As you know this site is all about the 2011 grand national, but what about the 2010 Grand National? Don’t worry our sister site has that totally covered! www.grand-national2010.co.uk was built to give you all the latest news for the up coming race.

So what’s covered by the site? As you’d expect they have all the runners listed, along with tips, odds and a brief history of the great race. The site doesn’t go into in depth analysis of each horse, most people just want the horses name and odds! Few can be bothered reading time form and scientifically try to pick a winner, lets face this race is all about having a £5 each way bet, sitting back and having some fun.

The Bet Calculator is set up by default to work out winnings for standard single UK bets. For example: if you’ve placed a £5 bet on a horse to win the Grand National at odds of 16/1, just enter 5 into the “Your Stake” box then enter 16 in the “Bet 1″ box and 1 in the next box along, after the / symbol. Then just click the green “Calculate” button to work out the winnings you should get back from the bookies. Our calculator only accepts whole numbers and will round up or down to the nearest £1.

If you’ve bet you horse each way then make sure you click the small “Each Way” square button next the stake box.

The calculator can also work out multiple selection bets such as “Doubles” and “Triples”. To do this just enter the odds of the other horses and remember to click the small “Double” or “Triple” round buttons. You can also enter odds in the European/American style (11.00) by clicking on the “decimal” button.
