Finally back on the F1 circuit after the summer break. Last race was going so well till Huldenberg's car spontaneously combusted on the front stretch, and that was that.
Couple of plays to start off with.
Hamilton to win -160
Hulkenberg -150
Hamilton is open as to how much he likes this track, and how much it means for him to win here. I like him to be strong here.
Hulkenberg cost me last race, but that was random, and I'm back on him. I like this bet moving forward the rest of the year.

For those casual F1 fans out there, the most fascinating story going on behind the scenes in the sport is the Red Bull-Renault issue. Red Bull has been very upset with the Renault's performance, and Ricciardo had his engine go out today...again. Red Bull is going to probably make a change, and that's hundreds of millions of dollars going to a different engine company. It could elevate Red Bull next year, or they could be in the same position the McClarens are in this year. It's an interesting story with lots of ramifications. Stay tuned...

Qualifying worked out fantastic for bettors. Lots of plays setting up nicely.
Adding Rosberg top 3 -175
Vettel -150 over Kimi
It's crazy odds, but I'm taking Hamilton to win at -275. This race comes down to the start. If Hamilton gets off clean, and leads lap 1 he's gone. Rosberg has had success on starts and has been able to get around Hamilton and stay in front of him, but I don't think the Ferrari's can stay out front if they get around him on the start. Vettel has been great at starts, but he's got to get around Hamilton, and his teammate who probably will get in the way.
GL to everyone...I may have some more plays before the race starts.

Was already beginning to celebrate going 4-0 this week...and then Rosberg's engine blows with 1 to go. Two weeks in a row I've lost a car in the last 2 laps.
Had to laugh at the start of the race as I posted above that Kimi would probably get in the way...and sure enough...he did.
Boring race to watch, but always cool to see the Italian crowd and all the Ferrari flags, and of course turning a profit is always a good thing.

Not sure how many people tail picks in this thread, but I have a lot of money tied up in futures, and I'm going to lay money on Hamilton to win the Championship at -1400.
In the gambling community this is seen as a big no no, but the scenarios in which Hamilton loses this championship are crazy. He's going to win it, and he may mathematically wrap it up before the last race.
If you have $1400 in your account, this is like someone giving you a free $100, and you only have to wait 2 months as the last race is in the end of November.

Well...apparently a lot has changed this week!!!
Ferrari and Red Bull have all the speed and Mercedes is off the pace. Vettel looks unstoppable.
However, I'm not ready to have the changing of the guard yet. Practice, and qualifying is one thing...keeping the pace in the race is another.
There is lots of talk about the tyre pressure and Mercedes skirting the rules, and Hamilton admitted the cars aren't great with the tyres right now. But I don't believe the Mercedes are going away any time soon. Going to take a few bets supporting Hamilton with the assumption they get their speed right on race day.
Hamilton top 3 +175
Hamilton +105 over Raikkonen
Every year I have 1-2 races I get killed on...haven't had them yet...this one could be the one...or it could be very profitable. We will see tomorrow.
Sidenote: The start of the race tomorrow will be the most exciting start of the season. Fireworks will definitely fly.

I can't believe they still have Kimi driving that car. When he's not messing up the starts, or not getting the most out of the car, he's running into people. It's embarrassing.
Max might be the replacement...I keep hearing Hulkenberg (if he can ever finish a race).

I think the Hulkenberg ship has sailed at Ferrari even though I did agree with Hobbs about him getting a big ride. Max driving the Toro Rossa with the Ferrari engine has me thinking.

Couple of plays...hoping I find a nice spot here in South Africa to catch the race!
Vettel top 3 -175
Bottas over Massa -165
I'm not sure if Mercedes is going to let Rosberg win, or if they want Hamilton to keep racking up the wins...but both guys are at +125 to win. I don't think it's a bad bet to put money on both of them and turn a small profit if one of them wins.
