Grand National

[Danny]

Do you bet on a horse during the Grand National? Perhaps your parents do one for you if you aren't old enough. I always do a couple.

[Martin]

Yep! Only time each year I bet on horses!

I always get super sad when one dies/gets injured though

[David]

i do if i remember.

someone will one-up you and say the horse they bet on died, and they probably haven't bet since.

[Danny]

I hate it when a horse dies, I think the last two years there haven't been any though!

[j0rd]

[Red]

no but im gonna this year.
some1 tell me who to pick. I know nothing about betting.

The funny thing about the Grand National is a lot of the time, it's not the favourites who wins. Last year Pineau De Ru? or something like that was 66/1 and they actually won. I need to see the list of runners on the day before I choose. I always do a couple each year, though I am yet to win.

[Kardan]

No, it's a waste of money I find. If I'm going to bet on something I'm going to bet on something I actually know about and something that has a decent chance of happening.

Heard the helicopters flying overhead all today for it.

[James]

This is the first year I'm old enough to bet on them, so might this year.
I usually just pick the one with the funniest name when I have a competition with my family to see if "our horse" wins.

We don't actually watch it though, we just look up the winners.
