British Grand Prix: Schumi Goes Ka-Boomy

filed under Sports Betting : Motorsports

CRASH!.jpgThanks to the US Grand Prix debacle, Michael Schumacher’s is disliked on this side of the pond if he isn’t flat out anonymous. The man couldn’t get arrested in this country if he ran down the Geico Gecko while schtupping Pam Anderson in a Trabant.

But the man wins – he’s taken checkered flags more often than our tired prostates allow us to pee. So we’re scratching our heads about why he’s a 15/2 outsider at books like SportingOdds for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend. Could it be the loss of “his personal masseuse, dietician, spiritual ‘guru’ and friend Balbir Singh”? It’s possible - hell, when our pedicurist quit without notice, it ruined our whole weekend.

Flying Finn Kimi Raikkonen gets all the bettor love at 10/11 and the ever-fickle Euros even go for a guy named Fernando (5/2) who is neither the stud in the ABBA song nor a pockmarked Los Angeles Dodger phenom with a kooky wind-up.
