I've got €2.10 left in my Bet365 account after a **** day of football, so I'll stick €1.05 each-way on Felix Rosenqvist @13/2 (1/3 odds for 2nd) with Bet365 in the Montreal ePrix, which starts at 9pm.

Rosenqvist ruins his chances by tapping the wall exiting the final corner, RIP my €2.10.

€5 on Vettel to win the Hungarian GP & Hamilton to set the fastest lap @17/5 with #WhatOddsPaddy.

Also, €1 on Wehrlein & Grosjean to retire, Ricciardo to finish on the podium and Hülkenburg to score points @45/1 with Hills' #YourOdds.

PopePalpatine

Final pick for the race: €7 on Ricciardo to finish on the podium @3/1 with Hills.

My first pick of the week (copied from the Racing Post :pac:) - €4 on Thierry Neuville to win Rally Finland @7/2 with Betsafe.

Neuville is about a minute-and-a-half off overall leader Lappi with only a 10km power stage left to go, this one's a write-off.

One last bet for Hungary - €2.50 on Bottas e/w @12/1 (1/3 odds for 2nd) with Betstars. I think he can get the jump on Raikkonen by starting on the cleaner side of the grid.

Time to re-invest that €9 from Betsafe in some dark horses in the points-scoring market: €4 on Kevin Magnussen @9/4, and €5 on Stoffel Vandoorne @33/20.

The Flying Waffle provides the only silver lining for this atrocious weekend.

Feck it, it worked out the last two times I bet on the local hero in Indycar, €2.50 e/w on Columbus, Ohio native Graham Rahal to win the Honda Indy 200 @9/1 (1/4 odds for a podium finish) with Bet365.

I thought of betting on Vergne in the Formula E finale, but like I did with Ricciardo in the Azerbaijan GP, I dithered.

Another Reddit-inspired bet for tomorrow, €3 on Rossi to win the Czech MotoGP @5/1 with 188bet.

I'll also cover myself with €4 on Crutchlow to finish on the podium @3/1 & €1 on him to win @20/1, both with Bet365. There's some chance of rain tomorrow, and that's the weather in which he claimed his maiden MotoGP win at this very circuit last season.

PopePalpatine

No luck, if only the weather was the other way around (a dry start but rain after 5 or so laps)...and if only Rossi listened to his team. :mad:

I'm probably going to regret betting on an oval race, but feck it, €3 e/w on Simon Pagenaud in the ABC Supply 500 @6/1 (1/4 odds for a podium finish) with Bet365. It's either going to be a Ganassi or a Penske car which wins today, and Pagenaud looked decent in practice.

No luck, maybe if it was the ABC Supply 502.5 he could have snatched 3rd from Rossi.

Time to look ahead to this weekend's Belgian GP, one of my early leans for the race is for Bottas to beat Vettel @19/20 with Bwin, and a Mercedes double podium finish @9/10, also with Bwin.

PopePalpatine

My first picks (all with Bwin):

• €3 on Ocon to finish top 6 in the 1st practice session @5/2
• €6 on Sainz to score points @7/4
• €10 on Sainz to beat Stroll @17/20

The bets on Sainz are pretty much me gambling on a wet race. He finished 6th in the downpour of last year's Brazilian GP, and I think he'd easily have the measure of Stroll around here.

As for Ocon, I think the Force Indias will do well here, and I think he's good value to sneak into the top 6 tomorrow morning.

PopePalpatine

No luck with Ocon, but on the bright side, Sainz has shortened to 6/4 to score points after a decent P1.

€3 on the local hero Max to finish top 3 in qualifying @6/1 with Bwin.

PopePalpatine

50c e/w on Max to take pole @66/1 (1/3 odds for the top 2) with Coral, and €5 on him to finish on the podium @10/3 with Paddy.

PopePalpatine

Max only qualified 5th, and accordingly he's drifted out to 15/4 on Betfair Exchange.

Max screws me over again, but more importantly, Sainz held off Stroll to keep 10th place!

PopePalpatine

My first bet for this weekend's Italian GP is €5 on neither McLaren to finish @9/2 with Bwin. McLaren have announced Alonso will use the same engine from Belgium, where he also failed to finish, and I don't have high hopes for Vandoorne either at the "cathedral of speed".

Also, former US Grand Prix venue Watkins Glen is hosting IndyCar this weekend, and I think Scott Dixon is attractive @7/2 with BetStars. He holds the record for most IndyCar/CART/IRL wins at the track (4), including winning last year's event from pole, and races for the team with the most wins at this track, that of Chip Ganassi.

PopePalpatine

€5 in-play on Lewis Hamilton to finish top in the 3rd practice session @13/8 with Bet365, this is typically when teams do their practice for qualifying, and Lewis has dominated that so far.

He didn't even set a laptime. :rolleyes:
