I organised the sweep at work yesterday, and won F all!

One of the guys in our office said he was going to put a couple of quid on each of the long-shots as a 'you never know' thing, I bet he's minted now!

my dad won 170 odd quid on the winner. he put it on cos it was 100-1! Jammy git.
He also put money on number 8 which led a good deal of the way but fell with four fences to go.

Talking Re: Grand National

I put £1 each way on Cerium at 500/1. Sky Bet did an offer where they pay out on the top 5.

Only bloomin finished 5th, £125 SHould go nicely towards a new end can

Got 3rd as well but that only paid £2.75
