Its the one occassion a year that i gamble. Mainly because I know two people who treat gambling like a science and try to out-do each other on accurate tips. And normally they're pretty good. So I've had a fair old punt tomorrow. I shall be shouting at the telly come 3.00

Who's betting on what then?

office sweepstake, I have Niche Market.

Sweepstake for me too, Mon Mome – last year's winner, I was told

go for "creosote" …good over the fences !!!!

I know nothing about horse racing.

Is Red Rum in it?

Its a punt-tastic weekend. I resisted the temptation to do a monster aintree/paris-roubaix/masters accumulator and just whacked on a few singles but all my hard work was undone when the GF got hold of the paddypower login i had up and started doing the "ooh, I like that name, each way?" thing.

Come monday I may be considerably richer. Or not. Probably not.

The National is the worst horse race to bet on, too many horses and too many obstacles meaning even the best horses don't finish.
Saying that, Black Apalachi.

i haven't before but i have chosen the top three in any order, have no idea what that kind of bet is called, but holiday when i win

No interest in horse racing however have entered office sweepstake – ended up with 'Flintoff' @ 66/1…I don't have much hope!
