    The Gatorade DUELS--5mike5

    alright guys we got both of the Gatorade Duel races coming up this Thursday...

    the coverage will start at 1pm est on thurday the 23rd on SPEED channel

    there will also be 2 practices on wednesday, but offically those are daytona 500 practices...

    **i only treat these 2 races as "extra information" for capping the 500...i will propbably just pick 2-3 drivers per race max., and just off top of my head...i will not be using my betting system until the daytona 500...all my capping will be put toward sunday, and no point in trying to use adapt my system to sprint races at plate tracks...the duels are basically sprint races that are even more a crap shoot than usual plate races, so i will treat them as just that, but you can still win a good amount of money with the odds so i have to have some action on each...

    goodluck to every1 and i will be starting a daytona 500 thread in the next day or 2 also...just figured enough of us would have a entertainment wager on these 2 races so might as well start up a thread for the duels

    there will be 25 participants in duel #1 and 24 participants in duel #2

    the only multi-time winner of the races in the past 7 years is jeff gordon and smoke

    GOODLUCK on every1s wagers on the duels!!!

    it will be exciting yes, but i dont cap these 2 races, cause there just sprints....the few i will pick for each will just be for fun and entertainment so dont put much stock in the "picks"...but if u pick winner the odds will still be very nice payoffs

    Took Allmendinger last week at +3200 to win the 500...saw lots of value. Very capable new ride he's fallen into, and AJ runs the Great American Race fairly well. Hoping to hit the lottery here.

    Thanks Mike. Can't wait to see your 500 picks. Everyone should be at least +700 to win...when I was looking last week at the futures, the lowest I saw was Harvick at like +1050.

    yeah always are at both plate tracks...9 to 1 should be the favorite..has been around there last 5 years anyways

    almost impossible to cap daytona races, but ill give it a shot of course....my system and cappin really gets too work in phoenix the week after...stats, trends, and my motebooks actually pay off at regular tracks

    Bookmaker, Greek, Sportsbook.com, sportsbetting, BetUS, Youwager, and bovada all have had odds for the 500 up since yesterday and the first 4 have had matchups for the duel races since yesterday.

    Sportsbook.com is currently offering Ford at +300 to win the race obviously somebody was not paying attention during qualifying.

    yeah every book has had 500 odds up already, mine for weeks now...just been down 2 days at my book, and will be up today

    yeah qualifying doesnt mean jack here though....but they did look fast but this race just a crap shoot and hope to get lucky....

    the system i use really starts up the 2nd week at phoenix...i ran the table at plate tracks last year winning 4 of 4 but even i admit more luck than cappin skills at plate tracks

    Have to wait and see if NASCAR makes any changes that will help the chevy rides from overheating!

    5D are either being extra careful or have cut back on their NASCAR team by the looks eh?

    Other books have had markets up for days.

    all i really wanted is matchup and maybe 2 guys per duel...but just for fun really...i dont plan to even spend a few 100 per race unless i see something crazy i like, but very unlikely....just doesnt make sense with the full slate for this weekend imo

    U even going to be awake for the duel races in the afternoon opti?

    Duels!

    Not the most exciting race of the week, but will be a good warm up before the truck race. Off to bed now, but waking up early - 5am - to watch the qual races. I'll check in with you guys then. I'm excited! Racing season is upon us!

    Hey MatI...what do you think about Marcos -105 against TBayne in the first duel? Looks like your guy came to play for this Speedweeks...that #9 looks really strong.

    I like Bobby Labonte +115 over Reutimann @ The Greek. Those BK racing cars haven't been fast in practice.

    edit: Just noticed someone already made a thread about that

    I am very tempted. but there is nothing to race for with the top 35 rules. I expect the top guys to pretty much take it easy. I dont think Marcos will risk his car in the qual race just to get a good start. It will be a yellow fest in the 500 and plenty of time to make up positions! I think everyone will be fighting to get to the back of the pack!

    Seriously, im off now, need to try and get some sleep!

    i havent bet any yet...matchups at daytona are just all toss-ups...not many to choose from either....even on regulat weeks my focus is on race winners, and my 1 atchup parlay per race is really just for entertainment...

    im playing the duels for fun, not using my cappin system or anything like i will for regular Cup races...ill post them when i decide, but im not putting any thought in the duels for matchups or winner of each race

    i dont think edwards or biffle will even try on these duels...as long as they keep the cars clean they start 1 and 2 in the 500...however i they get in a wreck, they start the 500 in the back of the line.....theres just not any point in racing the Duels hard for them..im just not sure they risk it...i wont be suprised if they dont pull off the track near the end of the races, after trying a few things out for 500....could be wrong but just something to think about in the match-ups for both duel races
