God those are some great odds. I seem to remember they shortened after the Brawn was quickest in their first preseason practice session, right? So some of you put a bet down before that session? That's pretty ballsy, no wonder it paid so well.

I think i put mine down on the day of the first test they had with other teams. Think i had a day off come to think about it, so was keeping an eye all the time. I don't think the odds dropped really until the next day when all the reports came out about brawn running sensable fuel etc.

Holy Mackerel! :shock:

That's a huge amount!

Well done to all that got large sums of money on a seemingly impossible bet this time last year. Good foresight.

Edit: Removed my idiotic question :D
