Austrian GP

Never had one cent on the race. I can't say anything more then whats been said. But F1 did get a very Black Eye today. Many fans will never believe results of races in the future. I was thinking about all the things I need to attend to next month. This is good time to take the month of and take a vaction from the site. Like YYZ once said need a month off form MJ's. Then he came back with. I visit this site more then I ever did. Will see if I can get caught up on the real world. Good luck on next couple of races guys. And yes 1837 I should have played today with you as I almost alway do. Just could not pull the trigger. You had very nice day.

Thankful to break even after Frentzen got shunted up the rear at the 1st corner by Bernoldi and then pushed off the track at the 2nd corner by Villeneuve I do prefer qualifying when it comes to risking money!

Had to go out during the race - not long after the Heidfeld/Sato incident - and so missed the rest of the race. I didn't believe it would get any more eventful

I said you'd get it back today 1837! Great job, despite the fix

In all fairness to Shumacher it wasn't his call. He told the team that he didn't want Barichello to move over but the team insisted since they said anything can happen later on so he needs to pad his lead.

So the big f you goes to the Ferrari team management not Shumacher.

In the meantime, it's a good thing these are the "unreliable" Ferrari's huh?

Great work on the race guys.....

Great work on the race guys.....

Even though you didn't get to cash your Rubens to Win wager 1837, you still had a great day. It's just tough to bet him to win if Michael is anywhere around at this point, although I thought a 44 to 20 lead or something to that effect, was big enough so that "the orders" would not come out.

I'm not sure how safe a lead they want, but once they (Ferrari) are comfortable, you will make your money back and then some on Rubens. Michael will return the favor. There is no doubt about that.

Don't know if you guys watched the post race press conference, but you could tell how embarrassing it was for Schumacher. He's a 4 time World Champion and does not want anything given to him that he didn't earn. He gave the trophy to Rubens, and all in all, everyone knows who really won this race.

Go get 'em at Monte Carlo!

A big PROP to Intertops who upgraded the Barrichello win wager !:toast: :clap: I think they deserve to be the most "honest" sportsbooks for now! Upgrade it like a winner means they didn't buy the bullshit decision made by Jean Todt and Michael Schumacher and agreed that it was Barrichello who really won that race. WOW I'm still by this upgrade and really happy $$$ When WSEX and OLY will follow?

Yes. i want to say again that Schum deserves a big :gf: because saying it wasn't his call is bullshit. You don't know what you're talking about if you say so :nono: I have contacts in F1 and i can tell you today that it was Jean Todt AND Michael Schumacher decision! Bullshit his acting after the race! He will return the favor to Rubens for sure when the championship will be over but to act like they did after just 6 race in the season is just a big black eye for the F1 sports. We would have understood if it would have been at the end of the year on a close championship race but not NOW!!!!! Rubens just signed a contract with Ferraris and in his terms, it is clearly state that he has to follow Ferraris orders so if he hadn't slow down at the end, he could have void his new contract so he shut up and..... Too bad to see a driver bought like this but he agreed when he signed that contract (pact with hell...). Michael could have say no to pass Rubens and he didn't because more wins=more record broken. Don't tell me Michael has nothing to do with this. He is as guilty as Todt. Michael, you are a poker face driver and i had just a great example yesterday...

 

[1837]

Heard Intertops isn't the only sportsbooks who upgraded it as a winner. If you have other names, please let us know!

 

[Huckleberry]

Wow!

Wow!

Tell us how you really feel 1837! I'm not as avid an F1 guy as you are...that's for sure. However, I still find it hard to believe that Michael really wanted this.......I mean come on. Records?? He has practically all of them. And no one that good and that competetive wants to pad their records that way do they? Is Schumacher that bad of a competitor?

Is he that much of a pompus a** that he would risk this media backlash for 4 points 6 races into the season when he has a huge lead in the championship? I would agree if he got the team orders and didn't really care either way........but to say that he was 50% responsible would just amaze me. It just doesn't make any sense. Everyone is just out to crucify this guy.

And there is no way he would have said no to the people that build his cars and pay his enormous salary............I really don't understand what the big deal is. What is as much of a big deal when Rubens let Michael pass him last year for 2nd place? Sure the Championship was much closer at the time. That is the reason why I can't believe he wanted this yesterday.

In addition....is this something that has never happened before in this sport? This has been going on for many many years.

But what the hell do I know........You are right. I probably don't know what I'm talking about. But that's the beauty of it. I can at least still have an opinion.......even without F1 contacts.

Anyway, congrats on the Rubens wager being graded a winner....that is quite admirable by Intertops and really the right thing to do. I only wish I didn't live in Nevada so I could take advantage of playing at such a stand up operation.

Thank you Ronnie, it willl be very helpful!

Huckle, i understand that you can't believe it but Michael is really a double face guy. Will be too long to explain here but believe me.
On the other hand, Rubens is guilty too because he agreed when he signed his contract...:nono: I should have known...

If F1 can acept this...what about...

If F1 can acept this...what about...

If a driver can let a team mate pass.

can a leading driver hold up the driver directly behind him, and try to create opening for his team mate which is on 3rd to pass?????

 

[1837]

sure but because his name isn't Michael, that driver could hve some problems later on with FIFA. Michael rules F1 and FIFA can't touch him...
