Any tips for the Grand National (other than "don't bet - it's a mugs game!")?
I'll probably be putting two quid each on four horses chosen by me, the wife, and the kids - but we just go for names or colours we like, as none of us knows anything about horse racing.
(Usually go £2 on the nose if it's under about 20/1 and £1 e/w over about 20/1)
Can't be arsed with all those offers of free bets if you open internet accounts. I'm a compulsive sort, and don't want to run the risk of becoming an addict by making betting easier. I prefer to stop off at the bookies two or three times a year on the way to do the "big shop" on a Saturday.
