for those who like a bit of horse racing lol I'm not a regular betting man but I put a few quid on the Grand National every year.

So who else likes the gee gees? Who's backing what?

It's the only time I ever bet on the horses..

I always back number 4, regardless of form, etc..

Not the most successful of methods though...lol

Good luck with your own...

Ha, I have picked 3 winners over the last 5 years so hopefully my luck is in lol although I've been greedy and picked 7!!

Synchronised
Ballabriggs (not often I back the previous winner!)
Black Apalachi
On His Own
Seabass
State Of Play
In Compliance

I always enjoy watching the race even if I lose...

It all seems like too much hard work looking at form and weights and ground conditions, etc..

No, once a year does me...

On his own is what I'm betting on at a £100, if I win then I'll be on my own then lol

My mum works for william hill as well lol. Still not going to bother backing a horse. Doesn't interest me one bit. Play the Irish lottery every now and again though.

Never done it, and as everyone in the bookies would turn, laugh and point at me when I didn't know how to put a tenner on the nose- eachway - rally - race - turbo- track etc I don't think I ever will.

Best of luck to everyone who has bet though lol

Mine's on..

Go number 4...:thumb:

And there you have it, after all these years my 'backing number 4' system finally yields a win...
