TEXAS--5mike5

[shaunovery]

and my #1 pick won...dont be jelly.....im picked 7 all 17-1 and worse but 1 at +1150....and 2 longshots of 80-1 and 60-1 which arent real picks and u know it

i dont bet the top 3 favs weekly either, and today and my picks made me a killin...and to me thats the bottom line babay

I ain't jealous at all glad someone got the winner after a terrible start to the race

All in all enjoyed the race

[5mike5]

then my fault i mis understood...its that england to america barrier...lol

i was like i bet mostly longshots and didbt bet 13 of anything..

my fault ill erase my response...so many great odds u could have bet 2 more than the usual 4-5....well i dont count 890-1 lomhsots as reral plays i think can win really

thanks for the support

[5mike5]

lets keep it going for DARLINGTON next wekekend boys

a saturday night race!!!!!!

not sure where the nationwide race is, but it wont be there i dont think its ever at darlington.....id have to look

ill have the thread up sometime tomorrow morning or afternoon

[5mike5]

Had Logano in the bag

actually we had 1 go our way..lol

[5mike5]

what was funny is we were talking about ho GORDON always finds a way to lose the race....

even though this time he really didnt have a chnce with old tires

[PAULYPOKER]

to those who cashed..........

[shaunovery]

Onto nxt week a short week with racing on sat night

[5mike5]

to those who cashed..........

thankfully sevral of us did...i really needed it just to get on th right track asfter that disaster of a begining of the season as usual

[yisman]

Points leaders:

1)Jeff Gordon
2)Kenseth
3)Edwards
4)Logano

Not the top 4 people were expecting before the season. Kenseth would be the only one people would've put top 4 I think.

I know points don't matter as much with the new stupid system NASCAR put in place. Nice to review anyway.

[5mike5]

this has been justb the craziest start to a season i personally have ever seen...for handicapping purposes....i actually did better this season tghan last after tiday but that is not the point....theres just not a whole lot of reasoning behind it...and as we all know throught a race 100 things happen to chnage thibngs around to make things happen we didbntr expect ect ect.....just like last week or this week had larson got gup thee on last restart and won, or even gordon on last restart....guys like edwards and kennseth just being TRASH yoday mostly at great tracks for them....i think gordons crew chief has probably figured out all the new changes better and alot faster than any others....7 different winners tio start the season is the most in over a decade (2003)...but it will get easier week by week...it always does with these changes...thats why i always usually struggle the 1st 6-7 races every year to start the season off and then get hot as fire...then after pavements heat up in the sunner there's another whole set of changes to go thu which 2 yars ago won 17 in a row, but last season had my worst losbg srreak of my career if losing 6 races in a row...sometimes it is just bad luck or good luck involved....

either way hopefully things start settling down....maybe we should only pick non- race winners til we get a repeat winnershit fire it might evenwork........u think brad Kesowsllwould have given it his all since his teammate doesnt have a win yet? i really have no idea but its something think about

anyways after ma rambling on, hopefully things gets easier on the winning of the race side o things,,,several guys like milehigh and Yisman have really been impressive when it comes to the H2Hs and top 3s ect ect typr of bets...,,,,people need to start paying attention to them more...myself incuded

anyways i will have the Darlingtonm Thread uo tomorrow....im celebrating my arse off tonight by watching TV and going to Outback

[5mike5]

PS.

McMurray did beat Truex Jr. so keslowski win i would have also won my parlay....

jamie was 17th and truex 18th

[JayHorne3]

Anyone laying anything on the NCAA game tonight? I took the under 135 as a little action

[milehigh]

Anyone bet on golf? I haven't been following this year but made good money betting the majors last year...mostly on top 10 finishers. Would love some input...

Been watching for years, just started betting within the last 2 years. Most of my winning comes from top 10 bets as well and match-ups. Not had much luck picking winners. From what I have seen to this point in the year, Dustin Johnson and Zach Johnson have been playing as well as anyone on tour especially Dustin. I am also a big believer in the Spieth kid as well. I think he is going to score a big win or two this year. Could be a major

[5mike5]

I pick 3-4 players to in usually for masters and british or uis openand maybe 1 other a year...i hit 1 maybe johnson and els for sure posted here@ 65-1 the last few years...

only play those 2 maybe 3 tourneys all year

and i know nothing at all about golf, was just pure luck and my usual shot at a long odd players

[milehigh]

Yes...always done well with Top 10 bets and will never bet the winner. Didn't Dustin Johnson pull out last week with back issues? Any word on him?

Right now the only thing I have my eye on is Charl Schwartzl Top 10 +290 and Angel Cabrera Top 20 +200. Haven't really focused in yet.

[milehigh]

Should we start a Masters thread within the NASCAR forum? I'd rather discuss it with you fellas...maybe even Mike since he's on a streak

[5mike5]

and hes hit a major winner in 2 of his last 6 attempts with just 3-5 lonhshot plays too keep in mind

actually me and shaunovery hit els at 65-1

[5mike5]

Anyone laying anything on the NCAA game tonight? I took the under 135 as a little action

started open 3-slot open parlay, but with a longshot alt line of course

uconn -6.5 (+290)
open
open

[milehigh]

Lol I don't doubt your ability. And if I pick winners for masters, I'll definitely just reach deep in the field for someone 50-1 or greater. No value in betting the favorites

Wish id used that strategy and avoided maxing JJ today ha ha!

[Optional]

Nice work champion. You were on Logano from the moment this week started

[avssakic]

Ahhhh yes the masters! Liking spieth and reed as long shots. Day always plays well there. Maybe Sergio finally gets one? He's playing well

[avssakic]

Well won on the race, the bball game with uconn +2.5, come on ducks -1 to get me the hat trick hah

[yisman]

PS.

McMurray did beat Truex Jr. so keslowski win i would have also won my parlay....

jamie was 17th and truex 18th

I bet McMurray over 17.5 +130



I only bet six HTHs before the original start time. The race getting pushed back buried me. All the later bets

1. 4/6/2014 3:15 PM SprintCup Motor Racing 7555 Dale Earnhardt Jr #88* +120 vs Denny Hamlin #11 (maxed)
   
2. 4/6/2014 3:15 PM SprintCup Motor Racing 7559 Kurt Busch #41* +100 vs Ryan Newman #31 (maxed)
3. 4/6/2014 3:15 PM SprintCup Motor Racing 7565 David Ragan #34* +105 vs David Gilliland #38
   

4/6/2014 3:15 PM SprintCup Motor Racing 7550 Kevin Harvick #4* -130 vs Brad Keselowski #2

4/6/2014 3:15 PM SprintCup Motor Racing 7540 Ricky Stenhouse Jr #17* +160 vs Martin Truex Jr #78 (maxed)

very thin day for NASCAR HTHs. I bet a lot less than usual. Here's the last one:

Carl Edwards Money Line +110 for Game over Stewart

7515 Dale Earnhardt Jr #88* -155 vs Kasey Kahne #5

Austin Dillon Money Line -115 for Game over Stenhouse

Brian Vickers Money Line +120 for Game over Newman

[7528] KURT BUSCH (CLINT BOWYER vrs KURT BUSCH)

+105

Matt Kenseth Money Line -140 for Game over Logano

7510 Kevin Harvick #4* -175 vs Joey Logano #22

7511 Kevin Harvick #4* -175 vs Jeff Gordon #24

7514 Dale Earnhardt Jr #88* -120 vs Jeff Gordon #24

looking over HTHs again and betting more

7546 Matt Kenseth #20* -120 vs Kyle Busch #18

[7542] AUSTIN DILLON (RICKY STENHOUSE JR vrs AUSTIN DILLON) -120 MU [7528] KURT BUSCH +105 (C. BOWYER vrs KURT BUSCH) MU [7522] C. EDWARDS +110 (T. STEWART vrs C. EDWARDS) [7504] BRAD KESELOWSKI (KYLE BUSCH vrs BRAD KESELOWSKI) -125

some of these are rebets, of course, in which case they'll only be counted once for the record. Going to be confusing to grade this time.

3 rebets in the last one, which don't count.


Could hardly be worse.



Daytona: 13-1, +1185
Phoenix: 6-6, -10
Las Vegas: 8-7, +90
Bristol: 10-8, +220
Fontana: 9-4, +490
Martinsville: 11-5, +665
Texas: 2-14, -1520

overall: 59-45, +1120

[Optional]

Ouch. Fading Logano and Gordon when they finsih 1-2 was a killer.

[yisman]

big thing was a lot of them were riding on Kurt, Junior, and Harvick, and all of them met with mishaps
