That sucks when it happens, its like the Virtual Super 15 tipping comp this past weekend, 128 people got everything right. I guess someone must have put a fiver on their tips, the TAB paid out $53,857 on a $5 bet on the correct tips.

Grand National 2011 Result:

1st Ballabriggs
2nd Oscar Time
3rd Don't Push It
4th State of Play
5th Niche Market

We had 8 people pick the winner. In somewhat of a dubious method of picking the top few favorites, 7 of them picked the winner as their 3rd pick overall . Congrats to Tegal for picking 1st and 2nd, and 20 legend for getting 3 of the top 5 horses correct.

As a group we managed to get all the top 5. Almost everyone who posted got one correct, apart from TopLeft07 and CboZ.

Two horses died as well. Exactly why i refused to even virtual tip on such a shameful and barbaric sport. Stick to proper sports in here from now on please.

Good on you for your stand. Although I did tip, I wholeheartedly agree with your point, and you have made me feel slightly guilty for not thinking to do the same.

What happened -

Oh I see. Can't always win. Probably why I didn't get the $34 million either.

Just saw that on the news which made me come here... how often does this happen? Five in 2009, and 4 in 2010.

What disgusting race.20 legend2011-04-10 22:36:20
