MARTINSVILLE--5mike5

[5mike5]

Alright fellas, after a long week off were off to the paperclip of MARTINSVILLE racetrack this weekend with 2 nascar series in action starting with the Truck Series on track saturday early afternoo and the CUP race early afternoon sunday for the early start time of 1pm..truck races are also usually great races here in the past too...been a long week off and i for 1 already cant wait for thios weekend of short track racing....several drivers in fueds and this is a track where people always get paid back, much less after the california crazyiness....

MARTINSVILLE, (or the paperclip as its also known), is only a 0.526 mile oval with only 12 degrees banking in all 4-corners and no banking at all on the straights...and both the front and the back stretches measure out at only 800 feet long....this is a 500 lap race...and there will be cars hitting and wrecking each other all day at this track...just no way arounf it u have to move a car to pass here most of the time...should bre a GREAT weekend of racing!!!!!!

Ive already started watching last 4 races from martinsville and taking notes on last years's race...which is a nightmare still for me and alot of us here in the thread even 1 year later after dumbass ruetimann runied hige paydays for us on GWC finish..lol...except vegas 39 because his boy newman won (booooo)...but we will get'em back this week...as always all opinions/leans are always welcomes here by the thread regulars...ill post a few bets when openers are released some sometime tonight or tomorrow....

and guys GOODLUCK this weekend on your ALL motorsports bets this weekend...going to be a great weekend, and im ready to cash in a HUGE payday this weekend!!!!!

Hey one week of glory

[JayHorne3]

YES SIR!

[5mike5]

Hey one week of glory

i watched that last few laps unfold again yesterday evening, and even when i knew it was coming, i just closed my eyes...still painful


but right after that, the season really started to kick into gear for the gamblers

[Vegas39]

Will see same people near front. Though not sure what to expect from Martin in 11 car

[Vegas39]

Can we start a pool who spins Lgano first

[5mike5]

Can we start a pool who spins Lgano first

going to be several get spinned this week...hell cars are actually 1inch apart for most of the race...

[Vegas39]

oh I know but he has a bigger target than most this week

[5mike5]

oh I know but he has a bigger target than most this week

oh yeah i tolally agree

#1 target

hes not going to find much give out there from the other drivers...maybe none at all

[Vegas39]

Interesting in 2 races there (a small sample yes) Almirola averages a 6th place

thats a unexpected stat...i wasnt aware of...

especially might be some good value in a H2H matchup with #43 as +odds or even

[Vegas39]

That was my think on it too

[JayHorne3]

Might even sprinkle a little money on my driver this week in Dale Jr if I can get some good opening odds. I typically never put money on him but that 48/88 shop should be stout again the week

[Vegas39]

I expect all 4 Hendrick cars to be strong. Last spring if not for Kahne blowing up all 4 had great cars

[5mike5]

yes all hendrick cars will be strong...

and several mid-pack odds drivers that could have some good opening numbers...i might look at 1 maybe 2 early depending on the odds....not having hamlin puts a few guys back on my radar this week now that dont have to worry about 1 of the dominant cars

[Vegas39]

Agree makes a huge difference this weekend

[5mike5]

well guys this CUP weekend is what is what i call a..........

GO BIG OR GO HOME WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ill be hammering this week and VERY excitied about getting started!!!!

hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vegas39]

So imagine Harvick about +200 for trucks

[JackalLion]

I like Bad Brad and Bowyer this week..Brad typically doesn't qualify well so I'll wait until after the sessions..I usually play Gordo at this track too because he's good here and usually has twice the odds of JJ

[5mike5]

So imagine Harvick about +200 for trucks

oh im sure he is if hes the only cup driver

[5mike5]

gotta take jimmie +550

[Vegas39]

oh im sure he is if hes the only cup driver

Yes indeed he is

[5mike5]

Yes indeed he is

maybe +250, but cant see any better than that

[Vegas39]

Maybe just me but can't recall a short track race when all under +3000 lines

[JackalLion]

Had to grab Kyle at +8 and Gordo at +13..both have the potential to go down..

[5mike5]

i just cant take gordon in his current form...might change my mind...he does live in the top 5 here thats a fact

[JackalLion]

i just cant take gordon in his current form...might change my mind...he does live in the top 5 here thats a fact

I did consider how he has performed lately but then I looked back at last years notes and he had a very slow start last year as well 40,8,12,35 and 26..I know that IF is a huge word but IF that senseless caution hadn't came last year he may have just won..that's my logic for grabbing him early

But I totally understand and appreciate your perspective.

i still might bet him, just havent yet...hes about as solid top 5 finisher as there has been here last 10 years

and yeah, dont remind me again about last years finish....cost me alot of money...i had Gordon

i usually always take gordon here actually

i like the pick dont get me wrong jackalion

[5mike5]

Keslowski and Kyle B. odds are just too damn low for me to even look at as an early bet this week....i know they have both had strong rund here before, but neither has ever won a race at martinsville for the CUP series

maybe later but just dont want to bet 1 of them at these low odds yet of +700 and +800, but as usual not saying i wont later in the week

[5mike5]

maybe +250, but cant see any better than that with only cup driver in the trucks race this week either

well Harvick opened at +185 for the truck race

yikes

[5mike5]

So imagine Harvick about +200 for trucks

vegas almost nailed it right on the number, but...

even worse than we expected +185



i could possibly start a Open 3slot parlay for the weekend with it for some entertainment, but by time they put up parlayable win bets, he will probably be closer to +100 or maybe worse...just am not going to hammer any racing bet that low....usually dont anyways

[5mike5]

i see 1 particular H2h that i might just hammer early this week from the few that have already been posted

dont really want to tell b4 i actually make the bet, but i think its a STEAL

PM and ill tell any1 there and see what they think about it

[trytrytry]

gotta take jimmie +550

in the Cup race to win ,.is this an official pick..
