Let's go ahead and offer a 1 mbtc Free Bet for each Yellow Cap 



Prizes for the pool we be finalized once all participants have paid the entry fee (by April 9).

We are continuing to get really good news. The entry fee for the pool is only 1 mbtc now. And 0.5 mbtc free bet is given by Sportsbet to each participant at the beginning already. Besides, when we think that there are 23 races in the season, an amount like 23 mbtc free bet is really generous. I'd like to thank you on behalf of me for all your contributions to the forum.

Great news,let me check if I can access Sportsbet,I used to a couple of years ago but let's see now and let's see if the free bet is there.On another note,we are exactly in the racing weekend,I should probably lock my picks before qualifying tomorrow but one thing is a sure bet here as this is really a dangerous track,last year we had a lot of red flags,so betting on one would be a nice idea together betting with Safety Car to be right in the field as another sure bet because of the track characteristics.Difficult to predict the winner but I believe is going to be Redbull if they have solved their problems,top speed is the most important thing here.

yeah, it is really great to have Sportsbet here as sponsor
they are sponsoring all pools on Bitcointalk, and that is real community spirit from them

did not counted, but I think that I received most free-bets from Sportsbet, comparing to other bookies, and got few shirts as well, in competitions, thanks once more for being here

Seems like in this second race , we know less than the previous one seeing the Free Practice.

Free Practice 1 was a no sense, but in Free Practice 2 we have a better panorama.
Mercedes stills behind Ferrari and Red Bull (quite obvius) you cant do so much in only one week and far away from home.

Schumacherloses control on Turn 12 and hits a concrete wall. It's really awful, I hope mik is safe!!! At the moment the road is cleaned of oils to avoid slips.

I was really shocked after seeing that Mick had a big accident. But I was relieved a lot after hearing that he didn't have any problem physically and he talked to his mom on the phone a few times. This track is a really dangerous one and we can see many accidents. A lot of money was spent for this track to be built. But I wish the track was designed in a more different way.

Perez took poll position, of course that I did not put him in my list
Ferarri and Red Bull were much better on training than Mercedes, and it seems that first two middle east races will be a "fast forget" for Mercedes, unless they made some breakthrough on the race tomorrow

it is good that I am already down with my pool position, so now I can made picks without much thinking

Same problem for the Pole for me in this second race again,I just put the wrong driver as I put Verstappen just like I put Sainz in the first race,a good thing that I keep finding the team which gets Pole anyway,if there is such bet somewhere I should probably bet on it.

I don't see the lock picks option in the Superbru app nor I do in the Superbru website for this specific pool but I see in other pools I am in like the Premier League one,or can the picks be locked just after the qualifying ends?

Hello friends. The prize distribution system in my mind for the pool is like this now:

1) 6mbtc
2) 3mbtc
3) 3mbtc(minus tx fees)

I didn't want to allocate an extra prize from the pot for the most yellow cap winner. Because as jeremypwr explained, Sportsbet are going to distribute 1mbtc free bet for each yellow cap winner. And I'd like to thank them again for their contribution like this as well.

as far as I am concerned, this is completely ok

MV back on winning track today, having been slow on practice, but won in the end
interesting race, Ferrari will obviously be great this season (constructor title is already looking to them), and Mercedes is under question?

That is completely right as far as I am concerned.The free bets are a great addition weekly to the prizes that will be distributed during the end of the season.I did somewhat better this time as I managed to find the podium correctly although I again missed the winner,I managed to not get the wooden spoon this week so it was an improvement although I am still last.

Congrats to you Cls63 for finding the podium in the exact order as it happened and I guess you won another yellow cap this round.

Thank you. I am very happy for winning the yellow cap once again in this round. But despite winning yellow caps two weeks in a row, everyone is still very close to each other. It looks like that the competition level in the pool is going to be really high until the end of this season.

PS: It is really complicated to lock the picks for F1. I'm also not able to understand it yet.

[LTU_btc]

Damn, it's really difficult to predict exact places for F1 races. I follow F1 almost whole my life, but it didn't help me at all - I'm 11th of 12 participants.
Anyway, first two races of season definitely didn't disappointed. Next race in Australia - F1 returns here after 2 years absence. What I didn't missed about Asutralian GP - getting up very early to watch race .

PS: It is really complicated to lock the picks for F1. I'm also not able to understand it yet.

Yeah, I also haven't figured out fully these things. It doesn't work same like in football, where pick is automatically saved after you enter score and you can also click ''Lock Pick''. Here you have to manually click ''Save picks'' and I haven't found is it there an option to lock picks.

Hahaha man again you beat me, Congratulations to you, its like the last laps of the race was the same for the pool.

You Versttapen i Leclerc. If Leclerc win the race i have win but not,i thing Verstappen was very lucky with that yellow flag in the final, because if Leclerc have that DRS he can overpass MV.

In toher things, was an amazing race, i feel bad for Alonso and Bottas for his retirement.

Many fans are very happy with this way of racing with the new regulations and new cars. It was really boring the last 2 seasons, because it was only between Hamilton and Verstappen. It now seems to be between LeClerc and Verstappen, but it is not the case that other drivers have no chance. Perez in good shape could have won this race, and Sainz too. We are going to see many spectacular races this season. I wonder where Mercedes is now, it seems to be a mess, but once they have the car they want there is no one better than Lewis to make that car win. However, that may still take a few games, and Mercedes will not become champion this season.

ya.ya.yo!

Congrats Captain CLS63 on another YC

when I hear you, I am doing great, because I really rarely follow F1, but wanted to take part in another contest on bitcointalk
it is never easy to predict who is going to win, and Ferrari is really having good formula this season, it is pretty obvious, but MV was a lucky one last night

in the end, now we will fight in the lower part of participants table

Most of people here like the gambling and more than that people love this Formula 1 or F1 race.Mostly F1 race was an unpredictable one,it is depends on the exact luck of the player.And don’t finalised the the game or race is purely based on luck.Don’t come to that conclusion.It also depends on the talent of the racers also.

Betting in Formula 1 its really tricky, because in one hand you have the knowledge of 75% of the grid cant win the race. Or their chances are below 1%. So you have in your favour only the 25% of the grid can win, but and now comes the tricky part, you have so many things you cant control.

For mention only a few.

- Reliability issues
- Safety cars deployed
- Team Orders
- Tyre degradation
- Car Set-up
- Climate

And i can keep going, so its so difficult and so easy at the same time. Maybe sounds like a oximoron but its like that.
