I will be betting. Only time I ever do. How do you choose? Do you go by trainer? jockey? Or like us in our household, by names or colours? (We do it this way as it's anyones race) |

"Had a bet no idea what the horses are called, better have a look at the betting slip before the race.
It's the only time I ever bet comes from being a kid and my dad letting me pick a horse. "
same thing here when we where little kids we chose our own horse and my dad would put a 25p bet on for us |

"I have no idea how to even place a bet.
I wouldn't bet on the Grand National anyway. So many horses are badly injured in it each year. I think this particular race is animal cruelty.  "
oh this thread was about what your betting on maybe start another thread about the cuelty |

purely by name and chosing the one where you could connect to the name.

I drive past the course often. Those fences are unnecessarily high. I'm amazed there aren't more injuries to horses.
They are HUGE the jumps. Especially at Beecher's and Melling. |

That's exactly how my stepdad bets. He went racing for the first time a couple of months back. Chose a name that had one of his granddaughters name in it & was the only one of the group to come away with a decent win. The others had all bet on form etc.... |

I answered about betting. The animal cruelty point is my reason for not betting on this race.
That and I don't know how to. |

I usually go by name and if it's relevant to me or my circumstances... If the odds are good I sometimes go for the favourite but always an each way bet as more chance of winning something |

"ok someone help me.. what is 'each way'
and what does it mean when it says 'we'll pay the top 5' ?
signed idiot of Devon  "
you can either bet on a horse to win outright or bet on it to come in the top 4 (top 5) means they will pay 5th place as well.
If you put £5 on a horse to win it costs £5 if you put £5 its double so if you just wanted to put £5 in total you would do £2.50ew |
