gotta wait till they say the rules. but i have some early leans. take guys that are long now to make the chase then off set with a little jj action to cover your bets. has worked out great the last 5 years. last year jj was actually my biggest payday, once everyone got on the kenseth band wagaon and jj haveing bad races before the chase. they actually had better odds on jj win the chase started then in may. crazy how these books book the futures.
early leans ( and again this is based on just makig the chase) biffle @40, hamlin and kahn @18, harvick @20 (which is a great number and he will most likely be my number 1 guys this year)Comment -
Hey Sub first off good luck this year and hope you've dug out of snow. As we talked about playing poker I have only bet two so far Hamlin as got a very good number ( plus wife loves him) and Brad who I think has a huge ounce back after last season.
Only my opinion but wouldn't touch JJ at the +230 range he is at now. Hate tying up money for close to 40 weeks on such short odds. And a few less than stellar weeks and this price will climb IMOComment -
Id take Logano over Hamlin as a long shot bet, that kid is really starting to come into his own.Comment -
Ku Busch, Harvick, Hamlin, Kesolowski, Logano
Like Ku Bush and Harvick a lotComment -

im on Jr Harvick so farComment -
Keslowski @ 14-1 to win the championship is hard for even me to pass up on and I never bother with championship bets. He's gonna have a monster year. Book that.
Also harvick 25-1 even though not sure what to expect from that team on year 1 but the value is there.
Still doubt I mess with these bets now no matter what though. Just my opinion on a few with some value
at good oddsLast edited by 5mike5; 01-22-14, 11:22 PM.Comment -
Whats Loganos odds for this year.Comment -
I really like Harvick +2500. Of course SHR has to improve on the 1-1.5 mile tracks, think they only had like 2 finishes better than 10th as a team in their first 10 races on the 1-1.5 track types last season and only a few top 5s throughout the entire season on those track types as well. However I am sure with their equipment and resources, they should bounce back. If they do, I can see Harvick having a big season and Kurt Busch for that matter.

I had forgotten about Kurt going there too.
Mega team; Smoke, Happy, Sourpuss and Glamorpuss.
Hope jumping from 2 to 4 cars isnt too much for them. So many more people needed, apart from the money. Wonder who will get the dregs for their crew..Comment -
you guys see what william hill has done? this looks like some fun action bets for futures.

There's a TON of good value on championship bets just because as long as u have the final 4 on the last race ur value is through the roof. But I still can't tie up 500-4figs for that long. But even tossing a few 100 on the longer double- digit shots actually might be fun to have something to root for. Especially since u will be rooting them on for every race not just a week. I mean I can just can justify it when I could win same amounts on any given week. But I could change my mind.Comment -
I like what they did..gives me a chance to weed out guys i dont think will be there and cash a ticket..brad as example...will make chase but the tire and feul strategy will keep him from final 4 unless he wins tx.....got some work to do as futers are my thingComment -

got bored while watching quaifing on sunday. made a list of winners for the year and thus chase drivers. drivers with at least 1 win...
48,20,18,5,4,24,11,2,99,41,15,16. so 12 drivers make it on wins. could be 14 if 1, or 9 hit the board. leaves either 2 or 4 spots on points. lean towards 88,14,22,78 for points. if amrose doesnt win on road coarse then i think final spot comes down to jamie or truex.
with that said, lets look at first 3 chase races. winners have bonus points so feel that based on points those would be the 12 that advance, however of the 12 id say 16 would be most liekly not to advance since nh is a bad track for the biff. however, if he gets chicago or dover could still advance. first four out would be 1(or 9) 16, 22 and 88 (unless jr can get a win in first 26)
next 3 as croney said may define championship. of 12 left andpoints now all equal, this is where kyle better get thru kansa or is going to need a win at charlotte. jj must be carefull as well as charlotte dont good for him lately. with that i project next four out as 22, 41, 14 and 99.
and then there was 8...if jj get to here could be lights out. 3 tracks of martinsville, tx and pho got his name all over the place. should get a win to advance. others (again if they get here) would be 24 and 11. all are very good at the 3 tracks and could be race winners. if not 1 will make it on points or 2 if we have multi winner. (choices for that would be 48, or 11)..think its time for 5,4,2 and 20 to go home. list changes if klye is out then i think 4 goes thru.
last race? ill take 11 in a trhilling finish over 18 and 24.
so with that i got 6 units on hamlin @15 from wynn bet back in december before all changes came out, all my other early bets seem worhless at this point, but i do have some 5,4,16 and 22 (again bet back in december with the thought that they will at least make chase 12. now with 16 should make chase but the throw out formatt makes it a little tougher on these guys)
william hill props found a few plays. jr elimited in challenger round 7/1. gordon out in championship round +3.5. kurt out in contender round +150. and kahne out in eliminator round +2.40Comment -
after yesterdays score, put 8 units on harvick at 12 and 10/1 to win cup. still think he has to get thru the first 3 (which should be easy with points, dont think he will win any of those) but after that he is top 4 at leastComment -
Weird seeing jj hold steady at around +225 considering you likely can get him for that the day of the last raceComment -
Ambrose 500-1 seems high considering hes gotta be 30-40% to win one race this year, I know his chase chances would still be way slim but not 500-1 slimComment
