A bet on the 2021 Grand National is almost mandatory. The apex of steeplechase racing, it has long been traditional flutter fodder. So it’s part of the fabric of the UK. Odds on the 2021 Grand National are front and center on all the online sportsbook sites in the UK like Bet365. Everyone wants in on the action. Especially after a stunning win in the Irish Grand National. Freewheelin Dylan rocked home at 150/1 and gave all those longshots down the field at Aintree hope. 

Freewheelin Dylan made history and the bookies go quite pale. It won the Irish Grand National despite bookies pricing it longer than a wet Sunday afternoon. 150/1 winners are the stuff of nightmares for the likes of Bet365. For flutter fans looking for an interesting bet on the 2021 Grand National it’s the stuff of dreams. Sure, you could look into the form, compare the weights, look at the going. Go ahead. But, if 150/1 shots can win, why not just select by best name?

If the experts at the bookmakers price a winner so long they must not know quite as much as we think. Sure, they’ve done their homework. However, apparently, that doesn’t always matter. So why waste time replicating their effort for what could be little reward? In essence, your bet on the 2021 Grand National doesn’t require that much energy. If 150/1 shots can win, anyone can. That Irish Grand National win makes a traditional bet on sports in the UK just that little bit better.

At the bottom of the odds pile there are longshots like Monbeg Notorious and Flying Angel. They both get 125/1 at Bet365 and may now tempt some punters. Perhaps those for whom the names hold some coincidental significance. A lot of people will bet on the 2021 Grand National using that criteria. With such a massive field, forty runners let us remember, there’s typically something in there somewhere which will mean something to you. Just look at the range of 100/1 shots.

Does Ami Desbois mean something to you? Were you ever a Cabaret Queen? Are you religious? Hear No Evil might be for you.

Tiger Roll Pulls Out Of Grand National Over Weights

Of course, whilst all us punters hope for a repeat of that historic 150/1 winner, some history can’t return. Tiger Roll, for instance, winner of the last two Grand Nationals, won’t run. The owners claim it has been handicapped too heavy and promptly withdrew it from the meeting. This is a great shame. Tiger Roll had a good chance at winning for a third time on the trot. It would have been a superb bet on the 2021 Grand National. However, its absence means Cloth Cap remains favorite.

Just enjoy the frisson of excitement that comes from risking a little with a bet on the 2021 Grand National. So, pick a horse, place your bet at any of the online betting sites in the UK and then tune in with another 500 million people to watch what happens.
