Witness the current odds available against Kimi Raikkonen winning next weekend in Brazil, where Betfair's 40/1 (net of 5% comm'n), compares with the best bookie's odds of 26/1, i.e. an improvement factor of more than 50%, which I very much doubt will still be in evidence when Morris' first pre-qualifying post appears on Saturday.<br /><br />Peter from PutneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-89075443087561314222012-11-20T09:01:09.025+00:002012-11-20T09:01:09.025+00:00Forecasts suggest a probability of rain on race da...Forecasts suggest a probability of rain on race day, right now.<br /><br />Do you think putting Discussion* posts up on the Wednesday before a race weekend would be alright?<br /><br />*I was tempted by Prognostication, I must admit.Morris Dancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-40830935732662936522012-11-19T19:06:07.694+00:002012-11-19T19:06:07.694+00:00I forgot all about that clever compound post.
I ...I forgot all about that clever compound post. <br /><br />I like the idea of the discussion line. So, a few days before a race weekend I'd just put up "Brazil: Discussion" or suchlike and it'd be for some early speculation?<br /><br />If that's what you mean I'll do that for the next race, and put the 'article' up in a day or two.<br /><br />Hamilton's been the fastest on race day for the last two races in a row. In the dry, I agree he might just be marginal favourite for Interlagos, but in the rain it could be another story. He's very good in the wet, but if it's on and off or torrential then qualifying and the race could become a lottery.Morris Dancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-50364421377121834672012-11-19T17:07:47.825+00:002012-11-19T17:07:47.825+00:00I was too busy this weekend to either follow the r...I was too busy this weekend to either follow the race, or bet. Bit of a shame, as I quite fancied a punt on Hamilton, given these stats:<br />http://f1goggs.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/post-indian-gp-chart-pirelli-compounds-vs-race-winner/<br /><br />Worth bearing the above in mind when it comes to Brazil, too.<br />I am not 100% convinced that Vettel is going to win the championship, but another McLaren win wouldn't necessarily do him any harm.<br /><br />Ferrari's upgrades seem to have been a bust, with (old spec) Massa faster than his illustrious (and new spec) team mate. They will be doing the rain dance back at Maranello.<br /><br />Like the idea of a 'discussion line'.<br />Just a simple one line post ("Have at it, F! gurus" etc.) with comments enabled would do.Nigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-150963651186769432012-11-19T12:00:49.068+00:002012-11-19T12:00:49.068+00:00Cheers :)

Rain's possible/probable, and Button sealed his 2009 title in Interlagos when he came from very far back to get... third, or something like it.<br /><br />It's certainly my plan to continue with F1 articles on pb2. <br /><br />Not adverse to the idea, but I'm sure how such a discussion line would work.Morris Dancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-31628438544174239452012-11-19T11:54:19.140+00:002012-11-19T11:54:19.140+00:00Morris -
Thanks again for a brilliant summary of ...Morris -<br /><br />Thanks again for a brilliant summary of yesterday's race. The only thing I would add is that based on the BBC's highlights programme as well as their R5 commentary, Austin came across as a wonderful circuit - perhaps one of the top 5 of the season.<br /><br />My position as regards my Button spread bet remains effectively unchanged with him picking up another 10 points and his spread price is 173-175 points with one race to go. Yeeks, can I bear the tension until after Brazil or should I just cash in now?<br /><br />Hopefully you will continue to provide this service for PB F1 fans next season - can I submit a small request please - would it be possible to open a free discussion "line", without your needing to add any comments, BEFORE adding your own pieces subsequently, i.e. before practice gets under way. This would enable us mere mortals (not entrusted with the key to PB Channel 2) to add our early betting thoughts when sometimes the best prices are to be had, before all the bookies move into line with each other.<br /><br />Peter from PutneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
