Do the bookies on the course make a lot of money?

66/1 national winner with a 28/1, a 22/1 and a 20/1 all at Aintree today.... they've had a bonanza on course today and won tens of millions throughout the country. An estimated £150 million laid on the GN alone...and I'd have a decent bet they haven't paid out 10% of that.

I won my money back because they gave me a free £25 bet as well. Still need to go back to work!

No, you didn't win it back, they gave it to you to encourage you to bet again.

If you're canny, these gambling sites are quite easy to make money out of.
