Formula 1: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

[GP]

Thought I would try my luck at F1:

+200 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Top 3 Finish - Jenson Button, 5D
Kamui Kobayashi +105* vs Bruno Senna, 5D
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Winning Margin Over 6 Seconds -150, Bodog

Opti, who are you backing?

[Optional]

I got lucky and backed Hamilton early at +710, just because the price was so good. So when Vettel got sent to the rear I sold the bet on Betfair for -170 for a bit over 2u profit.

Now I have backed Webber at +450, again because the price is silly for a guy starting front row in possibly the best car for race pace. Still expecting Hamilton to win though.

Also got Vettel for fastest lap +300. He chose to start from pitlane so am thinking he did that to safe the fuel from a parade lap and will be planning to run an extra long first stint. Meaning he should be on newer tires than the others come the end as well as probably having more incentive to push than whoever is at the front.

Was going to bet Alonso for a top 3 before Vettel was relegated. But think he actually has less chance as he needs it less now Vettel should not score more than a point or two at most.

Got hosed last race taking a bunch of head 2 heads. Already well ahead on the race. Backed all three practice session winners and Rosberg for top 10 in quali. Vettel to take pole has been the only loss so far. So might just stick with what I have this week.

Jenson top 3 seems like a nice play at those odds. But don't like your margin over 6 secs personally. Not with all that juice at least. Lewis is far more likely to take a 5 second lead and manage it to ensure he has tires to fight anyone off than run away to a 10+ second lead like Vettel has been doing. And if he doesn't win, you're in big trouble there I think. Sorry to say that

Good luck

LOL... should have been able to bet who would not make 1 lap on those. 3 out of 6.

[Optional]

OMG Hamilton stops...

We are back in the game with Webber fastest on track now.

[Optional]

2nd time Hamilton has just suddenly stopped whilst dominating this race.

[Optional]

penetrate! Can Webber do anything right any more???

[Optional]

And again Webber hits someone trying to pass them.

rooster_eater is on tilt.

[shaunovery]

Awful by webber useless

[Optional]

And here he is back on Maldonado's tail... -120 he hits him again trying to pass around outside for third time?

Boom.... 3rd time is a charm. He's out.

What a sucky race for Webber!

Vettel is now a chance to actually win this thing!!! wow

Almost took $5 on the 40/1 on him too

[5mike5]

Saftey car +140 would have been easy eh?

[Optional]

Saftey car +140 would have been easy eh?

Seems that way now. But with the huge run off areas on this track, meaning they can clear accidents without stopping cars, Safety Car NO was expected to win.

[5mike5]

well that makes sense....

i know more about womens water polo than F1...LOL

[Optional]

Vettel fastest lap bet is looking nice about now.

Schumacher the big risk having to take new tires after a puncture.

[Optional]

I think Raikonen's tires could be falling off the cliff...

[Optional]

^^^ he says 1 lap before Kimi sets his fastest lap of the race LOL

[Optional]

Vettel does the fast lap with just 1 lap left. Go Seb baby!

[5mike5]

NICE call Opti!

u killed F1 this week buddy

[Optional]

Sorry everyone did not do better.

Super race for me. 6-2 on bets I made and up around 10u for the race.

[5mike5]

u killed all those practices too!!!

was worth a very small loss it to wtch a whole race and enjoy it....

[Optional]

LOL @ Raikonenn on podium interview. "last time I won everyone gave me shit for not smiling enough". To the world feed live.

Glad you enjoyed it at least.

Next race in Texas should be better


Oh well... switch off F1 mode and onto Cup!

[Optional]

Oh my. seb says "we had a chance to fukk it up" now.

These podium interviews are new. I wonder if the drivers have a plan to swear during them to make TV stop doing them

[5mike5]

good ggrief everybody throwing out profanity laced statements

Opti, nice call on selling your Hamilton future. Another nice call on fastest lap.

I wasn't able to watch the race, but i did tail your fast lap play for +290.

[Optional]

Worth catching a replay. Much better than I expected for an Abu Dhabi race.

Glad to hear you cashed the fast lap too
