Well the Massa predictions came good and he nailed an almost perfect lap to take pole position. My only disappointment is with the threat of rain I decided to lay off my liability in-play. It still left a sizeable chunk for a Massa pole but it’s always annoying when that happens – but if the rain had turned up I don’t think he would have been able to achieve top spot, so I can be pleased in the knowledge it was probably the right thing to do.

The graph below shows his odds over the week. The blue line is my entry point with the yellow line being the time I layed for a ‘free bet’ on Massa to get pole. At this time rain was expected in 10 minutes time but in Malaysia you never know. Had it rained I would then have greened-up but Massa went on to win.

I also had a smaller trade on Massa race win – the graph for this looks similar allowing me to trade out for another green. As too did a points finish bet on Trulli.

Time now to look at the race and with the chance of rain it could mean some great in-play betting which means I will leave most of my funds available for this rather than tie them up in pre race bets. I am now in a position whatever happens in the race I will not make a loss this weekend and have made more than enough to cover last weeks loss.
