be back to fill in this 1st post shortly...watching races and flippin through my notebooks at the moment

its gonna be another monster weekend with nationwide and cup series night races @ Darlington...doesnt get much better than this fellas

[5mike5]

i went to this racetrack a few times...talk about an old nascar classic...we used to go to the beach all week and end it with the race....

can also produce surprise winners as well as we found out with ragan smith just in 2011, but thats the only one really

[pigpenII]

I couldn't wait.....I already have 3 win bets in for one of the early book posters

[pigpenII]

I'm sure I got horrible odds on one of them, but I'm sure he'll be the favorite by racetime....so took it anyway. Then 2 longshots.

[pigpenII]

I just tipped my toe in though and won't bet the real money till the real books come out with odds.

[shaunovery]

Haven't made up my mind this week yet but no ford winner since 2006 puts me off those cars

[5mike5]

not sure who im playing til i see the odds, but the ONLY favorite this whole week will be jimmie johnson

i love th erace....cant eait to start putting down some bets

yeah fords never run well here..i watched the last 3 and watching 4th b4 bedtime..been doing that andn making my write-up in my Darlington book from last season and reading past few years....at least my longest day is finally iover

[JayHorne3]

I am ready for this week like no other! Ready!!! Already know mostly who I will take, now just time to get some good numbers and get those fukkers to win

I assume Myrtle Beach? Darlington is about 1hr 15 mins south of me. Charlotte is about an hour north so I am right in the middle. Been to both tracks more times than I can count. I will be at both the All-Star and 600 next month.

[5mike5]

Yeah we always went to myrtle beach. I've new there about 7-8 times (the beach) and the Race several times and I love it. T it is old school NASCAR.

Aire after the hall I game opened I went to Charlotte for 4 days, left and went to Vegas for a few days to play poker and then came back to Charlotte for almost another week. It's was just a fukkin AWSOME trip. Probably my fav trip to a race I've been to last several years at least. And it was rhe all- star weekend and come 600. I wen to Vegas in between. But I loved the hall of fame it's just an Amazing experience any NASCAR fan HAS to go see

[Slimpickens]

Rough opening odds. 6 guys in single digits.

[shaunovery]

Tony at 5d posted the odds early for a change

[Optional]

I'd never heard of Myrtle Beach before the last season of Eastbound & Down.

What do we make of all the Toyota teams looking so flat last week?

Anyone have confidence to take Denny at +800?

[5mike5]

Tony at 5d posted the odds early for a change

He always tried 2pull it every now and then. He doesn't understand I don't sleep and if I do I have some1 else watching for me. We sleep in shifts . lmao

yeah as expected they wete not good this week to start. Usually always that way here on openers. A



lot will get much Bette when the favs get bet down more. Just gotta be careful ok to bet too much on any early plays. Its worth the risk to wait and addon later. Least that's what I always do unless I think that even low it's not gonna get better. Ir just plan to parlay

Hamlin will get bet a lot this weekend. Second in his last two races here though didn't run here last year.

But hell Regan Smith won here so who knows

[Slimpickens]

For Hamlin to be half the price of KK is baffling to me.

I thought his 2nd in 2012 was kind of a suck up 2nd. Wasnt really the 2nd best car that day.

[Vegas39]

How much will insurance cover?

dealing with that now they are going to end up totaling my vehicle . Sucks as was bought 5 months ago

[5mike5]

Hamlin is definatly a beast here

he has only raced at darlington 8 times in his Cup Career an no1 has taken to this track better...them mans WORST finish is 13th and then 10th is the next worst and 1 was even his fault it was strategy

hes finished top 7 in 6 of the 8,

and Denny Hamlin has finished 1st or 2nd in HALF of the races he has been a cup driver @ Darlington

(4 of 8)

HE IS A BEAST HERE..PERIOD

[5mike5]

and there was your stat of the week by yours truely:

Hamlin has finished 1st or 2nd in 50% of his Darlington starts (4/8)

WOW

and it u didn't get up early and geton his opening price its already dropped 20%+

[5mike5]

and boy 90% of these openers are TERRIBLE....

Matt kennseth for 1 is WAY WAY WAY overrated imo....

these books are always so damn clueless, and it usually works in our favor especially on openers...not this week...they are just making everybody has low odds and saying hell with it....well im saying hell with it and only picked very few early players this week unless things change drastically because there is close to ZERO value on openers this week, and what little as has been bet down already if u weren't awake at 4am like i was waiting

i mean waiting til after sessions, when all the books will overreact to that and qualfiying as usual, u aren't gonna lose much on a few of those top favs eho are grossly over valued and its worth the change on a few to drop imo....at least that's what i'm doing

even some the 20-1 and longer guys odds are terrible and should be much worse
