What to Bet On - Grand National 2008

Place These 5 Bets To Enjoy The NationalJust as you sit down to enjoy the big race, you hear that your horse has fallen at the first fence! What an anti climax!
It makes sense to have a few bets to spread your risk around and give you a good interest until the end of the race. This is what to do...
FIRST PICK A LIKELY WINNER
Bet 1 - Your Win BetOnly pays out if the horse wins but can pay handsomely. You want a horse with good stamina and not too much weight otherwise they could fade at the end of the race. Its very rare for a winner to be over 20/1 in price.
Try one of these

| Cloudy Lane at 33-1 with VC Bet |
McKelvey will not be running
THEN PICK SOME AT BIG PRICES WITH A GOOD CHANCE
Bets 2 and 3 - Your Each Way BetsWith these you get a return if your horse finishes in the first four. We recommend picking 2 horses to back each way to go along with your win bet.
Pick two of these
Dargent will not be running
point barrow will not be running
Vodka Bleu will not be running
kelami will not be running
NOW CHOOSE A 4th BET TO GUARANTEE AN INTEREST RIGHT UNTIL THE END OF THE RACE
Bet on The Number of FinishersWith this bet you are sure to have an interest right up until the last horse has crossed the line.
Here you are betting on how many horses make it round the entire course and cross the finish line at the end of the race.
The following odds are from SkyBet
9/2 10 or less finishers - 6 finished in '98 in heavy going
9/4 11-15 (incl) this bet would have won the last four times the going has been good
2/1 16-20 (incl) this bet would have won in 96,97,99 and 2000
7/2 21-25 (incl) - there were 21 finishers in 2005
13/2 26 or over - unlikely as the highest number of finishers stands at 23
We think the best bet is on 11-15 finsihers. Check the latest odds and place your bet at SkyBet
Bet On The Winning DistanceAnother bet to guarantee that you will be on the edge of your seat at the end of the race.
Here you are betting how far the first horse home beats the second horse by. Measured in lengths of a horse!
Paddy Power have prices available for this market. The correct winning distance was 3/4 length in 2007.
The following odds are from Paddy Power
5/4 Up to and including 5 lengths - 2007 winning distance was 0.75
7/2 Over 6-7 lengths - it was 6 lengths in 2006
11/8 8 lengths or more - this happened in 97,98,01,03 and 05.
In recent runnings when the ground has been good or firmer there have been some close finishes. But this year with the likely going to be on the softer side of good we suggest a bigger winning margin. Back the winning distance to be 3-10 lengths.
NOW FOR A BET TO MAKE YOU RICH!! GO FOR THE BIG WIN WITH YOUR 5th BET!
A Forecast BetIf picking the winner wasnt hard enough, picking the 1st and second in the correct order is that bit harder. However the payouts can be 100s if not 1000s of pounds so a small stake for fun can be worth ago.
Pick one of your each way bets to finish second to your win bet.
Place this bet now with SkyBet
A Tricast BetThis is where you predict the first three in the correct order. You probably have slightly more chance of landing this than winning the national lottery! It could pay a lot of money.
Pick your each way bets to finish second and third to your win bet.
