    Not big into the horses, didn't get to see the Irish National last week but mine was beaten by half a length into second at 25/1. Raging. Wouldn't bother backing anything under 20/1 or so in this one..

    Two e/w bets for me -
    Quel Esprit 40/1
    Lost Glory 50/1

    What's with the attitude? Did you not get the leg over last night?

    I guess most offices still pass round a hat/box for you to pick out a runners name? or has that practice died out in recent years?

    We did one in work yesterday. I got a 66/1 shot that if he wins (he won't - he's a pig) I get paid 27/1 :rolleyes: :p

    Total lottery. Sure you have horses at 100s winning this.

    Which is why it's great! :D

    Just put a bet on cappa bleu as part of a sweepstake in the shopping centre I work in. I know nothing about racing, but 12-1 odds aren't too terrible, and the girl taking the bet said he's a decent horse. Fingers crossed. :)

    Chicago Gray E/W.

    Would like to see Imperial Commander win, certainly the classiest horse on show.

    It's a roulette. Anyone giving out solid "tips" for the national can be immediately identified as a spoofer. People I know who work in bookies hate this day more than any other because you get a plethora of people in with their €2 each way bets asking a million and one stupid questions at the hatch. Due to the clusterf*ck nature of it, it's only good for a bit of a sweepstake in work.

    All tipsters are spoofers.

    In any given race, different tipsters could tip up to 6 or 7 horses.

    People wrongly think of horses as machines like as if nothing could go wrong.

    It's the only time I ever gamble, so fingers crossed!

    Could be a late scramble just before the off tho, best to get in there as early as possible!
