Grand National Odds
 
Any tips? The betting odds invariably shorten as the weeks go by.

The National is for amateur gamblers and grannies , the fields too big so back each way and spread the bet .

Cheltenham is the one for serious racing enthusiasts . The meeting is the creme de la creme for the jump racing fraternity .

A great few days as well .

Bookies love the National , for every Doris who has a quid each way winner at 80/1 there's thousands of punters weighing in with 20 quid on the hooter bets !

Back in the 60s/70s I remember backing a horse called Freddy several times. It used to finish in the top four quite often so I was quids in.:cool:
