O/t - Aintree day one selections

[Elite_Pie]

Right, for clarity this is meant as a bit of fun for anyone who is interested and nothing more. If you follow my selections and back all of my 21 tips at SP over the 3 days the chances are you'll lose. If you follow my real advice and take advantage of the many offers the bookies are making you could still lose but you'll lose much less, and you have a decent chance of making a profit. As an example, skybet are offering £40 in free bets to anyone opening a new account and placing a single bet of £10. That means that if you bet a tenner on one event (any sport) they then give you four other £10 bets free of charge. So you get five £10 bets and your only risk is your initial £10 stake, there is no obligation to risk any more. There are T&Cs (nothing nasty) so make sure you understand them. You need to be aware that as 'free bets' they don't include a £10 stake because you aren't actually staking any real money, so a tenner on a 5/1 winner will return £50 rather than the £60 you would get if you used real cash. Anyway here are my thoughts:

1:45 Cyrname - Brain Power is possibly the form choice, but his Cheltenham race could have left a mark. I don't like deserting Finian's Oscar, but his jumping has let him down too often.
2:20 Apple's Shakira - she let me down at Cheltenham, but is given a chance to make amends.
2:50 Bristol De Mai - tricky race which form suggests should go to Might Bite, but he had a hard race in the Gold Cup so Bristol De Mai is given a chance to prove his Betfair Chase win was no fluke.
3:25 My Tent Or Yours - at the veteran stage but usually goes well here and looks better value than favourite Supasundae.
4:05 Unioniste - knows his way around here and looks each way value.
4:40 Theinval - ran well at Cheltenham and could improve on his second last year. Overtown Express could be a danger.
5:15 Getaway Katie Mai - it's hard to ignore Irish bumper form and her second to Relegation looks strong.

My other advice would be to get on early with best price guarantee. Most of my bets will be placed tonight.

Skybet says no betting from abroad.....any ideas on where I can access another company offering free bets?....if so, I will give it a go

Was the bit where I said this post is "a bit of fun for anyone who is interested" too difficult for your brain cell to comprehend?

You might be out of luck. If you look on oddschecker.com at any market there are several sign up offers above the name of the bookie, but it seems most of them are limited to UK and ROI customers only. Bet365 are offering to match bets with free bets up to £100 once you deposit £5, but this is for new customers only and I suspect from some of your previous posts that you already have an account with them. I suppose the only way to find out is to check the small print on each one.
