MICHIGAN--5mike5

[MOOCH14]

Are you looking at race matchups instead of quali?

Yup, your right dude, sorry

[onlooker]

Help me out here guys. I'm out of the loop this week. Just got back from Disneyland trip today.

Let me know if I should hit these now, or wait.

Matt Kenseth +950
Carl Edwards +1500

[shaunovery]

Kyle was about +225 for nationwide when odds were released

and fukk me jimmy now down to +300 for Sunday and no it isn't my money I haven't backed him and wont not at that price

[Vegas39]

Kyle anywhere near front he will close +100

[5mike5]

Havent had power since wed from damn storms so haven't wasted battery on phone so i could bet still and no power for computer. Suppose to be up today and ill be around. If if isn't fixed I'm going to hotel this evening. Of course everybody around me still has power. Nothing worse. How did people live without electricity ill never know

Damn buddy that sucks. Need to get you an external battery pack for phone

[MOOCH14]

Truex looking fast in this first practice guys. Only one to hit 199mph so far

[Vegas39]

Two things its only practice and it is Truex

[MOOCH14]

Good point. He burned me in the Pre allstar showdown race. Haha

[JayHorne3]

Two things its only practice and it is Truex

Bingo! Actually he has been real good in practices all year, but I'm starting to believe Mike's theory that he is cursed after that All Star open debacle

[shaunovery]

drivers will be reaching over 200 mph

so 199 mph is quite slow

[Vegas39]

I'm done throwing money on him

[5mike5]

Paying almost any attention to practices for a NASCAR bettor is the biggest mistake u can make.

thats chapter 1 in my upcoming handbook. LOL

[5mike5]

And Vegas I have no idea what a external battery pack is. Lol. But I need something. They say be few more hrs and I'm down to 9%. See u then. Lol

I don't even watch practise as mike says its so un-important

Once you have power will point you to a few good ones

Well just to fly in the face of that advice.

I always watch all practices if I can. It's not just about times, it's about the info you can glean.

Kyle Busch does not have the car speed, and Austin Dillon and Bowman do. Both single lap and long run.

As long as Dillon doesn't burn his tires off the car in the excitement of being dominant like he did last week... I'm Calling him a big SPECIAL.

All based on practice!

[5mike5]

I would never make a pick based on it alone in the CUP series. It will cost u way more money than it will ever win u from my experinces.. It's the #1 reason I make the money I do now compared to my when I first started.

just cause it works for me doesn't mean it's for everybody.

even when I look at long run avgs it screws me up it seems. And that's the 1 thing I do look at sometimes. Lol..but even that hasnt meant much of anything on raceday this season

[5mike5]

And could be different for lower series, I'm just talking cup events. I don't look at them in any series really, but I don't research lower series really either. Whatever helps each person win they should do

Just seems like cup series teams are always working on diff things, where nationwide probably all working on same

[Optional]

Yeah agree. It's way more relevant in NW than Cup.

Whatever though, practice is a big part of the fun of race weekend for me, so not going to stop watching it even if it means I make less money. (I am way ahead lifetime too though. On much smaller units than you of course)

[Optional]

Actually, Unit wise, I am probably not too far away from you over the last few years.

Now just if I could grow the big solid steel balls you have to bet thousands...

[5mike5]

i dont even keep track of "units" so i wouldnt know...i know most do, all i keep track of is how much money im making

but i dont have a certain "bankroll" amount either

[Optional]

Whats the story with Labonte and the #47???

Missed news

[5mike5]

Whats the story with Labonte and the #47???

Missed news

well he got benched...basically the whole story in a nutshell

brad D. said they wanted a different voice to see where their program is "really" at

[onlooker]

Carl Edwards +1500 (SC)

Hit it after he ran 202 mph during qualifying. Because they will drop him.

[Optional]

i dont even keep track of "units" sdo i wouldnt know

Yeah I know.

I'm guessing your units are about $250 or thereabouts.

I am about 200-300 units ahead lifetime (on my avg $25 units)

So I would be about $50k to $75K ahead if I was betting your size.

Imagine you are ahead of that number, but I'm doing ok bumbling along with my small stuff.

Been wondering why the team hasn't done it earlier actually.

Good move I think. That team has gone nowhere last 2 years.

[shaunovery]

wide open race this weekend

[5mike5]

listened to Dr. punch interview and he said several teams are gonna be factoring in fuel mileage into their engine setups this week...

doubt they can enough to matter too much on this track but...

does that mean dialing down power maybe?

[5mike5]

doesnt matter how much every1 bets, like u said as long as every1 is up over the season....just individual stuff and whats big to me maybe small to other posters..and small maybe big, ect

i would have to think almost every regular poster here is doing well

[5mike5]

does that mean dialing down power maybe?

i guess but how much can they really dial it down here?

cant imagine any1 wants to be a tick slower here just in case of fuel mileage

not sure its ever smart to do that, unless u can have both which maybe impossible

just what he said he was hearing

[shaunovery]

sometimes tough to be in profit if you bet all motor sports nascar/nw/f1/motogp

I think I would be quite a big bigger lifetime profit if I just stuck to motorsport.

Thrown quite a bit away on hockey in particular.

I might be wrong about that, just a feeling.
