My man Jenson Button couldn’t compete against the Red Bull team in the wet, but he still earned valuable points and his car looks quick.  I think my money is safe at this stage.

We got chatting about the Eurovision contest that is happening in May, you can bet on the outcome of the song contest if you like at Eurovision betting.  The Eurovision Song Contest is where each European country puts forward an original pop song and competes against other countries for the best song.  I’m never very good at predicting the outcome of this competition, everything that I think is good, never does well.

When it comes to betting I prefer to stick at what I know best and not mess with subjects that I don’t know a lot about.  I know about cars and motor racing.  I know nothing about singing and dancing!

Nice one, Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello – One, two for the new boys – Brawn racing!  Amazing to come out in their first season and win the first Grand Prix and finish one, two.  Thank you Ross Brawn and your team, I got a little pay out thanks to my bet on you.  Unfortunately I don’t think the odds will be so good for the next race…

They had a bit of luck for Rubens to finish second, but they deserved it.

Did you notice how little sponsorship they have on the car?  All I could see was Bridgestone.  I wonder how many sponsors are phoning up Brawn now???

Its early days still and no-one knows how the technical changes will affect the teams – its certainly made the racing more interesting!

Talking about changing gears, its the start of the Formula One season in Melbourne, Australia again… can’t wait to hear that roar of engines again!!!

The new Brawn Team looks like a real threat to the old boys… McLaren, Williams, Ferrari… Will be interesting to see if Jenson Button can do something with a car that can perform.  Lewis Hamilton was complaining of a lack of grip… they are going to be hot on his heels this year.

The controversy surrounding the diffuser sure has got things heated up a bit!  Looks like they have let it go for now, but I’m sure we haven’t heard the end of it.  Some teams have been clever enough to have different diffusers that they can fit.

Time to get onto the online betting site and see what the odds are.  Qualifying starts this saturday, practice is the last chance to iron out those last niggles… think I might just fancy a little bet.  I always like taking a chance on the first Grand Prix of the season because there are so many unknowns.

I’m not a fanatic football fan, but when there is a big tournament I like to follow the games.  Like the World Cup Soccer for instance or the European championships.  Perhaps the odd glance or two at the English League or the Italian and Spanish Leagues.

I am however a betting man, I can’t help myself in that regard… I am always working out the odds, no matter what it is… I just cant help myself I have to bet.  I’ll be doing some football betting that’s for sure!

With the Soccer World Cup coming up in South Africa next year I will be looking closely at whats happening in the football world.  I always start looking at the qualifying rounds as you can tell how good a country is doing then.  You can see which countries are on form but its not the only form guide because some countries are masters at lifting their game when the big occasion comes along.

I cant be bothered about going out to find a bookmaker, so I use online betting to place my bets.  Works for me, saves me time and I even get free bets.  Now I just wish that I could make some money.  Problem is as soon as I win, I take all my winnings and place another bet.. and then lose it all!
