Verstappen Favored for Third Straight Japanese grand Prix Victory
“May the odds be ever in your favor” or so the “Hunger Games” slogan goes. Similarly, the odds seem to always be in Verstappen’s favor to win Formula 1 races. Inevitably, sportsbooks have observed the Dutchman’s F1 dominance and juiced his odds for victory in every race.
Verstappen is one of the most skilled drivers in the paddock and has the increasing advantage of piloting the very best racing machine in the world. Red Bull have taken all 50 points from the Suzuka Circuit over the past two years and will be eager to exert their force once again.
Here is another classic Max Verstappen 😎

Max convinced his team to pit for the fastest lap, with only a 24 second lead and 2 laps to go.

Unfortunately there’s little value on Verstappen at -400 to win. Plus, the books have caught on to our Verstappen to win qualifying bet, which is also juiced to -225. Making the best value on the board Sergio Perez +1200 to win the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
