Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

[enaid]

What are you backing and why?

and please no anti racing comments and such, this is purely for fun, as today is the only day thousands will have a one off bet. It is also the 1st day in 9 years I will be at home to watch it, we were not allowed National day off when I worked at the bookies.

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

you may as well stick a pin in and hope for the best, I do though fancy simon, oi not a bloke it's a horse in the national. Main reason is my son is called Simon, I got odds of 18-1 on betfair so if it wins I am taking up drinking for tonight.

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

Backbeat 100/1 - daughter no 1
Snowy morning 20/1 - daughter no 2
Chelsea Harbour 14/1 - son
Bewleys Berry 14/1 - me
Hedgehunter 16/1 - me though I might change to Mr Pointment at 20/1 - haven't decided yet - will decide in the bookies

oh reasons - kids cause they like the names, BB cause I bet on him last year and he fell after going bloody well, Hedgehunter cause Ruby Walsh is riding again, and Mr Pointment cause hes a P F Nicholls trained beastie. Shame Ruby isn't riding Mr Pointment really.

and thats my fiver spent lol.








Happy - Andrew Thornton was meant to be riding Simon but broke his collar bone a few weeks ago - dunno if that affects your choice. lol.

Wish I could get some dosh in my betfair account then I could have a marvellous 5 mins panicing laying off on all my bets (actually its a really REALLY good thing I don't have any money in it but I do rather crave the adrenaline )

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

That third bet went to Cornish Sett
I have had some novelty bets, so please let there be 2 fallers in the race at the first!!

[TUTTSI]

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

I have been given a hot tip for VODKA BLEU so have bet it eachway at 50/1

[Nattie]

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

I was given another massive tip, SAVE MONEY AND DON'T BET. I ignored it because I thought the person who gave it to me was tight

[Amethyst]

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

So 50p each way (yawn)

Re: Having a Flutter? whats your fancy?

okay I have

Hedgehunter ... because i always back him plus that Ruby guy is the jockey
Slim pickings... because I fancied it.
