Maybe you should let your wives bet more often :)

I’ve not done betting on virtual horse racing before and have to say I’m not going to start. It was never going to be possible to recreate atmosphere, but I thought everything about the coverage was very...flat.

Surely, the expert tipsters shouldve been all over the winner

They are, presunably, working on past performance and thus predicting the winner based on that

Just like the computer does 

Based on the stats/data I have access to, the winner did indeed have a very strong chance, but his jumping often leaves a little to be desired and Aintree in no place for jumping errors.

My gripe about the coverage etc was that they could have tried to show more close-up pictures.

But it was what it was, I suppose ; a tea-time cartoon.

Fantastic, but I expected both numbers to be higher, if I'm honest

Don’t forget the 2.6mill is just the profit on the book. Could be that the winner was well backed and was a decent price so could have taken a good chunk out the satchels

If it was open to people without online accounts would have been much bigger. But your once a year punter doesn’t have one in most cases eh 

D'oh!

Of course. No bookie shops are open. I somehow overlooked that in my calculations.
