MotoGP $100 betting challenge 2017

[Autech]

This challenge is for bragging rights to see who can use their knowledge to gain financially from this years MotoGP season, the winner will be the person who has gained the most or lost the least from their initial $100 buy in. I might be able to drum up a box or bottle for the winner at the end of the season providing my venture into self employment does not leave me bankrupt.

Basically how it works is each participant will open a TAB account with $100 at the beginning of the season. You do not need to reveal your bets before the race weekend if you don't want to but it will make for interesting debates I'm sure.

Periodically if you could update the thread with your account balance and I'll keep a leaders board going on below this post to track who is doing the best.

Side bets are welcome in the usual form of alcohol delivered humbly to the winner, I can keep track of these also if you wish.

Anyone with some suggestions on how to improve this let me know.

Can I swap out beer for KFC?

I'll also chip in $10 to the winner's choice of beer/ chicken.

Throw me in

Dovi for race 1 (8 to 1)

Pity I cant bet on Lowes crashing out...

Yeah bit silly of them considering he's been mere seconds off winning the past 3 years. I've gone for a weighted approach betting a few bucks on a few of the guys I think likely to win

It would make more sense to wait until a few races in before throwing money around, but I feel that would be against the spirit of this wager.

It will be interesting to see how the odds change as practice and qualifying take place. As you may have noticed, I am a total novice at this betting thing.

9 different winners in 10 races last season, or some such. :psst: I'm putting names in a hat and watching the weather.
I'm the worlds worst gambler, if I just pick a winner they win. The moment I place a stake they get struck by lightning or contract Ebola.

[Drew]

Yip yip, I'm down.

Been a stressful couple weeks and haven't gone and made a TAB account yet. I'll do it on the morrow.

Yep total novice too. Never gambled in my life since I lost $20 on a Timezone machine when I was in high school.

Seems outright championship winner TAB closes on 26th and Qatar GP bet finishes just before it starts (tomorrow 4am?).

All of this is just for giggles. Plus, like share markets, your decision is only based on information given at that time so nothing to bash about when you find yourself bet on the wrong horse the next day. That's the fun of it I guess? :sunny:

[EJK]

$10 on Rossi Qatar FTW :cool:

I'm hopeful for either Marquez or Rossi this weekend, unless Pedrosa does some awesome riding with soft tyres.

Lorenzo... Well he's a bit of a wildcard and hasn't proven anything on Ducati just yet. So not betting on him.

[Dadpole]

Why can't we have a more flexible betting system. I would put money on Bautista finishing the season inside the top 10.

[Autech]

I sold a GN250 rear wheel for $100 which didn't cost me that much. So I feel I've won already lol.

Brilliant. I have an anchor here (A real anchor - for a boat - not a Harley/Guzzi/BSA) that I will chuck on Tardme. That will mollify the wife when Tito Rabat beats my pick over the finish line every time.

They guy turned up, looked at it, I said how much you wanna pay, he goes $100, I go yeah! I was a decent sort though and chucked him the matching front wheel as he left cause I wanted it gone lol.

He building a dope custom Honda CT50 and is going to used the rear wheel from the GN for the front of the moped and another rear on the back, showed me a pic it's a cool looking beast.

If starting from this grid then I think Maverick can be a real good winning contender.

Damn, I think I lost my bet on Rossi. But never say never they say.

Throw your money on Tito Rabat. The chances are slim, but the payout is enormous. :yes:

That is the sensible option. Qatar and Argieland are a bit of a lottery. Unless Marquez every bone he possesses, he should be favourite for COTA.

and hedged on
MV @ 3.20 to cover if the others did not perform. So basically ended up back at $100, not sure if it's smart betting but it did the job :D
AD was paying $8 so I nearly made some good coin on that.

My actual account ballance is $101.40 as I put in extra to cover a credit card fee which they never charged... So if it comes close at the end we will minus $3 off to work out the winner.

I'm not planning on betting big until I reach the rounds with clear favourites.

The curse of Dadpole strikes. Dovi may have won without the burden of my $10.00 slowing him. Down to $90 now - but I was nearly $80 up...

That was a good educated bet mate. I honestly thought Dovi had the pace over race distance in the conditions but Maverick was just a bit too cool to beat.

I may have to be cautious about Argieland. A bet om Marquez should be safe for COTA though.

I think Rossi would be worth a small bet at Argie just going off previous form there.
Wouldn't be surprised to see an Aprilia on the podium if the grip is as low as in previous years. No way to know just yet though of course.

[Dadpole]

How late can you place a bet at the TAB? Ideally, I would like to put my money down after FP3. Lower odds of course, but a better idea of who is in contention.

[Autech]

Pretty sure they update the odds over the weekend as each contender shows their cards

I will give this weekend a miss. Too many variables to risk hard cash for me. I will save my powder for Austin. Marquez will be low odds there, but probably worth a decent wager.

Haha, you never know the great thing about winning streaks is that they must always come to an end...

[Dadpole]

It certainly will if I put money on him!

On the basis that surely I can't be wrong all the time, I will throw some on Marky (if he does OK in Argieland).

[Autech]

Betting is up, I've snuck in some cheeky bets just in case the weather isn't great, long range forecast is ok but ya never know.
Will wait till the practices to see whats up for the win though

The odds on the Yamaha pair are tempting. Rossi paying 5 is VERY tempting. Vinales on 3.25 looks a pretty good return. I may have to consult the tea leaves

I'm beginning to wonder if I won't win this by simply not betting.

Just put a dollar long shot bet down each race. End of season even if none come in you still have over 80 and win.

Bollocks. Why did I not think of that. :confused:

I nearly put a bet on MM but decided too many unknowns and one very big known - MV. Was glad I didn't!
One of my long shots wasn't that far off, $1 on CC paying $41.

Vin is showing the form to white wash them all atm, going to be silly to bet against him in any round one would think.

[Autech]

Poke who? Texas holdem or GTFO.

According to Drew the best way to minimise risk is to wear a rubber whilst fucking your neighbors wife.

I've done ok so far, I'm the only one to actually get paid out on a bet with MV in Qatar, I just lost out by putting too high wildcards on the ones I lost, in future I'll only be putting $1 on the riders I think have an outside chance, it would only take getting it right once to race ahead.
I'll bet big once I'm more sure but putting $1 on CC and $1 on JM was hardly a big risk with the weather forecast?

[Dadpole]

Looks like a fairly sound strategy. If it is anything like last year, then the outsiders would provide the best returns.

I am toying with a system of putting rider photos out on sticks and seeing which one the magpies attack first.:scratch:

I'm hoping the bookies will give good odds on MV next race counting on MM's record there, will definitely be worth chucking a tenner on him and $3+

[Autech]

So TAB is up and MM is up for $3 for the win, MV at 1.70.
Can't see there ever being better odds than that even though I suspect MV will win, definitely worth getting in early if you are betting on MM.
AD is paying quite well too but I think the corner combination might be a bit too much for the Duc in its current state.

[EJK]

OK I've made a few small bets on my fav riders. Biggest bet goes to MM.

[Dadpole]

MM paying $3 is worth a 10 spot for me. I think those are quite generous odds.

Ladbrokes in the UK are:
M Marquez 6/5
M Vinales 7/4
V Rossi 9/2
A Dovizioso 14/1

Lorenzo at $31 may get a 5 if he shows promise during free practice:devil2:

[Drew]

I really don't think MM s previous history at the track counts for fuck all.

[Dadpole]

True. Each year is starting afresh so to speak, so last year is just history.

Marquez (to me) looked good in the previous two races and needs to stop the rot before the point difference gets much higher. I think he can do it this weekend.

[EJK]

I really don't think MM s previous history at the track counts for fuck all.

He's fast and steady like Lorenzo's best days. He seems a reliable bet. As long as he doesn't crash out (like Argentina) he's got a good chance of winning I think.

Jorge rides smooth, Marquez let's the bike squirrel under him.

MM is all over the show with his lap times. But his bad laps are still faster than the rest.

Thanks to Marquez I got some money back.

$104 for me. Bet 5 each on DP and MM. DP came close to making me $90 till his tyres turned to shit.

So Dadpole takes the lead, nice work mate!

I'm still playing it cautiously hoping for a small bet big pay out punt. Will start betting larger soon. I'm doing a lot of my betting early in the week going off current form, weather forecasts and previous results as my bench mark. Will start betting larger bets during the race weekend as we go on though I think.

Probably the best method this early in the season. I think that large bets on an almost dead cert will be the way to go. You get a low payout but a lower chance of waving goodbye to your wager.

IF I have anything left at Austria, I would probably throw a large slice on a Ducati. (But which one?:msn-wink:)

My $5 on Dani @ $18 was looking good for a fair amount of the race, but that was going off his previous form at the track when he's actually raced and not fallen off/taken out Dovi. He's been the closest ever to beating MM there.

Nice work Crash. That's one way to earn a few dollas! Wish I'd grown a pair and laid 100 on MM for the win. I'd have made a nice $200 rather than the $10 that I did.
Only other race that might be as certain is one of the Doocaits at the Red Bull ring. AD most likely.

As for Drew laying it all on MM at PI, lets not forget he got his ass whooped by a satellite Honda in the dry there last year.

Cheers. It's unusual. I normally just donate money to their slush fund. But this season has been the easiest one to predict since Stoner blew them all away in 2007. That was money in the bank most rounds. MM was blowing them away at PI till he threw it away mate. He'll blow them into the weeds this year. :msn-wink:

I didn't realise I mistakenly bid twice on MM FTW @ $10. But I did bid correctly on Pedrosa and Lorenzo finishing in top 3. Lorenzo's bid was strong @ 8. Imagine if MM caught up to DP and finished MM, DP, and JL. I'd been able to buy a Ferrari* today!!

Also had chucked couple of gold coins on CC and Zarco. Shoulda put in my piggy bank instead.

Round #4: $113. Pleased to get back into 3 figures.

Of course, he'd happily give up one of his final cracks at the title to hand it over to that little puta lol. Great to see him a JL getting along it seems, they used to fucking hate each other but JL gave him a hug when we was welling up on the podium.

So I made $120 all thanks to Dani, he's paying $10 for the title and I'd love to see him win it and seriously think he has a good shot.....
Do I bet big on him finally coming through?

No. May as well set fire to your money.

[Dadpole]

I wasn't confident in Pedrosa winning, and paying $1.90 for a podium was a joke.

On reflection $100 on him would have been a 'double you money' for little risk. :confused:

Lol, well guess I just did that then didn't I?

DP champion 2017. MM his bitch in every race just CS was his bitch in 250's.

In all seriousness though I have absolutely no hunches to go off for the Le Mans, with the new surface, JL doing ok, MV and VR struggling and a few decent straights we should see some interesting podium contenders I think.
MM is bloody strong braking into that fast right left at the beginning of the track but if the tyre isn't hard enough he might just cook it. Another exciting race to look forward to I think. Might be my turn to do a Drew.

[Dadpole]

No punters for Le Mans? I have been a tad distracted so FP3 was the first time I had a serious look. If you can pick a winner from that then you are a much better man than me.

I've put money on Zarco, DP and JL for podiums. Unsure of winner but chucked down a cheeky 5er on Dani earlier on in the week. If Zarco podiums I'm get back the money I lost on the other bets. I try not to bet on the VR, MV n MM as their odds are never worth a small bet.

Likewise, small bets (<$5) this race for me too.

Feels like I already lost a gold coin on Lorenzo. What was I thinking when I made that bet...

Yeah he's quick but I honestly think CC, JM, or both the asparagus brothers would be doing just as well on that 2016 spec Yam bike.
Even JZs humble enough to admit the bike is giving him the goods to perform and he needs to do it justice, which yesterday he sure did. He might just win one this year though, though where that might be I'm not sure as the momentum will start to shift the factory bikes way as the year develops. Yamaha need to jump in quick n secure him with some go faster bits so he keeps them in mind come 2019.

The way I see it is that MV, MM and VR are the podium contenders. I think the only way anyone else could podium will be a DNF among the top 3.

I may put a speculative $10 on Dovi though as he is no stranger to the podium there. FP 1 & 2 will tell.

VR is in "Severe pain" right now. If he does make it on the grid I'm not sure he'll be able to podium which leaves one spot for:
DP, AD, JL, CC and JZ to fight over.

Better off putting the bets down now IMO and letting the fates decide. If you wait too long you have to risk more to get the same result...
Looking back over the years JL has a brilliant record there, MM has had mixed results with a few DNFs, Mugello is a track where the front is pushed very hard and we all know what happens when MM cooks his front...

[Dadpole]

That's true...but by then, if he does good, your odds will go through the floor.

Therein lies the dilemma. Do I jump now or wait until FP1? If I do wait, then is FP1 a true indicator of his form? Is this why they call this gambling? :confused:

Do it now. You know you want to.

[Dadpole]

I did it now. As in, I plonked 10 on MM (Don't forget, I am a poor rural peasant). I will probably throw something on an outsider after the FP session.

The way I look at this is that, not being a betting type, I have $100 for the season. My goal is to have at least that at the end. $110 would be a 10% return which is more than any poxy bank would give.

Others may differ but I'm an investor type of a person too. I'll probably never "win big" but any return above 10% is good enough in my books.

Put $100 in your bottom drawer and get it out after the last race if that is your attitude. Your $10 profit over a season is a single decent beer, or a 12 pack of Speights, you are missing the whole point of gambling. The going from $2 left in the account to being up $800 due to some ginger wizard, and then the next round being down to $20 due to some Spanish twat. And then $5,000 in credit the week after due to a bit of rain and some mouthy Australian. Who then falls off on the last lap putting you back down to coinage only. Fuck man, it is all about the ride, not the ten bucks.

Can you do no wrong there Crasher? You are the exact opposite of me.

Last race I put:

10 to win on Marquez before FP1. He bimbles around for 6th place
10 for podium on Pedrosa. He bimbles around mid-field until he rams Crutchlow amidships then has a lie-down in the gravel.
2 for a speculative podium on Folger. He has been a consistent performer this season until the curse. He was in last place a couple of laps in and has his worst placing of the year.
2 for another speculative podium on A Espargaro. He too has been fast - if erratic. This time, he has a jump start and ride through, a trip through the gravel and finally retired when his pit board told him that Dadpole had put money on him.

Good odds on JL for a podium at the mo. Considering the last track he had tested at was Jerez and he did well there I think it's work a fling early on before his practice pace throws it down lower.

MV may be, but if the grip is as low as they think at the track the Honda will excel as it has no grip to lose.

MM fastest in all three sessions, and still paying $3.75. Get busy people.

MM is fastest but looks very unstable. The Yamaha duo are all at sea and looking like another weekend in mid-field.

The forecast is for dry and very hot. Some (me included) might call it Pedrosa weather. I put 10 on him and a couple on Bautista. I hope I have not nobbled young Alvaro as I think he is capable of being a regular at the sharper end of the field.

A disaster for me. I couldn't make up my tiny mind so only put a few tiny bets on outsiders - who finished well outside as the rain held off. The wife muscled in and put $6 (of MY money) on Rossi to win. :shit:

Now sitting on $74.00

[EJK]

Alright give me the numbers

[Crasherfromwayback]

Alright give me the numbers

- $50.00 on Miller

- $50.00 on Zarco

-$50.00 on MM

Satan's Bottom!

[Dadpole]

Satan's Bottom indeed. Zarco looked so good for a while too. That early dive into the pits for the wet bike would have been hailed as the work of a genius - if it had rained.....

[Autech]

$10 on Rossi for the win at $4.
A few $1 and $2 bets lost on some outsider options incase the rain it hard.

Still up though now at 65.90 :woohoo:

Cheers to my boi Rossi. #GOAT #VR46 #lorenzoaintgotsheit #yellowarmy

Should be updated.

I like the way that Crasher needs his own graph... :clap:

Need a toilet for it shortly.

[Autech]

All in on 3 different bets. 1 big one for the win and two covering ones with should pay off if my hunch is correct.

BRING ON THE NOISE!

[Dadpole]

Rins is paying 151 for a podium. I suspect it is a TAB cockup, but it has not changed since yesterday.

Pre FP1, I would have to go with MM. He is so good around here. Dare I put some on Crutchlow for a podium???

[Dadpole]

$44 wagered (with help of wife) across what seems like half the field. I even planted 10 on Miller for a top 3.

If it all turns to poo that leaves $30 for the second half of the season. :laugh:

[Autech]

Attention betting gurus.

Petrux is paying $10 for a win still, worth a few bucks.

That is all

[Autech]

Oh and Dani is still paying $7. L

[Crasherfromwayback]

Safest bet since Texas. $100.00 x $2.50 please.

Just one bid? No loss?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Just one bid? No loss?

Yep. No. Thought anything but MM would be a loss. Would've put way more on him if it wasn't for the fact I found a fuel tank for my SR that needed to be purchased.

[Autech]

I was betting on Dani's past form and my love of the rider. Seems like he had the pace in FP but couldn't stay in the 21s with Jonas and MM. Still hedged on him making the podium so only lost $10 for my efforts which was the figure I put on CC for a podium. If he'd have won I'd be at the TAB right now getting some much needed coin to keep my new business afloat lol.

$55.90, not bad considering I had bet all my coin.

[Dadpole]

I am down to 56.20

MM and Pedrosa saved me after chucking a bit on Dove. The hilarious part is that on Friday I put $10 on Folger for a podium then hit the wrong button and cancelled. I noticed the cockup later but chucked it on Miller instead. :facepalm:

Seems you and Autech has been bidding the same for the past three races.

[Dadpole]

I also has $2 on Rins, $2 on Rossi and wife put $5 on Vinales. I think we had covered half the field so we had to have one pay off..:nya:

[Autech]

So no bastard bet on Jonas fucking Folger? Bet he was getting some damn good odds too!

Cheers mate! Amazing that!

[Dadpole]

Now I have a month off to get into fighting(betting) trim. Raw eggs for breakfast followed by a long run - OR ask the wife for tips as she is the one picking the winners at my place. :weep:

If it's any help...I reckon a Ducati will win in Austria! :baby:

Eo-no-ne won it on GP16 which Petrucci currently rides sans wings, right? Dovi looks very strong this season. I think he has a good chance of winning.

[Dadpole]

I suspect my wager will change that. :yes:

[Dadpole]

Aaaaand - the wait is over. Now back to making the TAB richer. I have $2 on Lorenzo to win at $26. A long shot I am sure.

Did anyone else get a $5 freebie (and four days to use it)from TAB? I assumed their software identified a mug punter who had not placed a bet for a couple of weeks and they wanted to entice me back on the losers treadmill.

[Crasherfromwayback]

All I can afford is/was $50.00 on MM @ $2.80.

Been buying too many RV's.
