Mccoy Smashes Bookies With Last Gasp National Plunge

MCCOY SMASHES BOOKIES WITH LAST GASP NATIONAL PLUNGE!

After fifteen years of Grand National misery , champion jockey Tony McCoy set the record straight with a victory in the famous race – costing Britain’s bookies over £10million in losses.

Punters piled into the odds of Don’t Push It in the hour leading up to the race – slashing the odds from 20-1 into 10-1 favourite.

Bookmakers William Hill estimate that around 10% of all Grand National bets wagered accompanied McCoy around the 30 National fences – leading to losses of £10 million for the betting industry.

David Hood, spokesman for Britain’s biggest bookies William Hill, said: ‘’It is a black-armband day for the betting industry. Time, and time, again, McCoy heaps misery on the bookmakers, and this time he has done it on the biggest stage. The payouts will continue long into the night.’’

William Hill have installed Tony McCoy as a 10-1 chance for BBC’s Sports personality of the year – and 7-2 for a top three finish in the sporting honours.

Hills also make Don’t Push It the 16-1 favourite for a repeat victory in the 2011 John Smith’s Grand National.
