The great grand national tip thread

It says it all in the title, I am a non gambler, not because of some deep moral dilemma, more because I am crap at it.
However due to the deep recession, cuts, deficits and a feeling of **** it, lets live dangerously, tomorrow I will join the rest of the human race and place a bet, on The Grand National.

Question is, WHAT ON.

Here is where I need your help, tips please!

Before you rush in, think hard because,

I am poor
Get it wrong and I could be on the streets
The next time you walk through Durham, that wizened old man selling the Big Issue could be me
The responsibility I put on you is immense

Advise away........................

 

But extra lottery tickets.

 

what price is that

 

"Two-Headed Sex Beast" or "Zainab Badawi's Twenty Hotels"

 

no need for that mate, only asking

 

only tip i can give you, as a mackem don't bet on 5

 

Avoid 'Surface to Air' like the plague as I've drawn it for the office sweepstake.

It'll be in a kebab on Sunday; trust me. They always do...

 

Lotto about 7,000,000 to 1

Tonights Euro about 11,000,000 to 1

There's a rumour number 13 is a cert for the Euro mind.

 

Going for Walsh's and/or McCoy's, each way, just makes good sense as the chances are one of those to will be a contender. I think you get 8'-1 and 14-1 respectively at most bookies.

Paddy Power place to fifth and give you a free £10 bet when you bet £20 if you start an online account.

 

did that last week, bet 10 pound on gyan to score. Lost and closed account, fickle bastard me

 

Hahahaha start a new one under your missus' details. It's fraud but it's the Grand National so a little petite crime is understandable.

 

SYD, good tip ,,,,,,, dont play with matches.

 

Unless at SId James Park.

 

Well so far it looks like..

Dont Push It and The Midnight Club E/W

But I have to put a wager on....BIG FELLA THANKS to win, it mut be a sign

 

I did a daft one on state of play and 25-1. I can't either justify why I did it so it just might be stupid enough to come off.

 

I remember the year when the race got abandoned. This news didn't get anounced at Roker Park, or at least I didn't hear it. So after the game I entered a packed Howard Arms with my bookies slip in hand and shouted out "does anyone know what won the National". "Bomb scare" came a reply. "Oh" I said disapointedly, and then asked "so what came second, third and fouth". The whole pub went into fits of laughter, and I still get the piss took out of me about it to this day.

 

You're famous I heard about that.

 

Just had tp stick a fiver on Big Fella Thanks in tribute to Stewart, got 16/1 for it

 

That's brilliant.

I'm chuckling away like a loon in the office.

Backed Calgary Bay to win this weekend
