Sawadee krap/ka racing fans! The MotoGP Online Betting Odds have arrived fresh off the presses. Now, it is time to look at what could occur this Sunday. The Grand Prix from Japan turned into an intriguing mess that produced quite the unexpected podium. Sadly, picking Francesco Bagnaia failed as he paid for trying to get too ambitious. Now, this weekend features our MotoGP Thailand Picks.
Today, we look at some MotoGP longer shots and picks for this Thailand event from the Chang International Circuit, which expects to see some weather issues. So, can Francesco Bagnaia learn from his mistakes, or do we see more unexpected results? Finally, we lay into our betting site online bonuses as October approaches. Meanwhile, the table lies below.
MotoGP 2022 Long Shots - Thailand GP | |
---|---|
Jorge Martin | +1200 |
Maverick Vinales | +1800 |
Brad Binder | +2200 |
Miguel Oliveira | +2800 |
Alex Rins | +4000 |
Things shifted again after a wild race in Japan. The MotoGP Thailand Picks again chart a different course this week. With the “Far East” leg on its second stop, there is this feeling of uneasiness. The strange thing is that earlier in the season, neither World Title contender started well. Last week, Fabio Quartararo could barely stay in the top eight, while Francesco Bagnaia got too cute, resulting in a DNF.
Those results pushed Quartararo’s lead in the world standings to 18 points. He never got close to contending, which would have made Bagnaia pay even more for his mistake. With Aleix Espargaro suffering a DNF, that paved the way for Jack Miller to win, followed by Brad Binder and Jorge Martin on the podium. It was a rare case of those longer shots paying off significantly.
This is also why Thailand could be another one of those races. Quartararo still does not quite have the speed on the Yamaha. Marc Marquez is still a bit of a question mark in changeable conditions. How tentative does Bagnaia ride knowing what happened in Japan? Can some of those riders a little down the table provide another tidy profit this weekend?
Last week taught us how to diversify the bankroll with some tiny wagers on riders down the ladder, so to speak, when it comes to the numbers. So, how about going longer again to Thailand? There are multiple reasons for this. For one, the numbers are again quite enticing. Yes, that means being smart with the dollars. However, a few extra dollars will not hurt anyone’s bottom line. Plus, consider this.
That means temperatures around 80-85 degrees and the potential for varying intensities of rain and wind. Even Sunday may be a bit interesting, as what we call an investment in the United States enhances the inclement weather potential on a course that already figures to be slick as it is.
So, why not Brad Binder in this spot for MotoGP Thailand Picks? The KTM rider has been racing better of late and did net a top-five at Aragon, then finished second at Japan. He was just three seconds behind Ducati rider Jack Martin of Australia. It might have been closer if not for a few issues earlier in the race.
The South African currency has seen some shortening numbers around +1800 to +2200. Binder has improved dramatically in testing and qualifying over the past four to six weeks. Those times have translated to race-day performances, and again the results are showing.
Those results from Japan moved Binder up to sixth in the points standings and have him just 22 points behind Enea Bastianini for fourth place. He is also just 11 points behind Jack Martin for fifth place. There are still enough races left in the season for Binder to at least make a charge into the top four. That would be quite a result for a rider who struggled until Aragon.
At VegasBetting, taking a different perspective regarding wagers and scenarios is good. The South African rider carries a solid track record, especially in changeable rainy conditions. Suppose the weather stays wetter; that puts him in an excellent position for this race to get on the podium and possibly win. With Thailand near, Binder is again an excellent MotoGP Thailand Picks idea.
For MotoGP Thailand Picks, Jorge Martin may be worth tossing a few dollars on. The Spanish rider parlayed some excellent results over the past six to seven races into a podium (third) in Japan. Now, this week could be more challenging for a few reasons. For one, the odds caught up to him a bit. Second, the weather is expected to be arguably worse than in Japan.
This MotoGP rider could not catch Brad Binder for second place at Motegi. He wound up less than a second behind the South African but started to gain slightly too late. Again, sometimes time is just not on a racer’s side. It happens. Martin showed he was up for the technical course and ticked one spot in the standings to eighth overall.
The problem with Martin here is that Thailand figures to be wetter for a longer duration and that +1200 is riskier than +2200. One other option may just be Miguel Oliveira at +2800. However, he is an even more unknown quantity in Thailand’s rainy season, which lasts another 1-2 weeks.
Take Brad Binder again as our long-shot choice in the “wet” for the MotoGP this weekend.
