Can't find any threads for this so I have started one
Barcelona this weekend
Just started to look at this as the market starts to develop and have a trade lined up already for Overall Qualifying Winner
Have Backed Jenson Button @ 15.5 with a view to trading out after Q2 as I am confident that he will make it into Q3, his price looks wrong to me as Hamilton is @ 6.8, Button has out qualified Hamilton in 3 of the 4 GP's so far..
Will be back later in the week with a few more possible trades as I have managed to do quite well in this market, in play it is a very good market to trade as it moves around quite a lot and if you can keep in front of the masses then you are onto a winner

Interesting 1st practice session in Spain
Button is second fastest behind Hamilton... his price has come in to 12.5 but there is not a lot of liquidity in th emrket and all of the money is sitting on the back side
Practice 2 is @ 2:00pm if he does well in that then a trade out may be on the cards

So practice 2 ends with the Red Bulls performing well, Jenson goes out to 20 and I have topped up my position.. we all know that practice sessions are not always the true indicator as to what will happen in qualifying.. I just hope I have got this one right

Well I didn't and there was never any doubt that Red Bull would have a car on the front of the grid, no money for Jenson and the market got it 100% right
Onwards and upwards now for tommorow, I will take a look at what the overall winner market has to offer and stick my thoughts up here

How can you trade on a sport like this when Ferrari decide which driver wins the race. I had backed Massa and layed Alonso with profit on both with a view to later trading out at the time of the team announcement and suddenly it all went haywire! Betfair pay out on the podium finish and I don't think Ferrari will be reimbursing me!

It's a bit like trading in horse races when there is a Barney Curly Runner
There was still plenty of time to profit from it though, when they played the radio message on tv the price on Alonso dropped but was still a big ish price of 1.7+ and as soon as Alonso took the lead it was around 1.06 but that happened over 1min later, that was the easiest trade of the day by far.peejay wrote:How can you trade on a sport like this when Ferrari decide which driver wins the race.

I haven't looked at F1 for ages, but Guardian's volume column opened my eyes to the liquidity, so got involved
Had a nice touch on Alonso to be leading after lap 1 - made £12 there, but lost £3 on race winner
Still, I'm happy enough with my £9

I've been looking at F1 trading this year (but actually have done none)!
But did have a look at the Button start in Italy based on the fact that he had better down force and thus more traction. My idea was to back pre-off and lay after first corner... watched the prices and he went from 4.8 to around evens in that time! It calculated at £132 profit off £100 trade... Wish I did it now! Just one for the mix!

Great end to the 2010 F1 season, had a very lucky speculative lay on Alonso(was banking on torro rosso/renault causing trouble for him at the pit stops, but in the end ferrari killed off their own chance)... who got passed in the first corner - the trade went immediately green and as the race progressed his title chances faded away very quickly but i find F1 very difficult to profit on so this only paid back some of the previous reds. Well done Vettel and well done Red Bull ! was a vintage season.
