    haha but you'll kick yourself if they all come in! tricast and forecast bets on the national can bring net huge sums - albeit it's difficult enough just picking the winner ... you used to be able to get special coupons in bookmakers for those type of bets, been along time since I've been in one - I know you can do easily online and if you take the odds offered they tell how much you can win, even with very small stakes - last years Trifecta netted £48,436.10 for a £1 stake !

    £2.00 each way on 'shutthefrontdoor', £2.00 each way on 'unioniste'. I won £10 on aldaniti in 1981, which was good back in them days and an emotional story with the great Bob champion and his horse. Fancy a quid on Villa to stop up !.

    That'd require 3 other teams finishing with less than 34 points, 34 being the maximum Villa can get now.

    If Norwich get a point this weekend and Villa lose, that's their relegation confirmed.

    Even if Norwich lose and Villa lose, Villa will be 15 points behind Norwich with 15 left to play for and a 20 goal worse g/d than Norwich.

    You can make that 1,000,000/1 and its' still generous to Villa.

    Number 12 and one in red or red and white! Doens;t matter what the odds are, that's what I back every year - a pound on each - if they are over 30/1 then it's 50p each way otherwise a pound on the nose!

    Druids Nephew - This has a great chance.
    Just A Par - Done this each way, just with the masters being on. Sometimes you get coincidences like this

    gone for Saint Are and Morning Assembly £2 each way, not at massive prices but think both have a definite chance if they stay on their feet might pick a bigger priced horse out when I get to the bookies and stick 50p EW on it just to round my spends up to £5

    Yea I've done them two and like you say Just a Par purely for the coincidence thing. Also stuck a few bob on Ballynagour or summit like that. It's an outsider but you never know in this race.

    Ruby Walsh was originally on Boston Bob when I backed it, that's why I backed it!
