Mad Bet On Grand National

I decided to put a bet on each horse in the race

It could be profitable if a few big priced are placed or win but did it for the laugh really

i put 0.20c each way on each horse
Total cost = €16.00
I backed them earlier when the prices were bigger in Victor chandler

I'll let you know how much i get back after the race

Would you not be losing money if a horse with low odds/favourite wins?

Just heard on C4 racing, somebody has placed £5000 on a 16/1 shot but didn't hear the name of the horse .

Yes i would but if a few 50-1's were placed it would get back most of my money anyway.

I think there will be a big priced winner though

Only have €16 in total anyway and i think i;ll get most of it back.

I think the maximum a could get back is around €300 thats if a 100-1 won and other larger priced horses were placed

Not much chance of it but it'll be interesting to see what returns are made anyway

Luckily I heard them mention the price dropping dramatically on WH radio and got in at 17s. The person who put the 5000 down probably got in at mid 20s or so.
