nice. Shaunovery and I are too.

Am I the only one that thinks this "Non Americans" thing is getting out of control in the NASCAR section? I mean it was cute for a while, we had an Aussie and then a Brit, but of course we couldn't just stop at two. Everyone is aware that this is NASCAR right? The most redneck sport in the world, outside of bull riding of course. Dale Earnhardt is turning over in his grave right now with all of this "colour" and "favourite" discussion when talking about stock car racing. Will we replace the Confederate flag with the British Flag or which ever flag you mates fly in Australia?

btw, 5 Dimes only will show the prices if you log in. No motor racing listing at all if you're viewing "live lines".

alot of people read our sub-forum than i ever realized...and dont mean just here....no details needed but people sure do know

yisman · 02-05-13, 05:17 PM

yes you got a big following last season. Like I said last year, I got questions during tournaments on dsi/5 Dimes if I'm the same yisman from the NASCAR threads. When I affirmed as such, the guy would say he reads the NASCAR forum. It happened with at least two guys.

shaunovery · 02-05-13, 05:20 PM

Think people just read the NASCAR forum to get tips and never post there views like the rest of us

Yisman is the expert on making best use of these math wise, if he'll chime in. But imho you don't play -odds bets with freeplays. Parlay what you like for +odds only.

Shaun, see Yisman's posts in yesterday's thread, http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...-freeplay.html

whoops, sorry I missed the posts. You just want to bet on long odds. The longer the odds, the higher the EV (expected value).

Some books will limit the teams on a parlay you can do, or the odds, or they will prevent usage of MLs, for that reason.

The way of guaranteeing money would be to eight three team parlays, covering all possible outcomes.

However, when doing parlays on SBR, keep in mind that they often shave the parlay odds. Usually if you include a ML it comes out to true value.
