So, my favourite sporting event ever is coming soon - the Grand National is at the start of April and I can’t wait for it, because every single year since I was 5 years old I’ve won money betting on it. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t personally walk into Ladbrokes and put a bet on when I was 5 - my grandad did it for me. I had the best way of picking out a winner and it still works for me now, even if it’s maybe not the best way to do it.
What did I do? I picked the jockey with the best jumper! Green with red stripes, black with orange dots…whatever jumper jumped out at me from the back of the paper I chose that horse and my grandad would go and place a bet on that horse for me. If I couldn’t find a jumper that I liked I just picked out the horse with the coolest name - who remembers “Earth Summit” and “Monty’s Pass”?
This year however, I think I might try a better way of choosing a winner.
Red Rum, the most famous Grand National winner in the history of the race, will pick out a horse for you to place a bet on. He’s even offering a free £25 bet!
If a dead horse, picking colours or names isn’t how you’d like to pick a winner for the race then you can try the Grand National tips page, where they are touting “Butler’s Cabin” to win this years race…since he won the Irish Grand National. The odds on “Butler’s Cabin” are currently sitting at 14/1.
I think I’m going to go with ol’ Red Rum’s tip though - “Snowy Morning” at 12/1.
