Virtual Grand National

[joemcdokes]

They’ve done it the last few year I think. Surprisingly no horses die in the virtual one.

Mine will probably fall at the first, although one year I did back the Grand National winner, the Scottish Grand National winner and the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner.
I'd never even had a place in the National since I was a kid up till then.

They have done it the last two years the day before the national. Sure Tiger Roll won it In virtual them actually won it.

Miss the racing. Been watching American racing but it’s shit.

Twenty f***ing five to one
Me gambling days are done
I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke
And my horse won

looks like its the way forward for me like, no cruelty involved , no horses killed

 

[Pacific]

bookies taking bets on this tomorrow with any profits they make going to NHS charities

anyone having a dabble?

 

[Martin F]

This ones different. It’s not a televised race. It’s a computer simulation. No one really knows which horse will win until they run the programme.

Reetio.

I cant see this anywhere on Skybet.

Backed Magic of Light and Definitely Red. Desperate times when you’re looking forward to a virtual race.

 

[Man About Town]

Fuck I used to have one of those. the bairns would look at you as if you'd gave them a shit with sugar on sarnie if you gave them one of them now.

Used to have one in the late 70's, to be fair it was utter shite and put me off horse racing for life so job done.

 

[townieftm]

Limited the stakes to £10 the bastards

 

[SAFCTEES]

Surely they shouldn’t have a market for this? The tv companies know who is going to win?

TV do, but not the bookies. At least according to bet365 statement anyway. Virtual racing has been a thing for a while, just not in the public eye as much as it will be today.
