The Lotus is fast but the field's very competitive and Grosjean's not as reliable as he should be.Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402288610238485494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558661752392463861.post-29035832515232853352013-06-29T06:20:45.123+01:002013-06-29T06:20:45.123+01:00My early doors bet on the British Grand Prix is 2....My early doors bet on the British Grand Prix is 2.2 price, or 6/5, that Toro Rosso's Daniel Ricciardo finishes in the points (i.e. in the top 10), not the first time this season that I've placed such a bet.<br />His chances this time look distinctly more encouraging having finished top of the pile in P1, albeit in the rain, and then 6th in P2.<br />His credentials appear further supported by the encouraging performance of his team mate Jean-Eric Vergne who finished in 7th place in both practice sessions, suggesting that Toro Rosso are on or near to the required pace.<br /><br /> Separately and longer term, I placed a spread bet with Sporting yesterday - SELLING Grosjean's season's points at 103. Thus far his tally from the first 7 GPs is 26 points, representing an average of 3.7 points per GP. Extrapolating this for the full 19 GP season gives him 70 points. I think he'll probably do somewhat better than this but break even for me on this bet requires him to win a further 77 points (103-26) from the remaining 12 GPs, equivalent to 6.4 points per GP which looks like a big ask. I'll stop loss this bet should his BUY price increase to around 125 points. On the upside, I'll be tempted to cash in my chips should his BUY price fall to around the 90 point level.<br />Wish me luck!
