    BUT, if he puts it up front these are good odds.

    Like the +775 on Hamlin a lot.

    Probably will take Jimmie too but thinking I want Junior.

    Still waiting for B365 and Crownbet to post odds

    Added Kurt at +1750. Seems like I can't stay away on his odds. Hope better luck than last week.

    That makes you +186 overall.

    You love Kurt I think. He has to win one week so you may as well keep taking him Guess it probably wont take 17.5 races at least.

    Seriously though, with Harvick so average here I think it makes it tougher for Kurt to hit the setup.

    I am thinking of taking Christopher Bell in trucks... bit the same as you with Kurt, always looking for a reason to bet him.

    Do like Kurt. When he has a car, ain't nothin going to stop him from going to the front.

    Jimmie should still get up front but bad pit stall. Lagono and Kyle will be tough.

    Sorry. Was laid up this week then had an important family event on over the weekend.

    Don't think I would have picked Kyle though.

    Back to it next week

    Nice that we are thinking similar again

    Edwards +800
    Kenseth +800
    Kurt +1800

    Got half of my money across them at +264

    Thinking Kyle or Harvick for the other half but would also kind of like to cover Junior. Think he is going to win something soon.

    Just got Kyle at +525. Also took Harvick at +675. It for me. JR would be a great longshot to play here. GL

    I added Kyle +550


    And just woke up for Xfin race but missed most of it.

    Bet365 dont put up Xfin odds until a few hours pre race now and with races on early AM hours here it's a pain in ass.

    LOL.. a visit will do me. Maybe a 6 month long one though.

    I used to like the late night racing. No one bothers me or hassles me to do other stuff whilst it's on. But finding it much harder to spend Sat/Sun up all night this year.

    I cant stay up late at all. Night races give me problems. Oh well, getting old sucks but better than alternative.

    I added more to Kyle and Kenseth just before green flag and ended up betting more than planned too.

    Not sure I like how good Jimmie and Harvick looking so far

    Yeah, big time. Only came out about 100 ahead overall with the late bets.

    Oh well, small fish are the sweetest and nice to keep the positive run going

    Heads up for 'Dega, gentlemen! Friday, the weather is supposed to be wonderful! Then, the weekend happens. 30% chance of rain Saturday with a lovely 60% for Sunday. Rain should be off and on Sunday so chances of a shortened race are possible.


    And now back to Opti with the sports!

    Took JR +750 early. May be my only wager on this race. Might play a huge longshot later.

    Should have bet Junior early too but been flat out like a lizard drinking last 4 days and havent had a chance to think betting much.

    Probably take a few longshots for fun only. Just finished work and need a nap first though
