MCLARKE Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I very much doubt it. Personally I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. BBBC, LEE-GRAYS, Nigwilliam and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darran Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Virtual racing is just a random number draw disguised as a horse race. It is no different from the lottery. MCLARKE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCLARKE Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 At least with the lottery you sometimes get a rollover which might make it worthwile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid they were tuppence a go. You can still do 2p bets at bet365. You'd become equally rich. Wanderlust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossa6133 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I was in the bookies the other day and they had a Grand National with past winners of the race, I was wondering if it was an actual simulation (small random change of falling at each fence for example) or just predetermined. Rough Quest came 3rd, Red Rum unplaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red paid I think Evens and the White one ( which never won if anybody backed it) was around 10/1. They also had Blue, Yellow and Green I think. Total fix, but entertaining.

The ones I remember were either pre decimal or 1p or 2p,(can't fully remember) And they did not look as grand as that one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played on of these once and the red horse only came back about half way down the field so it had a massive start each time. It won almost every race. I won about 70p in 2ps before I got bored. gbettle and Wanderlust 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough Quest came 3rd, Red Rum unplaced. It is done by the same company that do the ITV4 version and the one that replaced the real one last year. When they do those they are based on real life events to help make it as realistic as a result as possible, but the versions shown in the bookies are just like any other virtual and are just a random number draw. The one thing I will say though is it does make it more exciting when you are talking about the likes of Red Rum and Crisp compared to some random virtual horse name. yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
