FleetFanatic Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well that didn't quite go to plan. Spent £5 ew, £100, £50 refunded. Returns £36.25 so lost £13.75. For a while, we were hopeful for 3 of them near the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Chris Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Another winner who was over the fences for the first time. Apart from tiger roll who doubled up the last 9-10 winners were over the national fences for the first time. That’s a pretty strong stat . Most of the horses in top 10 were over the fences for first time. Think only Blaklion and Jett were only two to jump national fences before.

gbettle Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Same old, same old ... Not much better this year's SP - for the typical punter, it was the usual rip-off: Overrounds: Industry SP 146%, Betfair SP 104.9% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCLARKE Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 From a business perspective you can't blame the bookmakers, most punters on the national won't have any idea what an over-round is and will be back next year for a bet. The more savvy will have shopped around for better odds. I have no complaints, especially with the fantastic BET365 offer. gbettle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more savvy will have shopped around for better odds. I have no complaints, especially with the fantastic BET365 offer. I agree. Some of those offers are really good, so at least some bookies are at least 'giving back' to the average punter. Back in the day you were paid out 1/4 1-4 places. No enhancements, no bonuses andif you backed AP, there was no such thing as non runner no bet a week before the race. A lot of you guys over there in UK do not realize how lucky you are with the bookies. Because I am in a different jurisdiction, I am restricted and choice is limited. My main bookie NEVER has any bonuses or place enhancements and its like betting in the 80's with them. The National for example I got 1-4 1/4 Odds on race day and 1-5 1/4 odds on AP. Not 1 single race at Cheltenham or Aintree was I able to get anything other than Standard bookies odds and places. yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCLARKE Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yes I remember betting in the 80s and in hindsight it's no surprise that I lost money. On average these days I make about a 5% return so if I had to pay 10% tax I would be losing money. I agree, the bookmakers generally offer excellent value, even if you eventually get shut down there is still Betfair with 2% commission. gbettle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
