Vettel a Tasty F1 Bet in Monaco Grand Prix Odds

In a week when Formula One said farewell to the legendary Niki Lauda, the F1 roadshow rolls into Monaco with all it’s the glitz and glamour. Read on for our resident F1 expert’s insights and his Monaco Grand Prix betting picks for this weekend…

F1 Monaco Grand Prix Betting Picks & Preview

Monaco used to be the gold filling amongst a mouthful of decay. Now it is the one race that should be extracted from the Formula 1 calendar as it is staged on comprehensively outdated circuit where overtaking is impossible and the race is essentially won during Saturday’s qualifying.

12 months ago the six cars which filled the six top places of the starting grid finished the race in the very same order. In 2017 it was the top-six starters that took the top six places once again. Some crown jewel of the sport!

So if you are looking for the race winner, possibly you should simply look for the pole setter and back them to start from the front of the grid – that will involve a lot less sweat.  

Many believe a Red Bull win this race for a second consecutive year but with last year’s winning driver, Daniel Ricciardo, no longer on the team and his replacement, Pierre Gasly, looking short of his standard, their hopes are on the shoulders of Max Verstappen and at a top-priced 4/1 (Coral) he’s way too short in the F1 Monaco GP betting.

Sebastian Vettel to shine?

Instead we recommend a Monaco F1 bet on Sebastian Vettel who won this race in 2011 and in 2017 for his current team, Ferrari. Yes his team have disappointed this campaign but they have still been clear second best and if Lewis Hamilton is deserving of his even-money price-tag, Vettel is never a 16/1 shot (bet365*) in this contest.

However, before you take out a mortgage to check-out the each-way F1 betting terms which are mainly places 1-2 (1/3rd odds). Only Coral go 1-2-3 (1/5th odds) but they are only 14/1 about the German. Therein the best betting option is the 15/8, also at Coral, about Vettel simply finishing on the podium. (Top-3)

King Carlos

The McLaren team have been resurgent this season and their Spanish driver, Carlos Sainz, has finished in the top-10 of his last two races.

More importantly he has been a top-10 finisher here in Monaco in all of his four visits and has a great all-round record in races around street courses.  

There’s no reason to believe he will not keep his car on track and earn another ‘Points Finish’ (a top-10) once again.

5/1 the Safety Car is Parked

During the past 17 years a Safety Car has been needed here a dozen times but on five occasions, including last year, it has not been called for.

With mechanical failure rarer than ever in F1 and the ‘virtual safety car system’ (which does not count for F1 betting purposes) being used more frequently, the 5/1 at Betway about it being parked-up for the duration of the race looks mouth-watering.

Monaco Grand Prix Betting Picks & Predictions:

– Sebastian Vettel – Podium Finish 15/8 at Coral

– Carlos Sainz to Finish in the Points (top-10) at 6/5 with Paddy Power

– No Safety Car usage at 5/1 with Betway Sports

Qualifying

  1. Offer available to new customers registering on or after 12:00 UK Time on 17th January 2019.
  2. Make a qualifying deposit of £5* or more to qualify for a 100% matched amount in Bet Credits up to £100*. Your qualifying deposit is your largest deposit (capped at £100*) made in the 7 days prior to you claiming the offer. Apple Pay, Fast Bank Transfer, Google Pay, PayPal, paysafecard and all other prepaid credit and debit cards, where available, cannot be used for either your qualifying deposit or any subsequent withdrawal of returns from Bet Credits stakes unless we have successfully verified an accepted form of your Identity Documents and you have entered a Postal Verification Code (PVC), or we have successfully verified two accepted forms of your Identity Documents.
    For more details on accepted Identity Documents, how to enter a PVC, or to upload your Identity Documents, simply log in to your account, go to Members then My Account and select Know Your Customer.
  3. You must claim your offer within 30 days of registering your account.
  4. The maximum amount of Bet Credits that can be claimed is £100*. For example, a qualifying deposit of £150 will qualify for £100 of Bet Credits.

Releasing your Bet Credits

  1. Your Bet Credits will be held in your account balance and are non-withdrawable. To release your Bet Credits you must place qualifying bets with a total stake value equal to or greater than the value of your qualifying deposit (capped at £100*) and they must settle within 30 days of claiming the offer.
  2. Your Bet Credits will normally be available to use within one hour of the qualifying settled bet requirement being met.
  3. You may have more than one Bet Credits offer available on your account at any one time. However, qualifying settled bets will only count towards releasing one of the offers. You may choose which offer is active within the Members section.
  4. Any single bets placed at odds of less than 1/5 (1.20) will not count towards the release of your Bet Credits. In multiple bets at least one selection must have odds of 1/5 (1.20) or greater to count.
  5. In market/fixture combinations that only have two or three potential outcomes (for example Soccer Full Time Result), where you have placed bets on more than one potential outcome, either pre-match or In-Play, only the outcome with your highest cumulative stake will count towards the settled bets requirement (if you have placed the same highest cumulative stake on more than one selection in the same market/fixture combination then only one will count towards the settled bets requirement). Any bets settled on other selections in the same market/fixture combination will not count towards the release of your Bet Credits. This term is applied in conjunction with the other restrictions. For example, if you have a £10 bet on Man Utd to beat Chelsea and a £15 bet on Chelsea to beat Man Utd on the Full Time Result market at odds of 1/5 (1.20) or greater, only the stake on Chelsea will count towards the release of your Bet Credits (if both bets were for £10 then £10 would count towards the release of your Bet Credits). If you were to place a further £10 bet on Man Utd to beat Chelsea at odds of 1/5 (1.20) or greater, this cumulative £20 stake will count towards the release of your Bet Credits and not the £15 stake on Chelsea.
  6. Fully Cashed Out, Instant Games, Gaming, void bets and In-Play bets which are settled as a push do not count towards the release of your Bet Credits. Where a stake has been partially Cashed Out, only the remaining active stake will count towards the release of your Bet Credits. Where a bet has been edited using our Edit Bet feature, the original stake will not count towards the release of your Bet Credits and only the new stake on the new bet will count.
  7. If you do not have qualifying settled bets to the value of your qualifying deposit (capped at £100*) within 30 days of claiming the offer, your Bet Credits will be forfeit and removed and the offer will be closed.

Using Bet Credits

  1. Your Bet Credits are non-withdrawable. Any returns from Bet Credits stakes will be added to your Withdrawable Balance but Bet Credits stakes are not included in any returns. For example, a £10 bet placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) would give a return of £30 (£20 winnings plus £10 stake), whereas a £10 Bet Credits stake placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) would give a net return of £20, as the £10 Bet Credits stake is not returned.
  2. Stakes can be funded in part by your Bet Credits and part with your Withdrawable Balance; however the Bet Credits element of the stake will not be included in any returns. For example, a £10 bet placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) which was funded by £5 Bet Credits and £5 cash would give a net return of £25 (£20 winnings plus £5 cash stake) as the £5 Bet Credits stake would not be returned. If a bet is void and has had an opportunity to win (for example, in the event of a push), Bet Credits stakes will not be returned. If a bet is void and has not had an opportunity to win (for example, when a Goalscorer bet is placed on a player who does not then take part in the match), Bet Credits stakes will be returned.
  3. For the purpose of Cash Out, the value displayed will already have the Bet Credits stake removed and will be the actual return received if Cashed Out.
  4. Your Bet Credits cannot be:

    • transferred to Casino, Games, Poker or Bingo;

    • used as stakes on Tote (including other pool betting), Colossus bets and Lotto markets;

    • used as stakes on Bankers, If Bets, Reverse If Bets or Teasers.

  5. Your Bet Credits will be forfeit and removed if your account is inactive for 90 consecutive days. Making a deposit, placing a Sports bet or participation in any Casino, Games, Poker or Bingo product is deemed as having activity on an account.
  6. Bet Credits can be used as a qualifying bet for the following offers:

    • ITV Racing 4/1

    • Feature Race 4/1

    • Bore Draw Money Back

  7. Bets placed using Bet Credits will not qualify for the following bonuses:
