An exciting Grand Prix, but an average performance from my formula 1 tips...
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, every Grand Prix weekend I give myself 100 points
and then place a few hypothetical bets both before and after qualifying
using the odds available from SkyBet.com.
I then analyse their performance and see which set of tips do best.
Both sets of tips performed quite averagely
this week, although once again my post-qualifying tips just managed to outperform my
pre-qualifying tips, so the way things are developing it’s looking like waiting
until after qualifying before placing your formula 1 bets is definitely a wise
strategy.
This is how my post-qualifying tips
performed…
To Finish On The Podium:
10 points on Fernando Alonso at 3.5 – WIN 35 points
Fernando is becoming the master at qualifying on the 3rd or 4th row of the grid and then making up a few places during the race to finish up on the podium and he did it once again at the United States Grand Prix. He was arguably helped by Ferrari’s clever and sneaky tactic of forcing a five grid sot penalty for Felipe Massa by breaking the seal on his gear box, but I think there’s a strong case that even without this pre-race tactic Fernando would very probably have still made the podium. Anyway, if he qualifies in a similar position at Brazil then he’s worth considering once again for another podium finish.
Top Six Finish:
15 points on Kimi Raikkonen at odds of 1.33 – WIN 20 points
Kimi has been the model of consistency in the Top Six market, and has now made it 12 top six finishes from the last 13 Grand Prix.
