    Thanks as always @PeanutsMolloy

    Hope it’s the Caribbean cruise and not the Woolwich Ferry for Mrs Peanuts :-)

    I'll second that.

    Whatever happens tomorrow (and my shilling will be following him) this thread year after year just illustrates the passion, knowledge, insight and humour @PeanutsMolloy brings to the race.

    I salute you, Sir.

    Big Up to @PeanutsMolloy for his hard work and fingers crossed he is right.

    I think it's going to be a slow GN that will suit some of the slower, bigger priced, "sloggers".

    Cheers Gents. You're too kind.
    Bit of a weird hobby of mine this GN thing but always a pleasure to share a thread with so many genuine, savvy racing enthusiasts and so many fellow Addicks, always respectful of one another's opinions.
    Good luck everyone.

    Peanuts, let me add me thanks for your input in making this thread the best on Charltonlife by miles. Like others, I look forward to the annual event and the journey through to the big day. Such fun!

    Beeves out.....which means!

    THE MILL IS IN!!!!

    From your posts i have put £2.50 EW on this @ 66/1 thanks in advance :)
    He's 100/1 on Bet365 with the half stake back offer on EW bets.
    i haven't used bet365 for a while tbh , sorry bobbo although thats obviously a very good offer
    Cracking offer ;-)
    Once again, I'm grateful to Bet365 for permitting me a generous £0.50 ew at 100/1. Cheers.

    Yes but presumably they did give you 50p back? You can now have 25p EW on another horse. And then have 12p EW on another.

    In fact I'm sure that I saw a new slogan with you specifically in mind - "a pound on National day goes a long way with Bet 365!"

    Ha !
    Indeed it would - had they not also withdrawn offers from my account !

    Really appreciate this thread. @PeanutsMolloy , you must have to train those digits for weeks the amount of typing you do! It’s a fascinating chronicle of the intricacies of the most difficult jump race of the year.
    I always pick 2, and it’ll be Raz de Maree who ran well in bottomless ground at Cheltenham in Jan. Also Tiger Roll, who has the cross-country and soft ground combo. I will just get the bookie’s odds tomorrow. My son and daughter will pick theirs purely on the colours. The wife hates gambling.
    Good luck to all you backers tomorrow, especially those who really really take it as an art form!! (I won’t be able to watch as the cricket season starts tomorrow and I’ll be doing my best to concentrate on the umpiring).

    30 finishers? There is more chance of John McCririck riding the winner.

    That's the door shut now. Walk In The Mill sneaks in #40 by some miracle! Vintage Clouds the one to miss out by one.

    Not sure how they decided which of the two got in?!

    Both still rated 141 so would have been by a ballot on Thursday - shame for VC, could have been right up his street.
    I can think of a certain owner who will be far from happy!
    With Walk In The Mill now a N/R he will be positively fuming!

    Is there gonna be adjustment to the prices you have on other horses or the number of e/w places now reduced field.

    You would have already got £5 back immediately when you placed the bet as that’s the offer

    Makes me wonder what your thoughts are on things like the "virtual" Grand National? Lots of people writing the idea off as a nonsense but I'm not sure if they set the criteria/conditions right. They must use some sort of algorithm type process to come up with their predicted results, just with a fancy looking graphic to show off at the end.

    It was ridiculous. They predicted only six fallers.

    I guess but before he pulled out I had £10 total on him and had reinvested the other £5 in another = total £15. Now I have £5 refunded and £5 reinvested in another = £10.

    I have the bet amount I placed but have essentially not benefited from the offer and cannot cash out the reinvested money to do so.
