Grand National tips: Bookmaker thinks 2025 could be a grey day at Aintree

Data from William Hill has revealed that backing grey horses has been no way of winning money on the Grand National.  

Since the turn of the millennium, 62 greys have gone to post across the 24 renewals. 

But of those runners, a mere seven have placed in the first five, and there has been just one winner since 2012.

Despite this, William Hill think it could be a good year for the greys, offering just 3/1 that any of the eight greys set to run will win the 2025 Grand National.

Golf betting tips: Tom Kim to rediscover his form at the Valero Texas Open

There’s one week to go until The Masters tees off at Augusta National - and the Valero Texas Open will serve as the 2025 edition’s curtain-raiser.

Congrats to everyone who was on board with the Min Woo Lee pick last weekend. The Australian played some phenomenal golf, and his maiden win has proven a big success for the golf betting community.
