MotoGP $100 betting challenge 2017

[Dadpole]

Marquez was good to you Crasher. A faultless race with only the risk of him falling asleep on the last 5 laps.

Rossi repaid my faith in him with an early clusterfuck followed by a great ride to minimise damage - to him. Left me down a few pesos though. :violin:

Good old Pedrosa saved most of my bacon with a podium to minimise damage - to me.

Now down to $42.70.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Marquez was good to you Crasher. .

He's still got a way to go to pay me the sort of money Stoner did in 07, but yep...liking it.

[Autech]

I bet large on Dani for the win with some speculative dollars on folger n crashlots. Covered my back with a bet on Dani for the podium though so ended up slightly better off at 62.10

Sweet still well and truly leading the way excluding CWB, add $360 to that and that's my real total money as I withdrew 300 and have 60 on Dani for the championship (though I wish I had waited till now to bet that!).

Thinking of dumping the lot on a certain Ducati rider before the GP gets underway this weekend... Any others thinking similarly?

[Dadpole]

You took the thought right out of my tiny mind. The forecast is for dry so I think/hope George will deliver on the form he showed at Brno. :niceone:

Prob being...I think there are three that have a good shot at winning it if it's dry. Four if it's wet.

STOP... My little brain can't cope with the variables we get with every race these days. It is brilliant from a viewer perspective but a bugger for placing a bet.

One positive is that I think the TAB only take bets in round dollars so I should have at least 70 cents left at the end. :woohoo:

The fucking Queer Cunts had best give us the odds before the first practice. It's like cheating if they wait until it's happened. They put the odds out for the horses before they're half way around the fucking track...

[EJK]

I'd bet on Petrucci higher than Lorenzo. He's on same GP17 isn't he? Think he's a real good contender for podium.

[Dadpole]

The way this season has gone, Honda could win. Perhaps KTM will show up with a demon engine. This would be the track to do it.

Not a good meeting at all. I picked second for a win and fifth for a podium. :facepalm:

Put it all on cockface for the win. It'll rain.

[Dadpole]

Most of my remaining fortune has gone in an each-way on Rossi. If I end up with nowt then I will be able to go back to cheering for my favoured riders rather than hoping my bet-on rider comes in. That was certainly the case last round when MM had my money but Dovi had my vocal support. :crazy:

[Autech]

Yup if I still had some to bet I would be throwing it on Rossi for the win. But I don't so now I will just hope Dani gets his usual lightening start and hangs up front till their tyres poo out

A brilliant race from Dovi. I had Rossi for a podium as a backup so only lost one dollar overall. Now on $32.20. I live for the next round where I may chuck it all on one rider again.

I am not so sure about that myself. It has certainly been fun, but I nearly went schitsophrenic during the Austria race.

"Come on Dovi. Don't let that Spanish bastard beat you... No. Let him past. I have money on him....." :eek:

[Dadpole]

In my continuing quest to turn $100 into nothing I have slapped $2 on Crashlow for a podium and the remaining $30 on Dovi for the same.

Who knows how (or when) this endeavour will end.... :shit:

What a bummer there Crasher. I was gutted myself to see Lorenzo crash out - even with him threatening my Dovi investment.

Now on $51.20. More than half what I started with and better than I expected.:banana:

Fuck bet you were sweating when Dani was on the charge and the various times MM nearly binned it! Ragged edge stuff and great to watch! Could tell he wasn't 100% happy with the bike and pretty sure he cooked his front tyre a few times there.

If only Dani could have got ahead of him to keep his title chances live! As it is he needs a DNF from MM and to win all the remaining races, which he won't be able to do as he's weak at PI. Fair odds on him winning Motegi and Malaysia though.

I stuck 25 on Danni for a podium ans 1 on some git riding slowly. Now on $87.70. :headbang:

$1700 from an initial $100.. That is mighty impressive there Crasher. A better rate of return than an Auckland property speculator. Don't expect to get a Chrissy card from the TAB though. :cool:

Hahahaha...been very lucky on more than one occasion. I reckon you can bet the lot on MM at Philip Island too... :msn-wink:

[Autech]

So TAB gave me 5 more dollars and insisted I spend it, so it now sits on Dovi for the championship at $11

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

[Dadpole]

They did the same to me a while back. It is outside the 100 dollar thing, so I put it on Rossi for the champs. Less than a week later he broke his leg. Beware the curse of the Dadpole :eek5:

[Dadpole]

The TAB did the $5 carrot thing again. They must be worried that a star loser had stopped betting. I popped it on Dovi for the championship.

Back to the betting challenge. $40 on Dovi for a podium. Other bet(s) will be closer to race time. A Espargaro ($81 - $17) looks very racey and has learned how to do a whole race these days. Hmmmm....

Aleix Espagaro did something that no other rider ever did, put a CRT bike on the podium in the rain at Assen and used to regularly beat full spec Motogp bikes on it. Dude can pilot a bike properly. Chuck a cheeky few bucks on him for the podium I reckon, I would be if I had not blown it all on Lorenzo lol

[Crasherfromwayback]

Cunt. Thought I was in the money there for a bit.

- $100.00 on Petrucci. At $26.00 it would've been nice.

[Dadpole]

That was nearly an inspired choice Crasher. "Missed it by that much"...

I had 40 on Dovi for place and 7 on A Espargaro (to round out my account). Now on 140.70 - curse the 70 cents.

That was edge of the seat stuff. I should have been shouting "Settle down Dovi. Think of the 20 points and my $40" Instead it was "Ram the Traitor Puta out of the way".:devil2:

MM thinks only of winning races this year, unlike the MM of last year who didn't have the complete bike to do so so settled down, this year the Honda is dialled in to his style big time again, like 2014 but without the others doing shit

[Dadpole]

No bets from me this round. I was planning to wager on Zarco but the fucking TAB page was closed every time I tried on Saturday.

Try to give my money away and no bastard wants it.......

[Crasherfromwayback]

I'm spewing. Was gonna do $200.00 on MM while he was at $2.00, but when I went back in to do it, he'd dropped to $1.57. Wasted a lazy $50.00 on Crazy Joe for a podium.

Crazy Joe was an ok bet, I think the Yams caught us all out with their turnabout in pace, both of the Movi bikes could have won if crazy joe didn't go all Stukka on them I think. I had money on CC for the win as TAB gave me $5 back to waste.

I feel that MM will be Mr Sensible this weekend and not risk too much (by his standards). Dovi is the one who has to win...

Zarco is at $4 for a podium. The forecast is wet (surprise) and I think he will pull out all stops this weekend. If he looks OK in FP1 then I will have to bet on him.

Only 2 races left and $140 to lose. :laugh:

Well, Dovi did win there last year. BUT, I reckon MM will want to win it this weekend and wrap it all up, and go hard out to do so, knowing even a DNF won't be too much of a prob heading to Valencia for the last round.

Only if it's wet but even so I'm hoping the extra grip of the track will help him. Bold call for you hope you didn't bet too much on it :D

Especially as MM has never beaten DP there...

Edit: Correction, MM beat him in 2014 after he'd been torpedo'd I think (can't remember by who) and was suffering arm pump.

Wonder what the odds are on MM being torpedo'd and AD winning to give us a showdown next round? I never wish a racer to crash but an engine failure wouldn't be too bad to wish for again would it?

As a guy in the 50kg range that eats a fuck tonne of pies I can assure you that doesn't help much, my metabolism just turns it into energy and poos.
Not 100% true about the fatties too as CC and JM both can't ride that bike in the wet which makes 3 known wet riders struggling on the Honda.

My metabolism turned it into energy and poo also. I used to hover around 80 - 82 kg but old age (61) has caught up and now am 87 (as of yesterday at Doc) and have a little wobbly belly.

Back to racing. If MM wins, I get a payout. If Dovi wins and MM DNF then we are all winners with a Spanish Showdown.

[Dadpole]

And that did not go well - for me anyway. At least Dovi has a slim chance in Spain.

I had put another $40 on MM for a podium. Trying to cover my arse really. So that worked out well too:

40 for a win @ $2.75 and 40 for a podium @ $1.75 on Marquez
10 for a podium @ $3.90 on Zarco
10 for a podium @ $17.00 on Rins

It was painful watching the last laps though. I wanted Lorenzo to get on the second step for a good race (and a Dovi lifeline) and at the same time park it so my wallet didn't suffer.

At least Zarco did the biz.

Now on $79.70

I note the TAB are paying $1.04 on Marquez for the title. Looks a pretty safe bet too. I note one of the banks was offering an interest rate of 3.95% for a year and you pay tax on the interest. If I was a rich bastard I would be tempted by 4% in one week and no tax with Marquez.....

Yeah he's going to have to work hard to win the title Dovi, even if MM is off the pace and falls off the likes of Pedrosa, Rossi and Maverick aren't going to step aside and let him win I think.

Pedrosa
Lorenzo
Zarco
All paying well for the win so well worth a flutter for those that haven't squandered all there coin

I have dropped $39 on Pedrosa for a podium. That leaves me $40 (because I can't use the 70 cents) to play with. I will see who looks the part after a FP or two. Dovi is 4.50 for a win. I don't see him going 2nd or 3rd if he is within seeing distance of first. Win or bin.

[Dadpole]

$20 on Zarco at $4 for a podium. The final $20 will go when the TAB gets the race up. I should have put it on Marquez when he was $3.50 for a win. He looks like he will romp home as long as he survives the first few corners...

A bonus of $66.50 after being down to (I think) $20 at one point. I think I would be on for next year too. Anyone else in? I imagine Crasher would be unless he has retired to the South of France on his winnings.
