Ingsy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Have I just wasted £10?
I don't know many online gambling places, but of the few I do, only William Hill were stilling taking bets on the Drivers Championship. So I bet £10 on Schuey.

Would I have been better off throwing it at a homeless person? Or have I actually got a hope of winning some money back?

It's worth a punt. I was tempted myself!

I would suggest that you have just wasted a tenner, but it is your money to spend. Also if Schumacher does win the title, you'll be able to start a thread pointing out how short sighted cautious people like me are.

Depends on the odds. It is most likely that you will lose, but if the odds were 1000-1 then it was probably worth a punt. If it is 2-1 pn him winning, it was a waste!

The odds were 9:1. Not great given the circumstances, but as I said, I knoew few online bookies and Willy Hill was the only one still taking bets on it!

Its simple, if TGF wins it will be considered one of the most inspired betting choices ever made, if he fails however...

The thing is, I've already written the money off in my mind. But I've just got a feeling that he'll do it, somehow. Anyway, if I hadn't put any money on, and he'd have won, I'd kick myself for ages.
