    Just a bit of fun for the Grand National.

    Welcome to Honest Devo's :angel: Bookies

    Honest Devo will give you, as if by magic - £40 <magic>

    All you have to do is pick Four Runners and Honest Devo will stick a tenner on each one.

    Now Honest Devo doesn't work the same way as other bookies - no sir!

    From your four picks, Honest Devo will pay full odds for the winner, 75% for 2nd, 50% for 3rd and 25% for 4th.

    Also, Honest Devo doesn't believe in Starting Prices. Instead he is going with the prices as they stand now.

    So please pick your four horses and don't forget to put the odds next to it or Honest Devo wont be very happy! <grr>

    Sad to see dead horses during the race. I hope they didn't suffer too much.

    They did seem to be going at a fair rate of knots. Was a good race to watch even though it interfered with my other viewing options.

    £40, If only that were true!

    How to decide the winner?
    I'll toss a coin if you like. Woopert you call. Heads or tails.
