Ticket? What ticket?Mr Alcatraz wrote:How much did that ticket you didn't have to eat pay for you Ray?
And I realize you have a bet on him winning the whole shooting match" If Hamilton can't pull a pole+win out of the hat in Canada. I'm selling my Hamilton WDC betting slip
I do. But it doesn't mean I want or think it will happen.Mr Alcatraz wrote:I realize you have a bet on him winning the whole shooting match
You don’t have to explain it to me Ray. I ran a Branch office of a company in Las Vegas that was based in San Diego from 1977-81 and I banked at the Sports Books.raymondu999 wrote:I do.

I'm somewhat superstitious, and it's my "just-in-case" strategy in case "knock on wood" doesn't cut it!
It's my superstition hedging. I can go somewhat extreme in criticising a driver who hasn't performed the previous year, such as Button in 2008 and Hamilton in 2011. Then to cover my ass from karma I place a bet on said driver. Hell of a lot of good that did me when I did in December 2008. I took a... what? 1:1000? Bet on Button
The track temperature and optimal tyre temperature for the car, though Ferrari are a little bit of an unknown... Merc don't stand a chance, RBR and Lotus should be quick, McLaren and Ferrari are a little unknonwn though McLaren may not be great.Chuckjr wrote:Just curious here, but why is virtually nobody picking Alonso for the win? What is it about the circuit that is Ferrari unfriendly?
raikonen doesnt have the edge this year. He has the craft but i dont think he has the speed like grosjean. Romaine to me looks more likely to win a race;if he survives the first 15 laps.godlameroso wrote:The weather in that part of Spain at this time is almost always the same, beautiful sunshine. If it's a hot race expect the Lotus cars to be seriously quick. I think it's Raikkonen's turn to win one, and this might be their best opportunity. I think most teams will opt for a one or two stopper, although the rears do take a pounding around here, the cornering speeds are not too high, except for the final sector, so degradation will be only slightly worse than in Canada. If either Lotus get's on the front two rows, then they'll have a very good chance at victory. On the other end, I think Massa will win here if anyone else, call it a hunch.
