Here at NetBet, we’ve got a whole load of great markets for sports betting, and we offer some of the best Motor Racing betting odds around. We don’t just take bets on individual races; we offer online betting on plenty of deeper markets on our UK betting site. If you want to place any sports bet, here’s a quick guide on how exactly you should go about it.
Biggest Betting Events in Motor Racing
In motorsports, there are primarily two types of competition: motorcycle racing and car racing. The Formula 1 Championship is the most prestigious motorsport in the world, drawing top-tier brands like Ferrari and Mercedes to compete.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and the MotoGP are also among some of the world’s most popular motor racing series. Evaluating the quality of the competing teams and drivers before placing any bets is essential. The best drivers are only available to the teams with the highest resources. This is one thing that makes the sport unique to others as the vehicle of the driver contributes tremendously to their success. Lewis Hamilton is still flying the flag for British racing and is a seven-time world champion in Formula 1.
Best Bets in Motor Racing
Outright Race Winner
Outright bets on a driver indicate that you will get your investment back if, and only if, they take first place. There is the option to each way on Formula One and other auto-racing events. For an each-way bet to win, your chosen driver must come in first, second, or third, and the typical payout for a place is 1/5 of the odds. A £10 e/w bet costs £20 since your money is divided in half between the win and place markets.
Most Popular Bets in Motor Racing
Fastest Qualifier/Pole Position Betting
You must participate in a qualifying session to determine your starting place on the grid for most auto races. The person who clocks in the fastest qualifying time is given the “pole position”. This means they will begin the race in first place giving them an advantage.
Podium Finish
The podium is meant for the top 3 in any race. Betting on a driver to place first, second, or third is known as a “podium finish bet” in the world of auto racing. You’ll win the bet if the driver you have backed places first, second, or third. The payments are the same regardless of where they place (first, second, or third). Thus there is no incentive to have them finish higher.
Team Championship
Most motorsports are made of teams which consist of two drivers. This doesn’t get as much attention as the individual championship, but among racing fans, this is very important and it is possible to bet on who they think will the team championship.
