horses. I might have a go at this dog racing lark. Are you allowed to place bets on the rabbit?

That is so wrong. I think i might start a petition about it on Downing streets website.
Gonna start training Thumper for his first race. I'll own the fastest racing rabbit Kent has ever seen.

Yesterday I bet £1 each way on Point Barrow. I spent about 10 minutes in Ladbrokes analysing a newspaper spread. I took into account:
The bit of text about each horse
Age: I was led to believe 9/10 years is a good age. Younger than that and they're inexperienced.
Weight: I have a fixation it's best to avoid anything over 11 stone.
Odds.
Recent winning record
From the bit of chat, Point Barrow seemed a promising bet from the bit of text, and other said factors. Decided therefore to go for Point Barrow.
At the start of the race, Point Barrow's odds were 8-1, joint favourite with 2 other horses.
After all that, Point Barrow fell at the first fence!
Two quid up in smoke. Well it could have been worse, glad I didn't bet any more than I did. Remember, only bet what you can afford to lose.
