Arbitrage – or arb as it is simply sometimes known, involves placing a bet on each different outcome, with several different bookmakers. The term was originally applied to certain transactions in the financial trading world; the word itself comes from the Latin word “arbiter”, meaning to judge. Those same principles that have earned fortunes in the financial markets can also be applied to sports betting.

Simply put, it is the means of covering every possible option by taking advantage of the difference in odds offered by different bookmakers. A simple way to explain it is as follows: if you bet $100 on car A with one bookmaker and $100 on car B with another bookmaker; if both bookmakers offered the same odds of 6/4, you would win regardless of which car won. Another way to put it – if you bet on every possible outcome, you cannot lose.

Technology has always played a big part in affecting the outcome of a Formula 1 race. During the 60 years or so of its existence, the championship has seen advances in technology, although never forgetting the importance of the driver. Two of the major innovations occurred during the early years - during the 1950s, Cooper’s revolutionary rear engine design led to two championship titles for Jack Brabham and in 1962, Lotus introduced their one piece chassis.

Technology developed rapidly during the 1970s and 80s and Formula 1 engineers began to be referred to as designers. The late 1970s saw the introduction of wings; and the early 1980s saw the widespread use of turbochargers. Perhaps one of the most significant innovations was the so-called “ground effect” which used underbody design and side skirts, hugging the car to the ground. Improvements in design continue to play a big part in racing performance today.
