'Any Other Driver' to win European Grand Prix (50/1), vcbet.com

Victor Chandler have formed the following market on the European Grand Prix at Valencia.

Felipe Massa 11/10
Lewis Hamilton 15/8
Kimi Raikkonen 4/1
Robert Kubica 9/1
Heikki Kovalainen 20/1
Nick Heidfeld 80/1
Fernando Alonso 100/1
Any Other Driver (other than 7 quoted) 50/1

I think 'The Field' is a great bet for the following reasons: -

- Possible rain (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0205&links)
- Toyota/Toro Rosso are making significant progress (Toyota are close to catching BMW in performance)
- Narrow road track (similar to Montreal) makes a safery car likely (1/4 chance)

All these factors increases the 'randomness of the result. I tried to have 2pts at Victor Chandler, but was limited to 1pt.

N.B. Is it just me, or is anyone else haing problems getting bets on with bookies - it seem all my bets are now being limited. It makes me laugh when you hear that bookies are apparantly prepared to stand £10K bets!

Chris,

Recently had the opportunity to listen to the head of a non-UK bookie. He said sports betting was hard to make money out of, and I think he didn't just mean from the punter point of view. The limits they put on you do seem petty though.
