I'm just a bit clueless, I've always been a bit scared of EW in case I mess it up. I've been having a look and I don't think the odds are on BF yet and I don't know how to make sure I lay off the right bet.
E/W can be a bit of a challenge. I personally lay off the win odds and let the place bet ride (as this is effectively a free bet). The lay odds for the E/W part are usually rubbish (as some bookies pay 1/4 odds this keeps the lay odds high and you are only getting 1/5 odds @ B365, and they also don't start to come down until near the off and this can be a bit of a panic).

You can lay off as two separate bets if you want to lock in some profit. Remember that 1/5 applies to the fractional odds. So a horse @ 11.0 is actually 10/1 so the place odds are 2/1 or 3.0

MISERABLE conditions at Aintree today

Can't believe that dead heat got overturned by the stewards enquiry!

Jockey that was 'interfered with' says it didn't effect the outcome, but they still overturn it anyway!!! I am a few quid up, but would have been ok with the dead heat.

The wife has put her money on Number 1 Rachael Blackmore (Minella Times) and I've gone with Number 29 Mighty Thunder whose odds have been shortening quite a bit today!

Only 4 winners in the last 20 years have won the Grand National as favourites which means 16 of the winners have been outsiders!

The Virtual Grand National has it as Snow Leopardess, Any Second Now, Delta Work, Minella Times, Mighty Thunder, and Mount Ida in that order. Usually the winner comes from the first 5 they have, and they usually have 3 of the first 6 in there somewhere.

Good luck with your Grand National bets today everyone.

See if you can spot any Matched Bettors at Aintree - they will be the people cheering their horse on to come 6th!

indeed.

Who's paying right down to 8th then?
Betfred were yesterday and reverted to 6 places today. Odds were not as good as the 6 places odds unfortunately but in the National those places can be at good (i.e long) odds. Edit - I heard a rumour that Virgin bet are paying 8 places and I have checked and they are. Odds are not the best but are comparable with Skybet (who are paying 7 places)

I don't understand how they don't have a BING BONG stewards inquiry on that last race as the winning horse clearly cut off the 2nd place one!
