Topic: Grand National - Sweepstake?

Has anyone got any tips to share for the "Crabbies" Grand National?

Or maybe we should do a sweepstake here?

Forget about form or the going for total wry amusement, how about straight pool's 'LONG RUN' it even has odds at the moment of '14-1' (I know very X-Files) I'm just rotating this in my head right now and it has to be a sure banker

Rocky creek is my tip at 20/1 or 25/1 ish

Come on pool players, where are your tips?

I only pick by the names, or sometimes by the jockey as the big names seem to get top picks, but the two with remotely pool themed names are...

HUNT BALL at 66/1

and...

THE PACKAGE at 25/1

Don't shoot me if they've only got three legs, I've only chosen by the name!



Good luck today everyone!

Double seven for me

Top six finishers in the National

    1st - Pineau De Re (25-1)
    2nd - Balthazar King (14-1)
    3rd - Double Seven (10-1 joint favourite)
    4th - Alvarado (33-1)
    5th - Rocky Creek (16-1)
    6th - Chance Du Roy (33-1)

Had 2nd and 5th, took loads of bets for the winner though, well done if you picked it
