It certainly was a BMW pay day with a great 1-2 for the team and another good days trading for me – with a little help from Lewis.
A lay of Lewis was the right thing to do but I realised afterwards maybe I should have waited until the race had started. His odds dropped to 1.35 after the first lap so I guess it’s a decision of weather the extra 0.30 is worth the lay in case of a first corner incident. I’m confident he would not have won the race had he not run into the back of Kimi anyway. A safety car was likely at some point during the race and it was always going to throw a spanner in the works, causing Lewis’ odds shoot up to evens before anyone had entered the pits.
The thing I like about BMW is it’s really easy to tell their drivers apart. Seeing Kubica sat at the side of Kimi had me going for the mouse button to back him as soon as Lewis tried to show his dad how to crash a car. I got matched and traded it again a few laps later to green up. When Nick fuelled to the end I moved all the money over to him and then gradually moved it back to Kubica once he was free of Glock. This with the original lay of Lewis added on top gave my book a good looking green, allowing me to sit back and watch the rest of the race.
Not much luck on any of the other markets today. A few winners and losers on points and ‘will they finish’ left me around about break even on these markets.
Adding today’s win to yesterdays means a very successful weekend of trading. I was a bit annoyed after Turkey as I felt I made a mistake by not backing Massa. A break away from trading seems to have done some good as I would say this was probably my most successful grand prix ever in terms of the way I traded and the profit.
Unfortunately we now go to Magny-Cours and Silverstone which don’t tend to bring about such eventful races – but the way this season is going things could be different.
