MARTINSVILLE--5mike5

[JayHorne3]

Taking a shot here. With a qualifying play.

newman +115 over Kyle

will see with blind draw. This race last year newman qualified 5th and Kyle 8th

Good luck! I took C. Edwards (-130) over Biffle for a small play. Both do not qualify particularly well here but based off recent trends and early season momentum I decided to lay with Edwards

[5mike5]

least ill have a few bets to root on for tomorrow

doubt i play a single qualifying bet all season...tried 4-5 last season and maybe broke even

[Vegas39]

GL jay

so we need Kyle to draw 1 and Biffle 2

[5mike5]

i remember last season losing about 800 bucks on a silly jpm qualifying bet and that left such a bad taste i said no more...i was up b4 that but still didnt help me feel any better

Damn Montoya , I'd be passed to

yeah whatever track it was he usually Q'd good there and didnt...lost by 1 position to beat it all..LOL

That happens a lot to me too

do think some dogs can be profitable now that back doing blind draw

[1fastmr2]

I think Qualifying is going to be tough to pick because of the pill draw. I just find it hard to pick a winner with qualifying right now with the Gen 6 cars. I know I have not posted my picks because I don't have time on the weekend to post. I have only missed 1 pick and that was 2 over the 11 at phoenix. The pick was good until that last restart

[5mike5]

all i really focus on is cashing in big on race winners...and play around with H2Hs sometimes.....dont really mess with props, qualifying ect.

[Vegas39]

I can't help it mike

I don't usually bet on qualifying but maybe it was the week off that has me super anxious

5mike5 do you have any official picks in this long thread other than Jimmy johnson +550 to win the race sunday?

It would be great to recap all your picks once a day in this thread...

[Vegas39]

Any chance tryX3 or Yis will offer a line on Hamlin making chase

not yet...ive bet jimmie (+550) a few different times and odds only so far....i bet all my picks more than 1 time usually when odds change depending on that and my race strategy for each racetrack...can only get $250 down each bet so bet them muliple times if need be, same with H2Hs but i dont always bet those maxed out single....always bet a longshot parlay of them for fun though

but im still flipping thru my Martinsville racetrack notebooks and old odds to decide if im betting more drivers to win early, or waiting til later in the weekend

might actually hammer a H2H a few times too i absolutley love and ill post AFTER i bet it, becuase sometimes they will raise them up if they see us talking about picks we are going to make in this thread...believe it or not its true

nothing else yet, if i make another pick before the practices/qualifying ill post them up

[5mike5]

hanlin not being in the race, has messed up alot of these drivers odds and moved them below where they should really be before the sessions start up and the books start overreacting

[5mike5]

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

imo, because there is no denny this week

makes most of these odds lower than usual

[Vegas39]

I agree mike only comparable would be Ambrose missing a road course I guess

[trytrytry]

thanks mike..it is just hard to navigate allthe posts in your weekly threads to see if you have added an actual pick here


...some of the details in these threads are not to be understood by the casual fan!!!..plus lots of talk of the opther races, qualfiers..which is cool just want to be alerted to solid picks you are making!....enjoy the time up to the races!

[1fastmr2]

There should be an official pick thread for each race

[shaunovery]

just before the race mike always posts his picks so it gives everyone plenty of time to get final wagers in

Thats a fact for sure

[JackalLion]

I personally like the collaboration and even the occasional off topic post. There's not a race week that goes by that I don't read something that get my wheels turning..I know that Mike's successful track record has caused some to visit just for picks and tailing purposes but I for one hope the collaborative format continues..

Thanks to all of the weekly contributors!

That's great that you're having such a good year. I'm sure that you're aware that unless you post prior to the event or provide screenshots, posts like these are discounted..here's an example that happened a few weeks ago to me..I had Kurt Busch to win 8k and it can be argued that IF there had been one more caution he'd have won the race..I knew if I'd posted that no one would believe it (other than Mike maybe) so I was prepared to show a screenshot (wish I had needed to!) FYI I typically bet Kurt with odds that high but I don't post them because I don't want to influence others incorrectly.

I will go on record and ask that you try and find some time to post your picks..with a record like yours I'm sure that we will all benefit from your contributions..once again congratulations on your successful start!

im usually not finished til raceday, but i post them after i bet them

if i post or comment b4 that, well i dont want the odds to get worse if ya know what i mean

[5mike5]

yeah we all post our picks here b4 the race

and if u have only lost 1 wager then u arent betting very much

[5mike5]

There should be an official pick thread for each race

this is the pick thread

and everything that goes with it...lol

[shaunovery]

been a long 2 weeks with no racing

[shaunovery]

no qualifying coverage on speed today

[JayHorne3]

I am just glad the boys are going to fire engines today. I will try to keep up with practice speeds from my computer at work.

[5mike5]

i doubt i watch practices

ill glance at it later
