Cheers, Grey, but that was my LONG list. I didn't back them all but I probably did back 10 because I usually do but at the prices I tend to take/get I usually do make a profit when one wins. Sometimes, as in Tiger Roll's second win (at just 4/1), I have just enough on to cover all the bets. In a race like the National sometimes I'm happy to lay out a fair spread of money and settle for not losing much at all. That's part of the fun for me.

As you say, you've seen how I bet. On a Saturday big race I'll have a main bet, a saver and two or three longshots. Sometimes it's just one of the longshots that gets a place and saves me a loss but sometimes I lose completely. I've been doing it for many years and am happy with it.
