As happy as I was to see Paul Nicholls train his first winner (especially with my £5 e/w on it's back), the death of Synchronised did cast a shadow over the day for me. As a jockey, Jonjo O'Neil came to Aintree with Alverton who was that year's Gold Cup winner (1980 IIRC) and went off favourite only to fall to his death at Bechers and now the very same thing has happened to him as a trainer. A tragedy for the horse and for Jonjo, who was one of my favourite jockeys and has proved to be a great trainer too.hammerdivone wrote:Terrible news about Synchronided an According to Peter

Re: Official Betting Thread
Ok , this is my Grand National story .
I used to bet every Saturday before I moved to Skye , and because the nearest bookie was over a 100 miles away , I decided to give it up , then after I got my ferry redundancy I opened a William Hill account , then as I never won anything , I didn't have a bet for another 16 years until last year . That horse fell at the second fence .
Yesterday , I ummed and aahd until 4pm , then I told my Mrs I was going to have a bet . The telephone bet wouldn't work as it was too busy , so I went online , but had to open a new account as last year my Mrs had used our credit card !!
So , it's gone 4.10pm and I'm looking for my cheque book to get the sorting code for the new account , tick tick tick , false start , still haven't got my bet on , and finally press the button , but the bloody thing still whirls round and round.......
They're off !! The bloody computer is still whirling round , I say ' Sod it , it'll probably lose anyway !! ' .
I watch the race , but I don't know anything about my horse , only it's name . It's not mentioned until after a few fences , all I know is it hasn't fallen . A lot of my other choices have , but I haven't put any money on them , thankfully .
Then , with 2 fences to jump , I figure out who my horse is , it's white , and white horses never win the National , well not since 1962 .
It's lying 3rd of 3 , a good enough position , and it jumps the last fence in 2nd and now I'm thinking ' **** , it might win and I didn't get a bet on ! '
It crosses the line together with another horse , it looks like a dead heat .
I run upstairs to tell my Mrs , ' If that bet has gone through , we might have won £340 !!! , but the result isn't through yet !!! '
We go downstairs , and the bloody thing's won , my Mrs checks the computer , and she says ' According to this , your bet has gone through , it says print your betting slip ' .
I start jumping up and down laughing like a lunatic .
I've won the Grand National , my first winner since over 25 years , and my biggest ever win .
How do I claim my money , does anyone know ?

Does that make sense? I know nowt whatsoever about it, so I'm not sure whether that made any sense or not. Good luck, anyway

Re: Official Betting Thread
I don't know, no. BUT. The missus has just looked into it for you, and she seems to think it's a bit like PayPal, in that you have your bank account which you take money out of and put into your William Hill account to use for betting and such, and if you've won, William Hill will dump that money into your William Hill account, which you can then withdraw into your regular bank account. If you click on "my account" apparently there's an option to withdraw any monies that are in there.The Old Man of Storr wrote: How do I claim my money , does anyone know ?

Just as LC says
login to your online account, click on My Account it will say withdraw money. Ive got Betfair and PP and they both take a couple of days to hit up in your bank account
Well done

Re: Official Betting Thread
If you used a credit card to deposit then you will need to check that the credit card company will accept back the money if you don't have sufficient credit avaliable on the card, I.e if you have a £2000 limit and have only used £50 of it some companies may get funny if you have got £290 over your limit as it's not their money.The Old Man of Storr wrote:Dear Last Caress , your avatar always makes me think of my death and who it is I will share my last caress with

Secondly as soon as your credit card bill comes in make sure you pay off the William hill transaction because credit card companies treat bookies transactions like cash withdrawals and sting you on the interest

Good weekend with the man utd/Chelsea double and rooney first goalscorer.
Wigan are due a drubbing, Arsenal -1 for sure tonight.

For the most minor of interests i have FGS
Figuerora - 111/1
Alcaraz - 75/1
McCarthy - 24/1
Rodallega - 15/1
I'm sure the bet will be over in 10 minutes but as those odds it's worth a couple of quid!

Was also thinking about rvp and 4-0 but couldn't be bothered to do itDenzil wrote:I've backed Arsenal tonight.
RVP 4-0 22/1
Arsenal win 3-0 10/1
Arsenal win 3-1 12/1
Arsenal win 4-1 16/1
Also wanted to do rvp hat-trick but the odds were awful ranged from 5/2 to a maximum of 10/1
Disgraceful odds by most bookies
Re: Official Betting Thread
he's only 66/1 on bet365. Big difference. Not a bad random shout i guess.hiphophammer wrote:For the most minor of interests i have FGS

The bookies all expect Arsenal to give Wigan a roasting, and it's hard to disagree.
But yeah, odds on Van Persie and big Arsenal win's are ****. RVP to score first and Arsenal to win 4-0 only 20/1. Pathetic odds

Paddy Power put up the same offer again earlier. Jumped on Arsenal @ Evens!
