Hot Tip Grand National

The main reason I am posting this is I work for a specialist sports analysis company and would like to share with you all, my companies advice for the Grand National just in case anyone would like a flutter.

Slim Pickings 4:15 Aintree currently available around 11/1

I would like to warn people that horses fall and other accidents occur in the grand national and there is no way they can win in that case. This is a FLUTTER Each Way tip only so don't bet the farm.

I am sorry if I have posted this against the rules and if a mod wishes to move or delete this post I will understand.

I daren't cross post so if you think this post has merit please spread the word.

Best of luck

    Ooooh, bit disappointing.

    4th at 10/1

    I had £40 EW at 11/1 with Hills and £10 EW at 12/1 with Corals


    Returns £150.00 from Hills for £80 stake

    Returns £40 from Corals for £20 stake

    That is £90 Net Profit

    Plus £25 Cashback from Quidco for opening new Corals account and £10 free bet from Corals smile.gif

    £5 laid out to win, £5 to place. £22.50 won on the place bet, £5 lost on the win bet, so only £17.50 profit, not £22.50. That's 'specialist sports analysis' for you ;-)

    But only if the bookie was paying 1/4 odds - I thought most were only paying 1/5th odds for the place, thus probably only £18.00 place and £13.00 profit.
