and almost hit an 85-1 shot only to get blocked by a car to rub salt in that disaster

couldnt have been more brutal of a day

**milehigh** · 03-23-14, 05:28 PM

Wow...I thought I was gonna get slaughtered on this race. Having Larson and Kurt Busch in top 3 completely redeemed it for me. What a mess.

Good Luck Guys!

First off the tire issue was terrible, and really hurt the handicapping factor and the majority of the race. But man I was able to benefit from it. Got the cover and the parlay to go along with a sweep of h2hs. Sure needed it after last week. Larson coming into a zone maybe!

**WolverineFan** · 03-23-14, 05:38 PM

Man almost had Larson come fly in thru there get that long shot..ended w good finish but tires was huge problem after such good race yesterday

Bowyer and Kes going down with 6 or 7 to go and Gordon being terrible on restarts saved me. Good job too!

I'm the same way I love watching but don't know enough yet to find value to bet so I'm going to keep watching to increase my knowledge base.

I agree. I love to bet a few winners but I really research Top 3 finishes more. I got paid +1900 on Larson and +800 on Kurt Busch for being in top 3 (I had also bet #4 and #88 for top 3's as well).

Of course the odds aren't as good, but there's too much parity and random events like yesterday in NASCAR for me to go out and try to cherry pick winners.

I had an awesome Bristol weekend and the troubles with the #48/24 saved my ass yesterday. I'd rather be lucky than good--but that's racing!

Very nice Yis.

**milehigh** · 03-24-14, 04:33 PM

Martinsville this weekend--hoping that the favorites open at 8-1 or higher. Ironic that the 2 drivers that dominate Martinsville have reason to be extra motivated this weekend after California :-)

Favs 8/1 or higher you've gotta be joking Jimmie won't be higher than 3/1

**5mike5** · 03-24-14, 05:04 PM

until cherry picking winners doesn't pay all our bills for a year that's what ill always stick with, the main strategy anyways....and it has every year for 5+ straight seasons so i dont see it changing...just depends how u gamble, how much, and what ur handicapping strategy is... ill be doing that til it doesn't...i still play other things h2hs more and props but not til the season gets into full swing...start of seasons is always my toughest time so ive learned to expect it...its a long season and thats what im focused on

**5mike5** · 03-24-14, 05:05 PM

Ill have the Martinsville Thread posted up by this evening or early in the morning

doing my notebook shit and watching races but ill post it soon

Yeah 8-1 would have been a dream. Jim opened 2-1 at sportsbook, so maybe 3-1 at dimes. I was hoping for 4-1 on jim and 8-1 on jeff, but as my mom use to say, hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster.
Some good longshot odds, but those two favs are going to be hard to beat.

**shaunovery** · 03-24-14, 05:17 PM

I wouldn't be too eager to bet jimmy at openers

**yisman** · 03-24-14, 05:18 PM

Larson finished 2nd without leading a single lap.

That's probably pretty unusual

**Jmac926** · 03-24-14, 05:21 PM

I agree, No matter how good he looks in practice, can he really be lower than 2/3-1 on raceday?

**5mike5** · 03-24-14, 05:21 PM

hoping for 4-1 on jimmie is being optimistic at best probably

8-1 isnt even serious hope...thats not even gonna be close....be nice of course!

and poor Gordon, no matter how good he is on sunday he always finds a way to lose races...thats all i thought yesterday about him

I dont think Gordon will ever win another race that doesnt have a long green run to the end. He might be worse than Kasey on restarts.

**shaunovery** · 03-24-14, 05:25 PM

Yeah Gordon is like Kahne and junior wins very few and far between but always need to look at them

**Slimpickens** · 03-24-14, 05:58 PM

Was I the only one that thought the last 25-30 laps yesterday were an absolute joke? All of a sudden guys can only run 20 or so laps without cutting a tire. WTF? Biggest embarrasment I have ever seen in nascar. I think I will just go back to being a fan and maybe take 1 guy a race for some action.

**Slimpickens** · 03-24-14, 06:03 PM

Of course leave it to that scrub Clint Bowyer to be the one to bring out the caution and ruin Jeff's EZ win.

it was a terrible race

I don't think anyone liked it except maybe the Kyles

I doubt the viewers enjoyed it

I was hoping Landon Cassill would win, but it was pretty much impossible because he's so much slower than the good cars.
