    No. NEVER EVER EVER again.

    You remember a few years ago when loads of fell at the first jump ?

    Well near to the end of the race there were only 4 horses left and i had £20 each way bets on 2 of the four and both horses fucking fell on the last straight. All they had to do was finish and i'd of won £1500+

    I've got a wedding so won't be able to see the actual race, but hoping I can get home without anyone telling me who won so I can watch it on iPlayer :yes:

    I got State of Play in the sweepstake. It's about 8-1 at the bookies, fingers crossed!

    I did a sweepstake at work too, and got Flintoff and one that's something to do with pushing, which everyone found hilarious considering my relatively up-duffed state.

    I've got a fiver each on Character Building, Irish Raptor, and Conna Castle.

    I wouldn't worry about the 'scary old men' in the bookies. I work in a bookies and most of them are alright actually. That said, I had a bet online. Partly because I couldn't be arsed to walk to a bookies, partly because I'm not allowed to bet where I work, and partly because I know how bloody crowded it's going to be!
