Germany and Hungary were both ok.<br /><br />I missed that tip, Mr. Putney. Must say I was considering a covering bet, as I've backed Robson for the title at 76. Not sure if I'll go for straight sets or just the win.<br /><br />I'd be disinclined to back Rosberg. I think Grosjean for top 6, if I were after that sort of bet, might be more tempting, or Perez for a podium.

I must say I am finding it increasingly difficult to find any real value in the betting markets as the season progresses.<br />It seems that Mercedes are destined to have another hugely disappointing season with neither of their drivers really setting the world alight.<br />One feels that Nico Rosberg, in particular, really has to start performing if he's to retain his seat and it's on this basis that my pick for today's Belgium GP is based.<br />Although starting in 17th place, in Q1 he was within 1/20th of a second within the time recorded by Grosjean who will start in 9th place on the Grid. In theory at least therefore, the German has the raw pace to compete for a points finish for which both Ladbrokes and Bet Victor have him on offer at 11/4.<br />This looks like reasonable value to me, especially as some other bookies have him on offer at a much shorter price of 7/4. <br />BTW as a tennis enthusiast, did you see my suggestion on PB yesterday to back Samantha Stosur to defeat GB's Laura Robson in straight sets today in their last 16 ladies match in the US Open, for which both Blue Square and Corals are offering odds of evens. For me, at least, tennis betting, where only two outcomes are possible in terms of the outright result, seems far easier to get right than FI with 20+ drivers involved!<br /><br />Peter from PutneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
