Formula 1 betting

We are currently nine races into the 2013 Formula 1 motor racing season, which means the season is more or less at the halfway point – which can be an ideal time both to examine how things stand and for motor racing betting fans who haven’t put down outright bets on the winner to decide which driver they think will emerge on top. A lot of people will already have made their bets of course, but for those who are still trying to decide, which drivers are still in the frame to end up as the 2013 Formula 1 champion?

Well there isn’t much dispute when it comes to the favourites as defending champion Sebastian Vettel currently leads the standings by thirty four points from Fernando Alonso, which has also seen him earmarked as odds-on to win by the bookmakers – who have him at 1/4. Alonso is rated second by them at 9/2, which cannot be described as long odds, but realistically 1/4 makes Vettel an intimidating prospect to bet against. When you factor in his record of success and current points lead it will be a brave punter who defies those odds at this stage of the season, which means the more adventurous motor racing betting fan may actually find online casino games offer more excitement at the moment.

At www.luckynuggetcasino.com/au/online-pokies/ you have plenty such games to choose between, but one of the most unusual ones is the slots game 5 Reel Drive, which uses freeway races as a theme. This might all seem a little baffling to a British or European motor racing fan, as the reel icons here are very American – from the car models to the cops and hamburgers that populate the reels – but the overall effect has a pleasingly retro 1950s feel. Furthermore this is one slots game that really aims to maximise your chances of scoring a payout, with a wild icon (the road sign) taking the place of missing ones on your reel and a scatter (the cops) which will trigger automatic wins if you get three or more of them, so it’s a game that does its utmost to ensure you win.
