Grand National Betting : Paddy Power Offers A Series Of Specials On The Big Race

The Grand National is the one occasion when the nation is united in its enjoyment of a flutter. Offices throughout the land will be conducting sweepstakes,haphazard fingers will blindly guide family members, old and young alike, to the 'definite winner' in the newspaper columns and nails will be chewed and eyes covered as one of the toughest races to watch and predict unfolds it's drama on the TV screen. Paddy Power aware of this opportunity to cash in on the volume of bets if not the size of bets - notoriously once a year punters are not known for 'lumping on'- is offering a range of specials on the big race.

Betting on the Grand National is a gamble in the real sense of the word, the length of course, height of the fences and numbers of horses partaking all adds up to the possibility of it being anyone's race in theory, which is probably why it is such compelling viewing. Historically the race has had its share of drama before it has even begun, the most notorious occasion being when the whole event was abandoned through an IRA bombscare in 1997 but at odds of 5/6 you can have a punt on there being one or more false starts which seems entirely possible given the logistics of starting 40 adrenaline charged thoroughbreds.

For those a little more attuned to the world of racing, 9/4 says the winner will be trained in Ireland and 3/1 that there will be no fallers at the first fence. Whilst these markets seem rather more predictable than the winning market this is not a race that has ever thrown up any real patterns so it is still a pretty unpredictable bet.

As if to further emphasize the challenge that is presented to horse, jockey and punter Paddy Power has a book on which of the top Jockeys will do best as opposed to which top jockey will win. Ruby Walsh is favourite at 6/4 but there is sure to be a groundswell of opinion that Champion Jockey A P McCoy must surely finally have his day and win the one that has always evaded him. The 5/1 price offered on him is sure to shorten as the day approaches but that is clearly no indication of his likely success.

Crystal Balls at the ready, although 7/1 that Paul Nicholls will be the winner is sure to attract a small family flutter in Ditcheat!
