Back home from Monaco

What a race! I haven’t had a chance to watch it fully but what I could make out from our stand, the giant screens and kangaroo TV it was pretty eventful. Lewis hit the wall just in front of our stand and from the ‘thud’ I was convinced he’d damaged the suspension, but lucky for him the forced pit stop is what eventually won him the race.

It’s one of those races which comes around ever now and then were you could either win or loose a fortune. It’s easy for me to say now, but when he pitted and put more fuel in I would have backed Lewis. I don’t know what the odds were but I would imagine they were favourable. However he was lucky no safety car came out during his long stint otherwise he would not have won…he was also lucky with the slow puncture.

Hamilton’s luck was my luck too in terms of the experiment. Not a massive win but +£20.50 is still a profit.

Qualy was a shocker and I still cannot believe Massa managed to get pole. I’m sure that surprised a few people.

Race win was the big winner with Hamilton bringing the car home but Kubica who finished 2nd was included in my book. Nick Heidfeld once again looked poor and maybe his longer odds were justified.

Fastest lap also gave a return with Kimi topping the times. Heikki also got the 2nd fastest so again I had covered the top two.

I never got matched on Button for points which was lucky, but I placed the £2 on ‘other’ in the qualy/race market just in case of a fully wet messed up race which anyone could win.

I won’t include this ‘experiment’ in my normal trading accounts. Instead I will use the £70 as a test fund for which ever sport I decide to trade (thanks for the suggestions).

When I get them sorted out I will post some Monaco pictures.

About this site

I have managed to make consistent profits through a mix of traditional betting, trading on the exchanges and somewhat of an obsession for Formula One over the last 3 seasons. Will it continue in 2008 or have I just been lucky! Follow my blog as I look at the possibilities in each race and try to pick out the value bets. Feel free to comment on any posts (negative or positive!) or contact me by e-mail if you have any questions (mail@flutterfly.co.uk).
