Photo credit : Jim Ross\/PA Wire<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ladbrokes and Carol Vorderman have joined forces to help you pick a horse to back at the nation\u2019s favourite race: The Grand National.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With 40 horses lining up for the Grand National, it can be difficult to choose who to back in the world\u2019s most famous race. So this year, bookmaker Ladbrokes worked with maths whizz and national sweetheart Carol Vorderman on a winning formula to help novice punters pick the first past the post from the runners and riders at Aintree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI use all sorts of unscientific methods to choose a horse to back at the Grand National,\u201d said former queen of Countdown Carol as she launches the formula. \u201cAnd so this year I\u2019ve devised a formula for Ladbrokes that I hope will help me win. My formula is simple and a bit of fun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou take the first letter of your surname and assign it a number from 1 to 26. So, \u2018A\u2019 equals 1, \u2018B\u2019 equals 2, and so on until \u2018Y\u2019 equals 25 and \u2018Z\u2019 equals 26. For me, \u2018V\u2019 for Vorderman is number 22 in the alphabet, so that\u2019s my first number.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou then take a number from 0 to 14. Lots of people claim the number seven as their lucky number, so I\u2019m choosing that this year. Add those two numbers together, and you\u2019ll have a number between one and 40. I\u2019ve got 22 + 7 = 29, and that\u2019s the horse on the race card I\u2019ll be backing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the excitement for Saturday\u2019s race builds, research commissioned by Ladbrokes shows that The Grand National is still the nation\u2019s favourite, with one in three of those polled naming it as their favourite horseracing event. Red Rum is the most recognisable race horse, with 27 per cent naming the three-time Grand National winner their favourite, while Sir Tony McCoy tops the poll of favourite jockeys with 12 per cent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the Grand National,\u201d says Carol, \u201cbut I haven\u2019t been to Aintree before. This year, I\u2019ll be going with some of my friends from I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Outta Here. Sam Quek is an Aintree ambassador, and Ola Jordan and I are going as her guests. I hope I beat them at the bookies!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nicola McGeady from Ladbrokes says: \u201cThe Grand National is the biggest betting event on the calendar so we wanted to make choosing a winner as easy as possible \u2013 and who better than one of the nation\u2019s most popular maths whizzes and TV personalities to show us how. We think Carol\u2019s system does just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And it seems Carol and Ladbrokes are on to a winner with the formula: \u201cIf I\u2019d used this formula last year, I\u2019d have won at 33\/1, with Rule The World,\u201d finished Carol. \u201cI hope it works this year! Good luck, everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The formula:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Step 1: Take the first letter of your surname, and its place in the alphabet <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>a = 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 e = 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 i = 9\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 m = 13\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 q = 17\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 u = 21\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 y = 25<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>b = 2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 f = 6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 j = 10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 n = 14\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 r = 18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 v = 22\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 z = 26<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>c = 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 g = 7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 k = 11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 o = 15\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 s = 19\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 w = 23<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>d = 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 h = 8\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 l = 12\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 p = 16\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 t = 20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 x = 24<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Step 2: Add your favourite number between 0 and 14<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Result: The resulting number between 1 and 40 is the number of the horse you should back<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Example: Carol <u>V<\/u>orderman\u2019s number is <u>7<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>22 + 7 = Horse number 29 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladbrokes and Carol Vorderman have joined forces to help you pick a horse to back at the nation\u2019s favourite race: The Grand National. &nbsp; With 40 horses lining up for the Grand National, it can be difficult to choose who to back in the world\u2019s most famous race.
