First race? Based on these odds, I'd put my money on HK or FM just for ****s and giggles esp since the first race "could" be a toss up considering TC is gone.

Damned if I know. Bet for Alonso in UK rings and for Lewis in Spain. Whatever happens you should make some dough.

WOW! You guys rock. I need to study this a bit.

I would put money down on Lewis, but the gambler in me wants to do some long shots. As in Piquet, Kubica, or Heidfeld.

Race is going to be late on Saturday. I may have to TIVO it since, I'll have a hard time getting SoCalCLK to sit and watch the race.

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
I was looking the other day for a place on the internet to bet but the one I found was in UK and they wouldn't let people in the US bet. Do you know any place?

REALLLLY fascinating, the odds re both the teams and the drivers for the Melbourne race. Kimi's mathematical odds so much better than Lewis'. Huh, interesting indeed!

In many ways, esp w/ all of the uncertainties and changes (esp no traction control) this season, hard to predict on a priori basis. So, it would appear that really the prognostications are a carry over of the actual team/driver points scored last season. Perhaps the 1st 2 races, being so close together, will start to sort things out.......??

I could be wrong, but I thought they outlawed all of that in the US. I intend to bet the race while I'm in Vegas.

Put the paypal up, and I'll put it down for you.

Sounds weird I know, but I'm legit.
