Formula 1 Betting By Numbers
Once again I've compiled two form guide charts; the first weighted in favour of recent results and the second based on the entire 2013 season.
Here's the first form chart...
'Betting Profit' Chart For Top Six Finish (Current Form):
| Top 6 Finish | Profit* | Winning Bet |
| Jenson Button | 2.83 | 3 |
| Jean Eric-Vergne | 2.17 | 1 |
| Lewis Hamilton | 1.01 | 6 |
| Fernando Alonso | 0.67 | 5 |
| Mark Webber | 0.52 | 5 |
| Sebastian Vettel | 0.10 | 5 |
| Romain Grosjean | -0.07 | 2 |
| Nico Rosberg | -0.45 | 4 |
| Kimi Raikkonen | -0.61 | 3 |
| Felipe Massa | -2.64 | 1 |
| Adrian Sutil | -3.04 | 1 |
| Rest Of The Field | -3.50 | 0 |
* Profit weighted in favour of recent races. To be specific, I've calculated the returns based on a standard £1 bet on the same driver at each of the previous six Grand Prix and then applied the following multipliers; Monaco 16.7%, Canada 33.3%, Britain 50%, Germany 66.7%, Hungary 83.3% and Belgium 100%.
As you can see on recent form Jenson Button has been a solid bet with three top six finishes at the last six Grand Prix. However, the slight improvements which McLaren seem to have made in recent races may mean that Jenson's odds for a top six finish at Monza come down accordingly.
The second chart shows the figures for the entire season...
'Betting Profit' Chart For Top Six Finish (Entire Season):
| Top 6 Finish | Profit* | Winning Bet |
| Jean-Eric Vergne | 6.00 | 1 |
| Lewis Hamilton | 2.96 | 10 |
| Sebastian Vettel | 1.35 | 10 |
| Mark Webber | 1.20 | 8 |
| Jenson Button | 1.18 | 4 |
| Romain Grosjean | -0.71 | 4 |
| Nico Rosberg | -0.72 | 6 |
| Fernando Alonso | -0.96 | 8 |
| Kimi Raikkonen | -1.36 | 7 |
| Felipe Massa | -2.01 | 5 |
| Sergio Perez | -6.00 | 1 |
| Paul Di Resta | -7.25 | 1 |
| Adrian Sutil | -8.25 | 1 |
| Rest Of The Field | -11.00 | 0 |
* Please note, even in the few days before first practise, the odds can sometimes vary slightly, so I've generally tried to take the odds a few days before each Grand Prix as soon as the market opened.
Obviously the results for the entire season won't have quite as much relevance as results from recent races, but the above chart is perhaps worth consulting if you're looking for a driver to consider for a longer priced speculative bet.
That's the Top Six Finish betting market covered and tomorrow I'll be featuring the form guide for Top Ten Finish betting.
