Check out the spread markets for this year’s Grand National

A preview from our friends at spread betting firm Extrabet.com

“There will be more bets struck on Grand National day than strawberries eaten in South East England over the entire English summer. No there won’t- but it is April Fools week! There will however be a lot! Bearing in mind it’s the most competitive event in the racing calendar, run over four and a half miles with 30 fences to negotiate and loose horses all over the place to avoid, some folk just seem to have the knack of finding the winner.

If you’re not one of these lucky folk there is another way. Extrabet.com have gone up with a host of spread special markets on the race including the winning length of the race (priced at 7.5-8.5 lengths) the starting price of the winner (19-20) and the total number of race finishers (15.5-16.5). If you win any cash on these markets you might want to put the funds in your Offshore Account which incidentally is a big price at on the fixed-odds at 33-1 with extrabet.com to win the race.”
