RE: The gambling/betting thread - Thurnscoe_OWL - 10-04-2015
Anyone interested in the National tomorrow?
top tips from those in the business are Al Co (20/1) and Shutthefrontdoor (15/2)
I'm having (all each way):
- Al Co, 20/1 (won last years scottish national)
- Pineau De Re, 20/1 (last years winner)
- Oscar Time, 33/1 (placed twice in the national before but knocking on a bit at 14)
- Chance Du Roy, 40/1 (slight outsider but could be this years surprise)
- shutthefrontdoor 15/2 (favourite, ridden by AP McCoy in his last ever National before he retires)
- Godsmejudge, 20/1 (just like the name
)

The National used to be the only thing I ever put a bet on!! Never won much but always had a bet.

2 years ago everyone in my family won a few hundred when Aurora's encore won at 66/1. reason we all backed it was because my youngest sister had just been born a couple of months earlier and my mum called her Aurora

all my picks were chosen with inside help (ish, I looked on here Grand National runners and ignored most of the advice
) I looked through form, weights, weather for tomorrow, jockeys etc for most of them though

Far from an expert on horses but won Dolatulo in the SKY Poker Freeroll (get £500 if it wins & £300 if it places) plus a £5 free bet, which I have put on the horse (e/w) at 80/1.
I did that last year with the horse I won, Pineau De Re, which won at 28/1 so who knows, lightning might strike twice.
On a sensible note, got three out of four winners on Easter Monday including a big bet on Over 2.5 Goals on Brentford v Forest. My bets for today are:
Wednesday v Charlton - Under 10.5 Corners at 2.00 (Bet365)
Crewe v Leyton O - Under 2.5 Goals at 2.00 (Betfair)
Port Vale v MK Dons - Over 11.5 Corners at 1.80 (Bet365)
Wimbledon v Oxford - Under 10 Corners (Draw No Bet) a 1.925 (Bet365)
Southend v Tranmere - Over 11.5 Corners at 1.975 (Bet365)
Have a little more on the Southend match than the others.
The most profitable months are usually January, February & March but so far April has been good so I am continuing to bet at the same amount.
For a punt have backed no cards for Swansea v Everton at 20/1 (BWin).

Four out of five winners this week including the bigger bet at Southend.
I also got one out of four on my correct score bets with Bury's 2-0 win at 13/1 so more profit.

Should have made some money then.
Always happy to get 80% as winners.
Got enough for my summer holidays now so Florida it is.
RE: The gambling/betting thread - St Charles Owl - 12-04-2015
Why on earth are you wanting to go to Florida?? Hot and humid in the summer with lots of rain!!
