Yes, I'm a regular punter, of course I'll bet?
I do the Grand National every year, but nothing else
I haven't done it before, but I will this time
I have before, but I'll give it a miss this year...
I don't want to waste my money 
I used to bet a lot, but I've stopped (Edited by Zak, for Zak)
Is this weekend.
That's right, the single most biggest horse race of the year has come round again, meaning those of us unlucky enough to be in the bookmaking industry will have our hardest day's work since school exams.
The question is, are you a betting pro, putting on just another bet?
Or are you doing your one annual bet?
Or maybe you're putting it on for the first time?
(The poll is private, but feel free to post your answers too)
Never placed a bet in my life. I don't see the need to start now
my mate from school is doing a Sweepstake on it.. we all had to pick the horse from a bag..
i got favourite..
guess i've lost
JK: like my little thing under my name?
For the record, I'm not, I have 0 luck with racing, so I stopped
btw, haha Matty-H's user title
Will be heading over for sure. Might pop into liverpool on the friday as well, Always seems to be a nice night on ladies day
coo, 5K JK - way to go....Originally Posted by JK Ferret
... for the people who haven't heard through IRC, I won 5 grand through gambling on monday night, so this is my least feisty week in ages
re National, might put on a few pence...
Bet grand national every year like a religion. And i bet now and then when i go to race meets too.
Loads of fun
I put money on it every year and also try and get a sweep stake going
I never win though and usually my horse falls about 10 fences from the end even if its been winning to that point

When my brother and I were little we would watch the horse racing with my mum now and then. The criteria for picking horses was either best name or nicest looking colours. I write this from my £10 million mansion.

I've never placed a bet on a sporting event. But, I'm now thinking; why not?
Someone point me in the right direction on where I can place a bet? Oh, and if you can tell me who will be winning the race, that'd be handy too.
What is the Grand National?
The only time I've ever bet on a "sport" is when we went to the greyhound racing for a mate's stag night a few weeks ago. Most of us bet just £2 on each race
And of course, the guy picking the winners by ignoring the odds (and choosing the ones with the names he liked best) made the most money out of the entire group.
90% of my gambling is online poker, but I do sometimes bet on football, boxing or the nags.
Everyone has to bet on the Grand National, its the day set aside for people who don't normally bet to have a cheeky punt.
had my first bet only 2 weeks ago
Mate works in a bookies and nipped in to do a bet on the greyhounds.
He told me to pick 3 numbers from 1 to 6.
Sarcasically I say 4-5-6 ... and he did a 1 quid bet.
Lo and behold - 2 out of the 3 came in and gave me a couple of quid back.
used to bet from time to time on liverpool did quite well 2005 season betting on the champions league came out about £150 up. haven't bet since.
always used to do a tenner on one horse each way for the grand national always get good odds.
Well, betting shops are always a smart place to startI've never placed a bet on a sporting event. But, I'm now thinking; why not?

They'll have nice helpful staff too, if you go to the right ones
Um...What is the Grand National?
