My Motorsport 2013

[Optional]

Yeah i realised what you were most likely on about when I was watching the race on Monday. I didnt think much of it to be honest and dont see what kimi did wrong at all. Grosjean was always going to get past. His move around the outside seemed pretty clumsy IMO.

I saw reports today that since that incident Kimi almost walked out of the team and wasnt going to race the rest of the year. Sounds like they came to some kind of peace agreement for the final races but might be worth fading kimi? I doubt he will be getting full support from the team here on out.

Think Kimi stopped trying the day he signed for Ferrari. So yeah agree with fade idea.

I know everyone loves him but I find it hard to applaud anyone who holds themselves above every sport they compete in. If he had the passion for F1 m0st other drivers have he'd be awesome.

[Optional]

you were watching it live Opti. Practice 2 is at midnight our time.

Both Mercs looked pretty good hey. I was surprised there wasnt the usual gap to the red bulls this time around. I wonder if RB is holding back a little or Merc & Lotus are a little closer here.

Lewis has always done really well here, hoping to find a nice h2h with him but haven't taken anything yet.

[MatI]

trust me been there pal, thats what i got my degree in was surgical technology, and moved up to a certified 1st assistant in surgery...mostly did ortho, general and specialized in weight-loss surgery...god i used to work 10 hrs shift (7a-5p) but onmly mon-thurs which was pretty sweet having fri-sun off for the racing weekends and always a 3 day weekend barring any call i had to take or couldn't give away.and of course th call once in a while ..

my sister is home health care RN, which is what im gonna finish up school wise in the next few years

what can i say i LOVE surgery and working in the Operating room, nopne of that stuff bothers me any..plus i enjoy helping people in a small way get better....but til i get me RN i made just as much doing this after i actually started getting smart about it and studied my arse off...so what was the point...only thing i really miss is having health ins. thru the hospital and almost everything paid in case anything ever happend to me...and dental was amazing too which i miss...but luckily never had surgery myself..

.i actually did help remove my woman's gallbladder though when we 1st started dating years ago....was odd to see the inside of her () with a camera....

Good stuff mate, surgery would be good. Personally I prefer more chaos! Ive got a degree in public health and work as clinical co ordinator. Wish i had your hours though - night shift kills me at times.

Looking fwd to trucks mate, we need to get Opti to find us a winner.

[MatI]

Opti, just a heads up. Ive jumped on Lorenzo for next weekend already. Going 2x for the race win.

Lorenzo has to win and I think he will be pulling out all the stops to take it. Marquez just needs to follow him over the line for the championship and I dont see him taking too many risks. Grabbing it early just in case.

I was thinking of leaving my last tip a winner and staying quiet LOL

Thankyou! Like the logic.

Did you look at Pedrosa's record at the circuit?

[MatI]

Did you look at Pedrosa's record at the circuit?

Not overly so. He has 2 wins at Valencia including one last year, but I dont hold much stock in last years win as Stoner had an off race and Lorenzo was a DNF.

[Optional]

He must be hungry.

Can Marquez take title if both other two finish ahead?

[MatI]

Yes Marquez just needs to finish 4th or better.

[Optional]

No real market at betfair and no book I have has a market.

But if odds are good I might take some Pedrosa too.

Just the spot that little oyster would spoil a party. If he thinks Marquez will hang back I think he will be really really keen to snatch a little glory in a Spain that must be talking about the other two 4 times as much this year.

That job does sounds very chaotic. Chaotic in surgery is never a good thing. Usually means a surgeon is screaming at u and everybody else. Lol.

What exactly do I do? I'm sure it's called a different name here. I still might not know cause i was never in the ER

[5mike5]

Re: mati

yes I'm looking forward to the night truck race tonight too. Haven looked at anything from the past or the odds yet as usual for trucks but I will sometime and see what opti thinks.

He he was also on target just off practicing means a lot more in truck series than any other. Since he said that I been looking last couple weeks as he is right. But still pretty meaningless in the top 2 series!!! usually. Lol

and as good as Wallace looked in sessions we all should have had him at 20-1 or better. We have bet him as longshots a lot this season too. Figures. But I was sweating enough as it was.

galad the nationwide series is back in action for the last 3 races of the season!!! Been a cash cow all damn year

[MatI]

Damn, only woke up a few minutes before the truck race and just jumped on Kyle with you. Was def not a day for the Cup guys!!

I sent you a pm mike instead of cluttering the thread about our life!

Bring on NW, and also hopefully can find something good for A-League today and F1 Qualy...

I'm starting to really despise Pedrosa! He finds numerous ways to burn me, somehow, each year. I think you are right, he would love to play spoiler in whatever way he can. He would be well aware though that Honda would be very unimpressed if he did anything to help Lorenzo & hinder Marquez.

Think Kimi stopped trying the day he signed for Ferrari. So yeah agree with fade idea.

did you see this story?

I'd probably stop caring if I wasnt getting paid as well. Pretty dodgy situation for him. Whats to guarantee he will see a cent of that money once he walks out that door and moves back in at Ferrari?

[Optional]

Had a bit of a harrowing and long day and was stuffd when i got home and went straight to sleep.

Missed trucks, missed P3, missed everything else.

Still dazed and confused I took Grosjean for top 3 in qualifying at +172


Lewis wasnt worth it at -200 and think both drivers have similar chances of pulling it off personally.

Knew about the issue but read that story... and honestly all it does is reinforce my ever lowering opinion of him.

He has a contract and a manager and no doubt enough guarantees and assurances to know he will get paid from some one... even if its from an insurance company years down the track. Yes it sucks, but I still see him bitching about it in public as simply a direct response to the team asking him to let the 1+ sec per lap faster car past safely and him spitting the dummy. He's a self entitled prat with zero respect for the sport or any team silly enough to pay for his non-loyalty imho.

(I might be developing an anti-Kimi bias though)

Hope everything is ok mate.

I was tempted with that lewis bet as well, and had the exact same thinking as you. Thankfully stayed safe with no play. Happily surprised to see Webber pull it out! Unreal he really nailed that lap i couldnt believe it! Was paying 10-1 before qual which is crazy since he is in the dominant car, just shows how strong SV has been lately.

Kimi gets the chance to impress you tonight, demoted to the back of the grid!

[MatI]

Fastest Lap, Kimi Raikkonen @ 17.00 - 0.25u

Worth a go with alternate strategy from the back.

[MatI]

adding a few more for the race, what are you thinking opti??

Race H2H Lewis Hamilton @ 1.952 vs Nico Rosberg - 1.5u
1st Lap Leader Field @ 2.25 vs Webber - 0.5u
Safety Car Yes @ 2.20 - 0.5u

[MatI]

Tempted to take Kimi @ 2.35 vs Alonso but i have enough on the go i think

[Optional]

Got $16 for Kimi fastest lap.

took a parlay for fun to go with it. That'll do me.


11/3/2013 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7703 Lewis Hamilton* -110 vs Nico Rosberg
11/3/2013 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7711 Daniel Ricciardo* -125 vs Paul di Resta
11/3/2013 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7728 Nico Hulkenberg* +145 vs Fernando Alonso

Risking $10.00 To Win $74.19

[Optional]

Uho. Vibration in Lewis' rear brakes on formation lap.

[MatI]

GL on the parlay mate.

kimi

[Optional]

LOL... 1 corner.

And the prick didnt even trigger a SC for you!

[MatI]

And the prick didnt even trigger a SC for you!

I did get excited for a second!!

Give SV the trophy already. Lewis bet looks hopeless already, need merc boys to only give Nico 3 wheels next stop.

[Optional]

Where do we get off questioning if Vettel is really 'that good' eh?

[MatI]

He should be forced to start on handicap for the rest of the races. Or maybe new rule, he must complete 6 donuts on lap 20 before continuing his race!

[5mike5]

guys this vettel guy... his DOMINATION has to be like 90% machine am i right?

could kimi or alonso, or any other top notch driver also jump in that car and win the championship too?

[MatI]

Simplifying things a little but yeah, if you had Alonso/Kimi/Hamilton in that Red Bull, you would be seeing much the same.

Completely new set of tech regulations next year, time for the other teams to step up their game...

[Optional]

Took Pedrosa $6.40 just for the value. And he is supposed to be good here.

Also got Marquez to lead the first lap $5.20 (didnt really know why the price so high from pole but it was betfair so i grabbed it)

[Optional]

Shit now he is $6.40 to lead the first lap from pole. Do they think he isnt even going to fight for it and risk falling

I call rubbish to that idea.

[MatI]

Odds def dont reflect his actual chances. Its a really good value bet.

I thought of taking it as a cover for my original lorenzo bet but ended up just letting it ride. Was only 1 unit.

[MatI]

As i type Lorenzo pushes DP wide.

[MatI]

This is playin out real funny. Lorenzo in the lead but trying to ride slow enough to drop him and Marquez into the pack. Now stewards involved. Not sure how this shake out late in the race....

[Optional]

Was a good race!

Loved the Lorenzo tactics and ride and the aggression he showed.
