Formula 1 Tips For The Italian Grand Prix
Please note, this blog is just a bit of fun to test myself and see how well I really know formula 1. It's simply for my own benefit to keep a record of how well my predictions do, and not intended as advice to be taken by anyone else. If other formula 1 fans want to view my tips out of curiosity then that's fine, but I'm in no way proclaiming myself to be an amazing formula 1 expert.In general I always like to wait until after qualifying before placing my bets, so to test whether that's the best strategy or not I made a few tips earlier today before qualifying and now I'm going to make another set of tips to see which set of tips do best. I'll give myself 100 points and place a few hypothetical bets using the odds available from OLBG.com and see how I do.
To Win Outright:
5 points on Paul Di Resta at 67.0.
Paul Di Resta has looked quietly impressive so far this weekend and another first corner incident like that at Spa could potentially take out some of his front running competitors and give him a surprise chance at victory. Given that Monza has a history of first corner incidents I'm therefore going to go for a speculative 5 point bet on Paul Di Resta for the victory.
To Win Outright (Eachway):
30 points on Jenson Button at 3.75.
Lewis Hamilton has to be favourite for the win but at odds of 1.9 he doesn't hold much appeal. Jenson on the other hand has been heading back to form in recent events and therefore starting from second on the grid his odds of 3.75 are more tempting. I'm therefore going to go for a cagey eachway bet on Jenson Button. My 30 point bet will return 55 points if he wins, and if he comes second I suffer a loss of -1.3 points which I can live with.
