I've looked at the other popular Australian online betting shops and have decided Centrebet is not really the best for Formula 1, their prices are ok, but their range of options isn't so good - they don't have Constructor championship betting for example. So from now I'll use IAS, Sportingbet, Sportsbet, Centrebet or TABSportsbet. All of 'em. Same as what's used in the betting comp.

The quotes in my first post are still available, but Sportingbet has better prices on Fisichella at $26 and Alonso at $4. That won't last long. Neither will Renault winning the constructers championship at $3.80 and I've decided to plonk a few on that now while I can.

Contructors championship:
- Renault 6 @ $3.80 (22.8)

The average available price on Honda and Renault has gone down over the last week, and Ferrari has blown out a bit as anticipated.

McLaren has improved their car a lot over the last week or so, seemingly improving both reliability and speed. This isn't so good for our bets but this was always the danger. We're betting for value and sometimes that means not betting on the deserved favourite. I think the McLaren value will improve anyway. Renault still look very strong and Honda continue to look good too, so I'm not worried.

IAS has put their prices out for the first race at Bahrain but they seem to agree with me in their form assessment of the teams (Honda is a bigger favourite than Ferrari) so better value will come from others hopefully.

I'll be on Alonso to win at the best price possible and Fisichella for the podium. Will post my bets when I make 'em.
