    I agree with most of it, except for Kovalainen, who's ahead of Fisi...and I would pay less money for Jarno :

    Adrian Sutil 501
    Anthony Davidson 501

    This is from another site that I'm not going to name. (Advertising and all that. What with all the porn, I'm in enough trouble as it is )

    A couple of things surprise me.

    JB is above both Renault's.
    RB is nowhere.
    Ant is 501.

    Just a thought. If for whatever reason, JB cannot compete, would the Ant be seconded into a car that could potentially win the WDC with odds of 501?

    I might put a quid on for a laugh.

    The bookies are guessing just like the rest of us. The only difference is people give them money for their guesses and they don't have to give much back :

    Well, realistically there are only 5-6 drivers, who might think about challenging for the title and the odds for others are just a formality, which doesn't need too much wondering.

    I sometimes wonder who sets these odds. It seems very presumptious to rank Kovalainen above Fisichella, for example. The Finn is inexperienced, and I'd be suprised if he overshadows Fisi.

    In my local market Webber is worth $101 which is a preety good value for mine.

    Im going to put $10 on it, it's a nothing bet. Unlikely he'll go anywhere but who knows. Considering RBR werent using their correct rear wing at Valencia I think they may surprise a couple of people.

    Their 2007 aero kit is running a couple weeks behind, great for those wanting to put a bet on now with their current performance!
