The racing review is more or less done, I'll probably post it this week or at the weekend. The other ones (predictive and betting) will take longer, because there's number crunching involved.Morris Dancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-42899118168130905432010-11-15T18:51:51.029+00:002010-11-15T18:51:51.029+00:00Thanks for your work this season MD.

(My betting suffered too.)<br /><br />I don't really agree with you that the season was 'fantastic'. There were many good points, but the aerodynamics continue to spoil things. <br /><br />Schumachers accident also showed how far from safe we really are. A slightly different angle for the FIndia and he'd have perhaps died. Although I love the sport I believe that we need substantial change.Omniumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-49154502417161736362010-11-15T01:25:35.457+00:002010-11-15T01:25:35.457+00:00Hi MD,

I thought Webber had been the slightly more consistent driver this year and has done well considering he was clearly second to Vettel. Don't get me wrong, he performed badly in the final race, but for the way he has conducted himself, especially consdering his injury last year, I had hoped he would win. Feels odd, supporting an Aussie, but there you go. Only a few weeks and off we go again!SthLondon Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-53524824523958505242010-11-14T16:51:15.311+00:002010-11-14T16:51:15.311+00:00True, but I wish I had a 10/1 shot come in this se...True, but I wish I had a 10/1 shot come in this season (I came closeish with similar odds on Kubica getting pole in Monaco and Alonso, er, somewhere else) but didn't manage it.<br /><br />The Button tip was odd, because it was so obvious. In practice Brawn had outpaced all other cars all the time by a huge margin. I just wish I'd backed my own tip. Still, we live and learn. I very much doubt there'll be such a situation next year.Morris Dancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-69526294927074844292010-11-14T16:48:59.714+00:002010-11-14T16:48:59.714+00:00Fair dues Morris - that was truly a Smithsonesque ...Fair dues Morris - that was truly a Smithsonesque performance by you, in fact comfortably exceeding OGH's, ahem, barely mentioned triumph on Obama.Peter from Putneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133613985279722397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-56868483503183493322010-11-14T16:35:46.571+00:002010-11-14T16:35:46.571+00:00:D

Who posted this on PB2 just under a week ago about the 2010 F1 Championship:<br /><br />"The current odds for the protagonists are:<br />Alonso 0.86/1 with Betfair<br />Webber 1.8/1 with Paddy Power<br />Vettel 10/1 with bet265 or Stan James<br /><br />You pays your money and you takes your pick, Vettel looks to have the beating of the other two and imho is the value bet, but can he win by the required margin? That's a very tough ask of him? Good luck to you all."<br />7 November 2010 23:27<br /><br />Wow, a 10/1 winner!
