YOU BET GAME - 2017

[The Pits]

I like the current format just fine.

The only thing I could think of for a change would be to have a fixed stake per race, and bank any winnings, so for example, if each player bets 20 per race, either each way or for the win (Each way would be a 10 stake) then the winnings are used to keep score, you could also maybe allow a spread bet of 10 on drier x and 10 on driver y.

I think that live odds would not be right, I like the fixed odds view, it removes the need to keep checking back, and I think that tracking changes to odds and therefore peoples bets would be a bit of a nightmare for the fine chap who runs the game.

I think you should tweak the rules to send flowers of commiserations to whichever driver I place a bet on for the Australian Grand Prix. To be fair Ricciardo did better than my last year's bet of Kvyat and actually made it into the race he was just 2 laps down.

I'm pretty sure I went Kvyat in 2015 as well and he didn't make the start that day either.

I may quit now, i think ive peaked!!

Why don't you put it all on Lance Stroll.

 

[Titch]

10/ew on Bottas please.

Fixed amounts per race is probably more realistic too. If you've got (say) £200 then you're unlikely to put the lot on the first race but to spread it over the season. It's a less painful way of losing £200!

Live odds is just too complicated I think. I'm not sure odds tend to change that much in the week or two after one race and before the next anyway? [edit] I guess the odds change mainly from FP1 onwards when we get an idea of who's quickest at the track, plus an idea of the likely raceday weather etc.

Why don't you put it all on Lance Stroll.

He is the joint leader on overtakes for the season after all.

 

[Jos the Boss]

EACH WAY! I MEANT EACH WAY!

I clearly meant no way...

20Bros on #BO77AS

Moot point now but just to clarify I didn't mean live odds per person, just per game.

 

[Hamberg]

Do a DRS style system. Whoever is in the lead by their own luck/skill gets overtaken by the guy behind, just because. Which means The Artist..... is now in front, right?

 

[Legs]

I'm fine with the prospect of jez being a runaway winner, the result being a foregone conclusion, and the interest lying solely in the battle for the minor placings... After all, that's kind of what F1 is all about, isn't it?

Omg I'm the new Bernie
How the fuck did that happen!

 

[cider_and_toast]

You're his Scottish cousin "McBernie"

 

[The Artist.....]

Omg I'm the new Bernie
How the **** did that happen!

However, just remember, when Liberty Media takes over the running of the game, you will be hidden away, never to be heard of again...

In that instance you'll be made honorary chairman of the You Bet operational strategy committee - biscuit planning department sub group.

I'm just pleased to be making a good show, especially based on how last years prize fund was unfairly shared out.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Random You Bet sprinklers will be introduced from Bahrain onwards.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Pascal is out. Giovinazzi is in. Same odds if you fancy it. 3000/1

 

[Greenlantern101]

change to €2.50 e.w. On Giovinazzi. I've got a feeling.

 

[The Pits]

Please may i put 50 e/w on Daamy Ricc? 100 stake.

 

[Hamberg]
