Analysis of 2011 WDC and WCC odds

This is te raw data format that we get in a screen shot.
This is how I import the data by hand into my Excel table. Note how Sky is giving itself a huge overrun of 52% for the very long term bet.
And this is how it pans out in graphics. Vettel, Alonso and Hamilton are all rated top tier. Rosberg, Schumacher, Kubica, Webber and Button are tier two and the rest is also run. No big surprise is the top tier. I would have estimated that. Pretty shocking for their fans are the odds for Webber and Button. Rosberg is considered better than Schumacher which after this season is pretty realistic I would say.

I tell you what, its worth a bet on Massa at those odds.
I was thinking the same. He was very happy with the Pirelli tyres.

I doubt anyone is shocked by that.
JB has not looked like beating LH under ANY circumstances in 2010 without a very messed up race to benefit from good pit strategy.
MW might have been a threat to SV in 2011 and as such had slightly better odds than JB.
However...
1. SV has the WDC
2. MW is not at all comfortable in RBR
3. RBR have all winter to lay down the #2 play book for MW to follow
4. The more development RBR have done with SV as their template driver the less competitive MW has become.
Personally I am shocked JB and MW dont have lower odds.

I don't think that the cars need to be launched to represent the view of the betting money. At the moment this is probably just a starting point which is set by some experts at the betting firm. Later as more money enters they will set the odds in such a way that they reflect the total money that is put on the driver minus the house cut. We will recognize that by the way the favorites will drift apart prior to the cars coming out.We don't have a single 2011 car launched, so how can those odds be calculated?

That is some very advanced mathematics. For me three divided by one is still three and not four.you made a mistake when converting fractional odds into decimals. 3/1 is 4.00 (25%) etc
#14

It´s worth to bet on Webber at these odds. They are funny in thinking that now Mark is finished. With all the Red Bull fair play stuff it would suit Mateschitz very nicely if Webber becomes champion next year. Another round of great publicity for Red Bull.

3/1 means that for every 1 unit of money you put in the pot, the bookie puts 3 units of money in the pot.That is some very advanced mathematics. For me three divided by one is still three and not four.
It's because they are British, they have odd shaped heads.
#16
Posted 21 November 2010 - 16:28
No, I don't think so. The bookie never puts money into the pot. He only takes money out. It means for every unit of money you bet the bookie gives you three back if your bet turns out true.3/1 means that for every 1 unit of money you put in the pot, the bookie puts 3 units of money in the pot.

This are the initial odds for 2011. I will use William Hill instead of Sky UK in 2011 for the regional UK bookie. BWin will remain the German bookie and Ibetips the Spanish.
I will evaluate world odds from decimal odds by averaging.

It is a silly way to put it. All I want to know is the decimal factor of the pay back that the bookie pays out on top of my bet. If the odds are 0.4 I can figure it out much easier than 2/5. The bookie keeps my $1,000 if I loose but he pays me $400 and returns my $1,000 if I win.If someone is 3/1 and you place a bet at £1, you will get your £1 back and £3. If the odds are 2/5, you have to place £5 to get the extra £2.
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately they do not show Ibetips. Obviously I want to have a bookie for every nationality of a top driver to make it a fair world view.Try this site, you'll find them all quicker. http://www.oddscheck...rs-championship

He still will not beat Alonso

Honestly I doubt JB will come on stronger next year. (but what do I know)
As for MW....he has been boxed tagged and put on the bottom shelf.
I dont care what rubbish RBR spout, MW will not be racing SV in 2011 he will be seeing out his contract and doing what they tell him.
Which is what they expected from him in 2009 and 2010, he just had the audacity to not play along.
RBR want to get to 2012 with SV 2x WDC.
MW does not feature in that plan

How on earth is Hulkenberg at 80/1 but Barrichello is only 100/1? Rubens had twice as many points as Hulkenberg this year and Hulk is out of a ride.
Hulkenberg has more potential.

Posted 21 November 2010 - 19:44
Hulkenberg has more potential.
He needs a seat first.

#33
Posted 21 November 2010 - 22:15
It could be, because of the Ferrari rumours. In addition, Hulkenberg probably still has a lot of potential to improve. We are talking about <1% chance to win the WDC, so it's mostly speculation.He needs a seat first.
#34
Posted 21 November 2010 - 23:07
Really highlights how much stock can be put in bookies odds (i.e. none).He needs a seat first.
#35
Posted 21 November 2010 - 23:14
Barrichello has a higher chance to beat Hulkenberg in the WDC ranking in 2011, however, Hulkenberg has a higher chance, given what is known today, to be the WDC. It is a given that Barrichello will drive for Williams and it is almost a given that Williams won't be a top team. Hulkenberg has a chance, albeit a small one, to drive for a top team and given that a nonzero chance to be WDC.BWIN have their odds up too, and think Hulkenberg is twice as likely to be the 2011 WC as Rubens. They must know something we don't

It is a global exchange.
All of the oddsmakers you have used are recreational bookmakers, who can afford to skew their odds due to hideous margins/overrounds.
NB; WhiteBlue your conversions from decimal odds to percentages in your latest spreadsheet are all incorrect.
Decimal odds of 4.00 equals 25% not 20% (and yes that is the same as 3/1),

Thanks for pointing that out. It is at the conversion stage from fractions to decimal where the one is added. Decimal odds can simply be inverted. I will make a correction.
Here is the corrected version.

Webber looks a good punt
14:1 would be suicide on Webber. He tightened up so much at Korea and Abu Dhabi, plus the odds on Vettel getting all those car problems again, and Webber almost none, are astronomical.
It's way too soon to get any advantage over the bookies anyway, they have the top 3 at 3:1 and the rest nowhere, we can't improve on that can we? We have to wait for testing.

Posted 04 December 2010 - 11:22
Alonso is favorite to beat his team mate while Rosberg is least favorite of the top teams to do so.
Just to clarify: Rosberg isn't the least favourite of the drivers in top teams to beat their teammate. Massa is. Rosberg is the driver among the top teams who, despite being considered more likely than their teammate to win, is considered so by the smallest margin.

Im surprised he is even longer odds with Euro betting agencies. Shows how the local favoritism has brought him down to more realistic level.

Why don't you just use Betfair? It is a global exchange. All of the oddsmakers you have used are recreational bookmakers, who can afford to skew their odds due to hideous margins/overrounds.
I have thought about the proposal and I think I will do it that way. The advantage I see is the automatic generation of the odds and the information how big the market is. From today, 01.02.2011 I will not do the composite tri national but simply use the Betfair odds. Today the market was 59,000 €.

The Betfair F1 WDC market improved by 33% in volume during the first F1 test in Valencia from 60 to 80 k€. The movements were small. Alonso, Rosberg, Kubica and Sutil improved. Kubica went from 23 to 18 at the last day due to taking P1. It still looks like a season between Vettel, Alonso and Hamilton unless significant news is generated by the next few test. I see a surprise chance at Mercedes. They ran pretty reliably on the third day and had a record of 110 laps. Rosberg can nowhere near this kind of reliability on the second day and might suffer in the odds as a result of that.

Heidfeld has now been added.

Heidfeld is going to be announced as the Kubica stand in on Monday while Kubica's odds have gone up to 500 to win this years WDC. Reality finally has sunk in that he will not play a part in this years proceeding. Heidfeld is basically on a similar level as Massa but far away from the 18 Kubica boasted on his best day when he set fastest time in the Valencia test.
Rubens improved his odds today by going fastest and Michael Schumacher cemented his better odds during testing by running massive amounts of laps in both Valencia and Jerez with the W02 while Rosberg always seems to have the glitches.
The top of the odds keeps tipping one or the other side between Alonso and Vettel depending of who does anything spectacular in the car. The Ferrari is by far the car with the highest milage while many observers see the RB7 as the car with the highest downforce once again.
McLaren did not have a smooth start to the 2011 testing and Hamilton cannot close in on the two top drivers while the car fails to impress the observers with milage and performance.
#48
Posted 22 February 2011 - 05:25
The market has grown to almost 200k€. Williams Hill has made adjustments to their WCC odds. They still see Red Bull as the favorite. Strangely Ferrari are classed with McLaren at 3.5 although testing suggests that Ferrari should probably be closer to Red Bull. It appears that the market is still too small for the big betting houses to generate odds that reflect the testing scenario. Beyond Mercedes all teams see their odds deteriorate.
No big changes at the drivers. Heidfeld looses ground and Barrichello improves significantly. Kubica's odds are slowly worsening as a miracle recovery becomes less probable.

Posted 22 February 2011 - 05:54

This is the format I will be using during the season instead of the pie chart to illustrate the development. Pretty much as last year. I would like to make the fill transparent but I can't get my Excel to do this.
