BetUSA has shootout win odds and matchups up. No value at all IMO.

i use a different betting system/strategy than most..all depends on what ur trying to do and mainly the amount of money ur risking and wanting returned on what "value" u can find...but damn shouldnt be that bad of odds anywhere at a plate track

but only use 5dimes too primary, who always have best odds form openers...they should be out in the next few days

They had Daytona odds to win already up last week. Haven't looked at site since superbowl.

Thread is needed cant wait

**DDT** · 02-11-13, 10:23 PM

I think everyone is chomping at the bit for a little NASCAR action

**5mike5** · 02-12-13, 12:39 AM

ay1 else notice how quiet the whle forum has been...its like 50% of SBR traffic has disappeared?! or is it just me? just noticed its almost a ghostown last month or so

not that i care at all, this nascar forum and its select few posters is all ive ever cared about

i can think of a few reasons why but just wondered if any1 else has noticed? i think its the way its been run latley has alot to do with it

**Optional** · 02-12-13, 05:21 AM

I've been disinterested myself. Once it's made plain you are not really wanted, or at least not valued as a member at all, enthusiasm for participating or putting work into making our forum better dwindles fast.

Not sure I can even be bothered doing the games at all this year. Maybe just the weekly picks game as I am sure I'll miss that once racing starts again.

I'm not doing Punters Club.

CD says he does not want to run the ESPN Fantasy game. Partly concerned about having to deal with sorting out peoples points if he gets banned suddenly.

So someone else will need to step up to run those if they want them to continue.

I'll start a thread about the Weekly and Segment long games sometime this week.

**CarolinaDaze** · 02-12-13, 06:07 AM

Yeah i always thought that one day SBR would have a Amnesty day where all the Great Hall Of Fame Posters would return 1 more time

, but the d*mn BI Fiasco might make that impossible.
I agree Opti im not feeling Punters Club this year, i think #'s are gonna be much lower this year in Nascar Forum after 2 great years of growth & $$$ Making

.
Everythings set up at ESPN for us, Ya'll just decide who's least likey to get banned while holding our points and we can roll.

2013 ESPN Nascar Challenge
