Exhausted

I managed to win back yesterdays loss to within £1 on today’s race. It started off with a lay of Kimi @ 1.49 but I traded back out before the start as the expected rain had not reached the track yet and I couldn’t see anyone beating Kimi into the first corner. So I waited until 4 laps into the race a laid him at 1.3ish and also made a small back of Massa at 6.

My thinking at the time was Massa should pit after Kimi and although Kimi was the quicker of the two, traffic later in the race could have played into Massa’s hands. Thanks to a dodgy exhaust on Kimi’s car it didn’t matter and Massa was able to take advantage. This all happened in the add break and the slowness at which the odds changed was interesting – I should really have made more of it but seeing as I was in a good position anyway with a lay of Kimi and back of Massa I just left it as it was.

I had backed Trulli to win the Winner w/o big 4 market but also laid him to finish on the podium. I thought Heikki would catch him near the end so these two bets cancelled each other out.

I didn’t really do much else because of not being at home and the limited time I had to spend on it – and the headache form two nights out on the booze – probably best not to do much trading when you are hung-over!

The championship is still wide open but Massa is looking good. He’s impressed me a lot this season and I think he’s the only one of the Ferrari/McLaren drivers who really deserves it.

So no profit this time but I’m pleased with the end result after yesterday’s shocker. Silverstones up next and another Ferrari 1-2 looks a likely outcome going by their form in France.

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).
