I have been on live chat for the last half hour pal and I have now been settled again as a winner. 

What a bunch of conmen.

Sky paid up without prompting

Ladbrokes settled mine as a loser - I've bounced it back to them.

Colin Munro 7-1 top be top NZ batsman with Betfair sportsbook in their T20 opener with India tomorrow. He didn't bat in the warm up with England which they lost, but he seems an almost certainly to me to slot in at number three in the order. He is an explosive batsman in the T20 format and this seems like a great price. Best price elsewhere 9/2 and best price for top overall match batsman for him (both sides combined) is 17/2

Correction - match is on Tuesday. 14:00GMT

Edit - I'm not sure if this is odds for top batsman overall and is incorrectly listed in oddschecker.

The stewards in Mexico have made the following changes to the race result:

- Lucas di Grassi disqualified after his car was found to be underweight.
- Loic Duval has 15 seconds added to his finish time for repeatedly not respecting track limits.
- Jerome d’Ambrosio's fastest lap has been removed for cutting a corner.

This means that Jerome d’Ambrosio has won the race - good news if you got on the EW bet, although you might have to argue the settlement with the bookie.

Oh my, nice one Peter.

I watched the race, & try as I might, I can't take to this Formula at all, it feels like scaled up Scalextric to me, & the commentators need to try & force the excitement. Racing cars need to be noisy, too, not whine like a food blender. The races are always on Mickey Mouse tracks, too.

Great betting medium, though, as the bookies don't seem to have got it sussed yet, & you do, so keep the tips coming.

I'd deffo not get up at 5am to watch it, but next Sunday, I'll be watching the F1 opener, for sure.

It essentially is scaled up Scalextric, however the amount of development work and innovation in this series, even at this early stage, is of an extremely high level. I disagree that the commentators need to try and force excitement, for the majority of the race yesterday, the top four were separated by less than two seconds - you almost never get that in other open-wheel race series, but Formula E often seems to deliver that.

The cars could easily be made noisier, but then people would complain it's artificial. Unfortunately, that's just the nature of an electric powertrain rather than a traditional combustion engine. The circuits do feature a lot of tight hairpins, but this is necessary in order to bring the average lap speed of the cars down, and increase the length of the race. This will improve as energy storage capability and battery technology develops. This series is very much work in progress.

You're right, the bookies don't seem to have sussed it yet, but I would argue that they haven't sussed F1 either .. there's always so much value on the table in motorsport. Then again, I suppose if your knowledge is better than the traders, you'll always have the edge.

Why not get up at 5AM? The first race of the season is always a magical moment; we really have no idea what the pecking order will be. There's so many potential stories to tell, and so many different components that have to come together to make to truly great. There are such small margins between success and failure, particularly at the first race. It's man and machine locking battle, the finest machines in motorsport against the elements in an astonishing setting, coupled with such a sense of nostalgia and history! To control a Formula One car at 200 mph is one of the ultimate sporting challenges, and I think it's worth watching live  

In terms of bet settlement, they usually argue "first past the post", but in my experience, if you discuss it on chat and state that di Grassi "won" the race unfairly, they will always pay out. Discussing over e-mails is a little trickier.

Lolbrokes live chat saying their terms state they pay on original podium placing and won't change for any post-race disqualifications.

Great shout though Peter, thanks.

They will, you have to then say that part of the bet was for the race win, and he did win the race because di Grassi was placed unfairly. Then back it up that if you knew di Grassi's car was underweight (i.e. had all the relevant information prior to placing the bet), you would have bet differently. Essentially don't leave the chat and keep escalating the issue until you get paid, always works for me.

Their rules essentially state "first past the post", but the bet market (of half the bet) was "Race Winner". In this instance, those two things are conflicting, and by law, when there is ambiguity in written guidelines, the beneficiary is the person who did not write the guidelines.

[bergeroo]

So I haven't made a mistake - its definitely for top NZ batsman only and not top batsman overall in the match??? I was doubting myself there for a second, but it does say top nz runscorer on my bet, they laid me a fair bit...

The commentary does not need to CREATE the excitement if it's there Peter, & it was there (to a degree) yesterday, & yet the commentator was yelling like a madman. He needs to remember that not all of us are stupid, & the idea of tv is that we can actually SEE what is happening.

You completely missed my point as to getting up at 5am to watch F1. I'd not get up to watch Formula Scalextric, but I WOULD & WILL be up at 5am next Sunday for the F1.

Recommend each way Tamim Iqbal top tournament run scorer at T20 world cup. He just hit an unbeaten century and Bangladesh are all but through to the group stages. Main man for his team and in great form plus Bangladesh are the only team with two matches at the small batsmen friendly stadium in Bangalore.

50/1 still available in a few bookies, though it has now gone at boyles who pat out five places
