As you know, bookmakers take into account the amount of money that bettors bet on a particular outcome. It turns out that a huge number of people (or rather money) were bet on Verstappen's victory ... and they all lost On the one hand, I sympathize with their losses, on the other hand, I don’t know how superintelligent one must be to bet with such a low odds? I bet today with even lower odds, but these were bets on games where there are only 2 players (and two possible winners) and there is no risk of falling out of the race from the actions of third parties. I wonder if these believers in Verstappen's victory will continue to increase the bet and bet again on his victory in the next race? (Martingale).
This can we viewed in those large betting halls in vegas with the large screens of all bets as they come in and how much of a swing the live odds go is definitely a factor as determining the outcome.
It reminds me of the stock market floor when they are live.
But yeah, Vegas did win that day as everybody and their mothers thought Verstappen would win on home track for his team.
I had fastest lap on a few of my parlays so I got those to cash in at @2.07x on Max.
