Grand National Betting

The Grand National is the most popular betting race of the year and everyone enjoys having a bet on it whether they follow horse racing week in week out or if they bet just once a year.
The betting regulars will be able to sift through the form to come up with their selections but those not familiar with the form will want to find another way to pick their bets. Fortunately, with so many runners there are thousands of different ways to pick a bet.
Whether you are going to pick a name you like or use the form trends below, we hope that you can find the winner and that it is a nice price.
Once you have found your Grand National Winner then please follow our guide to placing a bet on the Grand National and don't forget to claim a Grand National Free Bet.

Pick The Grand National Winner by Its Name!

Each year thousands of people will pick a horse with a name they like in a bid to find the Grand National Winner. It might sound as though it won't be successful but it can often work!!
With relatively recent winners such as Monty's Pass and Bobbyjo, there will be plenty of Montys, Bobbys and Joes who were celebrating after winning on those. Red Marauder in 2001 will have made red heads happy whilst athletes who had a bet in 1995 may have been celebrating after Royal Athlete won at 40/1.
Take a look down the list on the right of this page to see if you share your name with any of the up and coming Grand National Runners or to see if their names have something in common with yourself. Maybe a friend, relative or loved ones name can help you pick a Grand National Winner!!

Grand National Winner Trends

Recent winners of the Grand Nationalhave had very similar profiles. Each of the last ten winners had won a chase worth more than £17,000 in prize money, had run in at least 10 chases, had won over a distance of 3 miles or further, were aged 8-12 and carried a weight of 11st1lb or less so take note.
Most recent winners of the Grand Nationalhad experience over the fences and had also run well in either the Scottish, Welsh or Irish Nationals.
It's more than likely that one of the horses who fit these trends will be the next Grand National Winner. Take your pick or back several, they should give you a good run for your money and hopefully the winner!

Back the Grand National Winner By Its Odds

In recent years there have been some big priced Grand National Winners, not least the 100/1 winner of the 2009 Grand National, Mon Mome.
There have also been two 33/1 winners of the Grand Nationalin the last decade so backing a few big priced runners could be the way to go. If you back them each way you will be getting at least four places so you have even more chances of winning in the Grand National.
