Grand National Aintree Festival 2018

[spreadbetting]

Any one have any figures on the bookies over-round at the national this year? Just interested to know...

It's not been run yet, but they usually bet to around 130%, sportinglife do a live show that should give you the current %

Money coming for Total Recall

I couldn't get filled so went to the place market.

Massive stakes on Baie des Iles at the end there.

What a finish

Nice looking chart for the winner Tigar Roll

Well done not many left on 100% and hopefully today may even of thinned out a few more for you.

I know someone who had already scalped a profit yesterday on the National then seen BF's flimsy T&C's this morning where bets have to be placed on the day of the race so had to get at least a scratch through this morning

TBH I'm not 100% sure how to interpret that part, he just didn't want to take any chances

The Bookies SP returned at a generous 152.82% compared to Betfair's 102.32%, come racing, Betfair's place book was underround at 381%

I've known far worse than 152.8% for bookies. The place underround is to some extent mitigated by the fact that there may not be four finishers.

This isn't some 4 runner novice chase , Derek, I don't think you'll find people throwing away 20% of the book on the chance 37 runners fail to complete the course:)

I said to some extent!

The amount of money available to back would also be significant. The overround is often distorted by £2 bets.
