Kimi's Odds @ 50/1

[bonjon1979]

Is there something going on with Kimi?

Only I'm surprised to see that his odds are 50/1 when he's in the same car as Vettel who is at 16/1. Alonso has much shorter odds of winning the championship at 16/1 and from everything we've been hearing Honda isn't going to suddenly be Uber competitive. I know Kimi has not been scintillating but there is no logic to have such a difference between him and his team mate. Have i missed something?

put a bet on him then

- You missed last 5 seasons perhaps, sorry
- Sports betting is the modern more sophisticated version of one ball three cups
- Odd are too good for both, the only Raikkonen's strength was Vettel's and competition's weakness, they collectively wasted every great opportunity (China, Spa, Spain, Canada, Malaysia) Ferrari had. What I'm trying to say is Ferrari lost another season before it began.

I just think with a big regulation change there's a chance that Merc's dominance may not be as great as it was and I'm not convinced that Red Bull will be as harmonious as they'll need to be to win the WDC.

Anyway, I've decided to put my money where my mouth is anyway and chucked down 20 on kimi! Might be wasted but I bet his odds will shorten after winter testing when Ferrari do their regular over promising during Winter testing!

[Facts Only]

They are likely factoring in the usual Ferrari tactic of betting on one horse (Vettel) so if the Scuderia do get a sniff at the WDC championship they will throw everything (including Kimi) behind him.

Yeah, true. A few retirements for him though and who knows. I mean, look at Rosberg this year just gone.

Probably a waste of £20 but hey ho.

People who bet on Donald Trump, Leicester City, Jeremy Corbyn and Britain Voting to Exit the EU probably thought that as well.

[FrukostScones]

wasn't VET just crowned champions of all champions? So how should RAI win against him

But maybe if Ferrari build a world beater and VET will DNF-a-lot, then RAI will be WDC. Or not haha.

[bonjon1979]

If it comes in I'll buy you all a drink.

Kimi is not the leading driver at Ferrari. Even if Ferrari was by far the best car, for Kimi to win the title, Vettel needs to miss some races from a penalty or injury or something.

Kimi has dissapointed me when he faced both Alonso and Vettel, but yours is probably a good strategy. At least if Ferrari can do something interesting in winter testing, that usual strategy they use wich is exactly the opposite to sandbagging will surely make the odds go down

Anycase Alonso with McHonda at same odd than Vettel with Ferrari speaks volumes about what people think Ferrari will do

What's Pastor at?
