Muddying the waters with half truths benefits no-one and detracts from genuine awareness raising about concerns. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Back to work after a weekend at Aintree. Out the 7 races I scooped in 4 (£110, £130, £130, £147.50) all from £5 e/w bets. Didn't come close in the National. It's a long day, it's obviously heaving, you can get served no bother at all, the food is daft prices so you just don't eat (£8 for a sausage roll), the pints are £7 but you don't bat an eyelid. No phone signal, it's so easy to lose your group if you don't plan when you are going and where you will meet, we moved as a group to the betting and the bar, the drug taking is off the scale, you're on your feet from the second you get off the train until the second you arrive home. The National is actually the least enjoyable race for me, watching it praying the horses get round uninjured The other races aren't like that at all.

One of the guys in our group won £3,600 on one race. £100ew on a 25/1 shot. He'd won £600 on an earlier race and decided to go for it. If I don't hear another Liverpudlian voice for a few weeks I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
