SONOMA--5mike5

[5mike5]

I love MLB as well and have also done well this year. Anyone like any Q plays this week?

I didn't see any advantage in qualifying.

[5mike5]

That was an incredible ending I caught 4th and ot. Spurs have no chance after that choke job

[onlooker]

Baseball is the most boring sport on the planet to me.

The game doesn't start until the 7th inning, so just tune in to the games at the start of the 7th.

[Optional]

Disappointed I missed the +600 and better.

Agree he needed to be odds like to be worth taking really.

I'm hoping Owen Kelly, in The Field, can pull lout the the surprise win in Nationwide.

Hard to ignore how good Piquet and his car was last year though.

[shaunovery]

+425 ambrose now gonna get some nice odds this week about our picks

[shaunovery]

taken

Gordon +950
smoke +850
jimmy +950
bowyer +1200
kurt +1200

won't be adding any more drivers but will to the above list when prices get bigger

[5mike5]

i personally dont understand at all why #24 is single digit odds...well yes I do, .guess im thinking current team form which doesn't mean Anything On a road course

well he always finished top 10 here..guy use to dominate all road courses in late 90s early 2000s

surely that gets a little better imo, think jimmie will too or should which will be good for the guys that take them

think his previous record counts for alot when odds are released

[5mike5]

It's crazy even 5 years ago there we only a handful of drivers that even had a chance to win on the road courses and now there's probably 3-4x that many. Shows how good the drivers have become at them

All depends on qualifying. I'm hoping Stewart starts outside the top 10.

[5mike5]

Well he has been last few years. Still haven't decided on him either.

just tough to take the old guard of road racers to win these days on road courses. Wish those odds were better and could be if they start bad like u said

[JayHorne3]

Took Logano -115 over Hamlin in qualifying

I have been trying to watch some past Sonoma races on YouTube but my tv keeps freezing..I'm using a wireless router to connect and also pairing my phone..when I check 2 different Idevices the connection is working properly but not on the TV..2 times I have powered off/on and it reconnected but 3 others it took much longer.

As you can imagine this is very frustrating..I know that some of you guys are techy..are there any suggestions you can offer? I've never had this issue using Hulu, Netflix or Vudu just today while attempting YouTube.

TV- Sharp 70 in aquos
phone- note 2
Router- Motorola Surfboard

[shaunovery]

same problem 4me when I try and access YouTube via my smart tv

just use laptop or PC it's easier

[shaunovery]

needing opti to give us the nationwide winner this weekend

need it before Saturday because he may not be talking to me after the lions tonk the wallabies on sat lol

[5mike5]

Start recording the races. In know it will take u a few yrs to get ur library where u need it not better now than never. It's much easier that way

[5mike5]

I had to go buy alot of notebooks last week cause i ran out if room on alot of them, bought like 20, and clerk ask me if I was a school teacher or had 10 kids. Lmao!!!

[AllerWise]

I watched last years race on you tube via laptop w/ 3G rooted android wifi tether (Sprint Galaxy S2 ) as my net source. No problems here & i live in mts with no 4G yet. Im gettin ready to watch 2011 now.
Shaun I have the same picks in mind after watching 2012; I wanted to throw Joey Logano, Truex, Kyle, & JPM into the discussion. I see some value sprinkled among them. Im going to watch 2011 now, check back in after. But I would love to hear anyones thoughts for or against shaun's list asw well as the drivers aforementioned

Spurs pulled the "Peyton Manning" last night for sure.

[5mike5]

Most weeks I reccomend u watch more than just last 2 races. I would suggest at least last 4. I usually watch even more. I know most people don't have all week to research 30 + hrs like i do now, but if u can I suggest it

and if u watch them u need to start a notebook for every single racetrack and every driver. Will help you alot after a few yrs if u stick with it. But u have to be detailed in ur notes to max the info

[5mike5]

And don't make mistake of only making ur plays off past races. Just use as another tool even though its very important to me

[5mike5]

I haven't decided my other drivers yet. Have 3 so and only taking 1 more maybe 2 depending on the odds

wouldnt wait on mosy gys cause u wont be getting very good odds probably as most have already dropped

[shaunovery]

ambrose special guys

finishes in top 3 +120

any takers

[5mike5]

My most important tool are my notebooks by far. For each racetrack and notebook for every driver. They are priceless cause u can't get that info anywhere else. That's why I recommend them so much

[JackalLion]

I'm sure this post will not be popular but I'm still going to say that I think Ambrose is way over valued even at his opening odds. Every since the tire change in 2011 he just hasn't ran well enough to justify being such a huge favorite. He may be the greatest road course racer in the world but not in Sprint Cup at Infineon.

Of course this is just my opinion and I'm sure it will be an unpopular one..

i dont think any1 will disagree with that..pretty common knowledge imo but consider top 5 odds were all overrated it made my decision alot easier...it wont effect # of driver i take at those odds, and i wasnt planning on even betting ambrose at all but if i wanted to take another fav it wouldn't even hurt my margins

my thinking at +650, hes just as good as stewart, gordon, and jimmie in the same odds range, probably better actually on chances to win and def. the same as they never win here either lately (14/24)

every driver that opened in single digits was over-valued (#14/24 havent won here in 7 and 8 years, and jimmie's win was a gift given by ambrose)..

an since he wasnt near a huge favorite on openers (which my odds lasted less than 15 seconds after i bet him) hes just another driver on the roster, instead of a huge favorite like he is now....

thats the only reason i took him...he was +475 last season on openers and no way i would have taken him at that price

[DDT]

Ambrose is +350 now....wow

[5mike5]

Ambrose is +350 now....wow

odds will adjust soon on every1 else, hopefully tomorrow

[onlooker]

If I could get Ambrose 7/1, I would add him. I won't see that, so he will be left off.

Waiting on a couple more drivers. Already locked in 3 drivers.

[5mike5]

odds will adjust soon on every1 else, hopefully tomorrow

maybe late tonight/early morning...who knows

[5mike5]

Who did intake early JackalLion?

[JackalLion]

Only 2 so far..Jimmy and Kurt..I have 2 more picked out but I'm confident that there odds will get better.

Anyone taking any shots at Nationwide yet? I took Michael McDowel at +800. Not sure if I do much else this week in Nationwide, looking for others advice.
