One of my favorite tracks in Nascar. Any of you guys in Vegas going to be viewing it in person?

Slimpickens · 03-03-14, 08:39 PM

Sportsbook.ag 1st to post odds. Not very good either IMO. Jimmy 5-1 fav, Matt and Kyle 7-1. Im sure Dimes will be better on openers.

Thats when we'd be there too

5mike5 · 03-03-14, 10:39 PM

**also, i finally fixed post #1 if any gives a shit

5mike5 · 03-04-14, 02:27 AM

I'm gonna have a few sleepers early bets this week. I'm sure I'll have 1-2 obvious picks depending on the odds. Pretty much everybody will be a on a few but won't be able to take but 3 max if odds Are super low on all the favs especially if u wait around. Betting all favs kill u on NASCAR anyways. At least closing odds will

No driver wins a lot here. Especially in bunches lately. Matt has 3 wins but only last year was only one 1 in the Last 8-9 races here without looking I think. Hell kasey kahne has never won here but he DOMINATED this race last season. Strategy won the race for Matt last year here

Might even see a mid pack guy odds wise win this week who knows it Tuesday. It's just so early in season we are in feel out mode til end of March

Just a a few late night early thoughts. All is totally meaningless until I see odds course and how many I bet on openers and I wait on

homervdoh · 03-04-14, 05:04 AM

I was reading alot in last weeks thread about never betting race winners (harvick, jr) cuz theyre locked in chase, seems idiotic. Guys run where the car dictates they'll run imo, and if they're going with experimental setups for future use in chase it'll be obvious in practice. Besides, they still get first round chase bonus points for wins. This is all prob obvious now anyway with how jr ran last week.

Looking forward to it wish it was next week. Onto Vegas looks tough to cap we all know who's standout at 1.5 miles tracks trying to find some value

I basically agree mostly about race winners of course if they can win they will, the better chance they advance in the chase elimination round 1 too which I didn't think about and probably some didn't remember or know either.
Plus us if they can win they will, but I also know for a fact no matter how good or great the car is they won't take crazy chances with wrecking cars or anything like that cause the drivers and owners all have said that . My opinion has nothing to do with dale jr that's just 1 race but I mostly think that's how it goes.

And if a driver has a win or not will not factor into my handicapping at all. Maybe later in the season but definatly not anytime soon. I wouldn't bet dale jr any week usually though. Lol.

They will play with setups and pressures ect mid seasons on teams though with guys locked into chase on certain racetracks which usually hurts them trying a bunch of new stuff. Maybe then it would cross my mind.

5mike5 · 03-04-14, 08:49 AM

All dale jr did last week Saturday is out harvick's exact setup in his car. A Rare time a car looks great in practice and races that same way. That's why he was so good. Didn't find that out til yesterday but with shr and Hendricks having the close relationship that's how easy it was to get harvick's setup from shr. Kinda surprising to me

5mike5 · 03-04-14, 09:18 AM

I might not get laid for months after last night.

Inatead ad of just trying like usual to pull all nighter and sleep some in day til opening odds come out every week I tried something new this week. Setting my alarm to go off every 30-45min.

Oh I totally did. Was thoughtless move by me. Not on purpose but I should have thought about it. I paid for it and might for days. LOL. Time for a nine dinner or something I guess

Might even take a whole day out doing something. Luckily she isn't materialistic at all and already has jewelry and need wants it anymore. 2 big pluses for me. Lol.

I know they are usually the 1st to post. Only 1 too post has been sportsbook.ag and they have been up for nearly 18 hours. Atleast gives you an idea of what the odds will be. Pretty sad really these books cant get there odds up sooner.

Yes and never see 5dimes up before thegreek, at least not that I recall

Vegas39 · 03-04-14, 11:33 AM

Oh my. What a money burner that guy has turned into over the past few years. Now he wants a new circuit? I wish he would just leave nascar. Probably likely if he doesnt start performing. What is this his 3rd different team in 4 years or something??

Slimpickens · 03-04-14, 11:37 AM

Have any of you guys ever asked dimes why they are among the last books to open there odds for Nascar? Wonder what the excuse could possibly be. It's not like they set there own lines for each driver each race.

I don't. 1 reason they always beat wvery other books openers every week.

think they go after Greek cause they are 2nd best always and they want to make sure they beat their odds too by at least a little bit and even been better than that this season so far

race is 5 days away so really not that bad at all. Last season Wednesday was much more common than Tuesday even by mid season

they have to wait on their guys to give them to them. I don't think each book has their own guys making them to open. Sportsbook who are usually bad ( not rippin them) and they are first always

Kurt's too damn good a driver to leave imo. He's just always wanted to the the Indy race 1 time. Only time he ever plans on it. He has been a $ burner but look what he was driving. Really no1 should have bet him much in those cars even though we all did a few times. He can win a lot of races now that he actually in good equipment again imo.

Compare what he did, which was AMAZING last year imo, in that #78 car to what truex does with it this year

5mike5 · 03-04-14, 12:21 PM

Re slim:

u really want to see what bad odds are, check out wagerweb NASCAR odds sometime for a good laugh. THEY are the worst of any book I've ever seen that posts odds for NASCAR.

I mean they they use to beat least 30% worse than the worst odds at any other book
