Each year this is the one race that everybody has a bit of a punt on. Whether they nip to the bookies or do something via an office sweepstake this is one of the biggest betting events of the year. Bit of a lottery the national, but that doesn’t seem to stop people having a go each year. There are some hints and tips at https://www.grandnationalbettingtips.co.uk/, as well as an office sweepstake kit, so enjoy!
A lot of day to day racing on Betfair isn’t actually showing any growth year on year but some of the big meetings are showing good growth. In 2006 the amount of money matched at the off on the National was £5.2m, 2007 £6.5m and last year £9.3m!! Last year was also notable for the cock up with Betfair SP.
When the race got underway the SP wasn’t returned and then when it was, it did so with ‘Comple or Die’ returning a miserable 4.28, the worst SP from any bookmaker by far, most returned 7/1. Betfair decided to halt the settlement and resettle the market at a more ‘appropiate’ SP. They took the hit themselves in order to do this, we hope all goes smoothly today! My concern with Saturdays is that they don’t seem to be as stable as the weekdays so I hope Betfair’s servers are full on for the National.
