F1 Grand Prix Betting in pole position
Formula One Grand Prix betting is proving very popular with bookmakers such as Bet365. There are strong form lines and a mass F1 fan base willing to put their money where their mouth is.
If you are one of those Formula One fans then why not add an extra dimension to your enjoyment and try your hand at F1 betting to profit from your personal insights into the sport? Many punters are benefiting from their profits on Grand Prix already. It's no surprise that it is becoming increasing popular.
Every Grand Prix throughout the season is shown live on terrestrial television, helping the very best of motor racing sport to attract a growing audience and to swell betting turnovers.
In the UK, Formula One in general and F1 Grand Prix betting in particular has benefited from the successes of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. Britain, like every nation, takes great pride in its home grown heroes. How many other sports are there with two British men so highly ranked in the world?
No wonder that F1 betting has gathered enough momentum for online bookmakers to offer an attractive and extensive range of betting opportunities for all Formula One enthusiasts, optimists and pessimists alike.
Whether you would like to bet on the outcome of a particular race or have a view on the longer term, there will be an F1 bet to enable you to profit from your views. The range of gambling permutations is extensive.
If you would like to make a Formula One bet on the outcome of a single race, there are nineteen Grand Prix contests to choose from during the season. In the 2010 season the action started on March 14th with the Bahrain Grand Prix held at the Sakhir Circuit. The punters profited as the favourite, Fernando Alonso, driving for Ferrari, added to the team's previous Bahrain victories and won convincingly.
Thanks to the popularity of F1 betting, you can now bet on much more than who will win. You can place a wager each way (win or place) or pick the winner and the second placed driver in a dual forecast. You can also place your bet on the team of the winning driver or on who will drive the fastest lap or who will have the fastest qualification time or a combination of all three.
There is also a betting market for drivers finishing in the points (which go down as far as tenth place since 2010), bringing you much greater opportunities to profit from place betting.
If you don't have a strong view on who will win or finish in the points in a Formula One race, you can also place your Formula One bet on who will be the first driver to retire and/or which type of car will retire first.
Odds are also offered on 'one lap wonders' i.e. the number of cars that will retire after just one lap. Some online bookmakers will even offer Formula One betting on whether or not the safety car will be used, don't expect spectacular odds though.
If you prefer to take a longer view, betting on the F1 season is also popular. Just one bet can give your whole Grand Prix season added interest and profits too. Sebastian Vettel's punters did not have to wait to the end of the season in 2011. The German followed up his 2010 championship by clinching the 2011 F1 Drivers' Title with four races still to go.
You are not restricted to a single driver's chances of winning the championship either. You can gamble on the nationality of the winner and the number of Grand Prix wins you expect individual drivers to achieve during the course of the season.
Don't forget that 2010 heralded changes to the Formula One point system. The newly-introduced system awards twenty five points to the winner, eighteen to the second and a solitary point to the tenth placed driver.
The 2010 season also saw the introduction of full race distance fuel being carried in the qualifying sessions and the outlawing of mid race re-fuelling.
If you are confident about a certain Formula 1 team's cars' quality and reliability, you can also make money on your bet on the F1 Constructors Championship betting rather than relying on any particular driver or race result.
So how can you improve your chances of profiting from F1 betting? Just like other forms of racing, it's worth doing your research before placing your F1 bets. Here are four factors to consider that may help to boost your Formula One betting profits:
- Analyse the Qualifying Sessions: The qualification sessions that usually take place on the Saturday before the Sunday Grand Prix are often a valuable indicator of what will happen in the race itself. If anyone is producing slower lap times than expected, there may be a problem, perhaps associated with the conditions or technical issues with the car, which will also affect the race result.
- Follow the Form: Good results breed confidence and more success. If an individual driver or team haven't done well in recent Grand Prix races, think carefully about why that has happened and factor it in to your Formula One betting.
- Look for F1 Interview Insights: Interviews can provide valuable insights to inform your Formula One betting. It's worth reading up on whatever information has been offered before the F1 Grand Prix race as drivers and teams are often quite frank about potential problems or pre-race strategies that could make all the difference to their performance.
- Consider Track Performance and Weather Conditions: Some cars, like horses, perform better in some conditions or on certain tracks than others. Weather can play a massive part in driver and car performance. If rain is likely, it has got to make sense to place your Formula One bet on a driver who is proven in wet conditions, provided his car is too. Similarly, some cars experience problems with extreme heat. Make sure your selection can cope with the climate. It is no coincidence that certain teams have particularly good records at specific tracks.
There is definitely money to be made on F1 betting. The favourites do, quite regularly, come in on the F1 outright race win market. There is also a wonderfully wide range of Grand Prix bets providing many other opportunities to make money at longer odds or simply have a fun bet.
If you want to profit from Formula One betting, just do your research, use a good online bookmaker like Bet365 and enjoy watching your Grand Prix F1 winnings roll in.
