Bet72 Grand National Competition
Posted on April 2, 2009 by Darren Hall
The great bet72.com Grand National competition is now up and running.
Simply select the four horses you think are going to finish ahead of the rest (in any order), add their numbers up (as listed below) and email your answer to info@bet72.com with the phase, “My word Darren you are very generous chap, I am going to tell everyone I know, that I meet in the street, that I see in the pub etc….about the fantastic bet72.com” in the subject line or just “Grand National Comp” will do!
The winners will be the nearest 5 (yes 5 top prizes in this baby) whose totals are closest to the total of the official result of the race.
In the event of a tie then the winner will be drawn at random from the matching entries.
All numbering to be used pre and post race is as listed at bet72.com (and nowhere else!).
Entries close at 4:10 on Saturday 4th April 2009.
So for example if you pick the first four as:
My Will (our number 11)
Comply or Die (our number 5)
Butler’s Cabin (our number 17)
L’ami (our number 23)
That is 11+5+17+23 = 56 (click here is you need any help, only joking!!)
The final decision is bet72’s, full stop. We will send the boys round if you are not happy etc…etc….
Just a bit of fun and some excellent prizes, a great big thank you to all our sponsors:

I take it if anybody was on yesterday’s 100-1 winner they will still be out partying, certainly not me, but well done if you made anything from the race. All my profits on the race were risk free but hey, that’s how I like them, sit back and watch the race knowing you have a few quid coming whatever!
Anyway just to confirm the full result of the 2009 Grand National:
1st – Number 15 Mon Mome (FR)
2nd – Number 5 Comply Or Die (IRE)
3rd – Number 11 My Will (FR)
4th – Number 13 State of Play
Giving a total of 44, from which we had to do 2 random draws (made by my glamorous assistant Mrs Bet72), one for the winner as we had two people who were spot on and the for 3rd / 4th place as 2 people were just one anyway, excellent stuff.
So after all that our winners are:
44 – Roger Taylor – 1st Prize – £100 free bet from Paddypower
44 – Peter Vaughan – 2nd Prize – Free subscription to Secret Betting Club (worth £69)
43 – Mick Wardale – 3rd Prize – Three Month Subscription to BetTraderPro from Racing Traders (worth £50)
45 – Luke Hooper – 4th Prize – One Month Subscription to BetTraderPro from Racing Traders(worth £25)
42 – Mark Mcerlean – 5th Prize – 2000 minutes for BetTraderPro software from Racing Traders(worth £20)
Well done chaps your prizes are being sorted and I will be in touch with all the details asap.
Thanks again to everyone who entered and our sponsors too for all your continuing support of bet72.com
