A little late this time, so apologies to all, but here are the results of the F1 odds game for Round 3. In our "Beat the Bookie" attempt, 7192 points were risked for a total return of 7179, or a loss of 0.2%. Well, I guess that means the odds are reasonable!
Now for the standings:

Congratulations to HBoss, garth_b and Makarias, who have the top 3 spots at the moment. HBoss hit the jackpot, staking the full total on Massa, and it paid off handsomely. OK, see you all for the next round!

Interesting loss ratio. You always have an expected loss in any odds game (just ask any casiono operator) but the loss here is quite respectable. My instint would have told me there would be more returns over amounts bet and that is partially based on the options to bet on drivers being in the points. Still, there is part of everyone who will take a risk and this is certainly proof of that.

Great work, I really enjoy this game.
