    In addition to keeping records and watching practice, it's worth a few minutes a week to follow the top drivers and check twitter. BK practically gave out a Namath like guarantee when he said he had the best car he's ever brought to Bristol (considering he won there last year).

    If we don't restart, Shaun will hit Harvick Top 5 and WolverineFan will hit Smoke for the win, and $42 profit to punt again next week.

    Saw the prices at 5D this morning for Martinsville, not much value but I like Ryan Newman at 27-1, what do you guys like?

    Geez, there is a forest of favorites... Newman probably does represent some value but i'd like to see him practice well before jumping on him I think personally.


    Tony Stewart +500
    Jimmie Johnson +600
    Kyle Busch +650
    Carl Edwards +700
    Kevin Harvick +750
    Denny Hamlin +1200
    Matt Kenseth +1200
    Greg Biffle +1300
    Brad Keselowski +1400
    Jeff Gordon +1500
    Dale Earnhardt Jr +1700
    Kasey Kahne +2000
    Clint Bowyer +4000
    Ryan Newman +4500
    Jeff Burton +6600
    Juan Pablo Montoya +8000
    Kurt Busch +15000


    Denny has to be value at +1200 I think. He is in good form, must be fired up after losing 8 places through a pit call after last week (although that could work against him mind wise too I guess) and has an average finish of 3.7 here over the last 10 races (equal best with JJ) and won both races in 2010 before his poor 2011 season.

    And Jeff Gordon who has 9 top 5s from his last 10 starts here might be worth some thought at +1500 I think?

    I'm kinda sorta tempted by the +15000 on Kurt... just because 5Dimes never list anything that long, so it's probably forced value to offset all the short priced guys.

    Ignore all that bullshit. I was looking at the Championship market


    Denny Hamlin +550
    Jimmie Johnson +550
    Kyle Busch +650
    Tony Stewart +675
    Jeff Gordon +750
    Kevin Harvick +950
    Carl Edwards +1600
    Dale Earnhardt Jr +1600
    Brad Keselowski +1600
    Kasey Kahne +2200
    Ryan Newman +2700
    Clint Bowyer +2700
    Jeff Burton +3300
    Matt Kenseth +3300
    Jamie McMurray +3300
    Martin Truex Jr +3800
    Greg Biffle +3800
    AJ Allmendinger +3800


    Burton +3300 is the only thing that immediately jumps out at me. Have to think about it more.


    5D have Jimmie up at +100 against Burton -130 for qualifying btw... can't see why. Anyone got any thoughts before I jump on it?

    I've made my first bet of the week for the club

    A $5 open parlay on JJ over Burton in quali.

    Just 1 leg left open for a win bet on someone.

    I have $17 left to punt with.

    ^^^ yeah, easy to believe it was an error.

    Don't really like the proclamation that it was "Clear line error" though. If it was clearly an error to me I would not have bet it, and no other expert here popped up suggesting it might be either. What's 'clear' from a bookmaker's point of view, or in hindsight, is not always clear to us players looking at a fresh market.

    Tony likes to assume we all want to jump on errors but does not seem to realize us dumbass punters also assume some basic stuff. Like he knows something we don't most times we see a price we like a lot.

    Last race he and Greek had a matchup priced the opposite way around. Are we to expect to get bets cancelled in that situation too, as clearly one of them had a 'clear line error'. Or did they? I posted that here too and no one jumped up and said that looks like an error. 5D has had what look like 'clear line errors' on Marcos Ambrose prices I have pointed out more than once this year too. 'Clear errors' against the player don't come into the equation of thinking though of course.

    Anyway, easy to see why the attitude puts people off. Displays no sense of fairplay, even when the attitude is not needed. Could easily have just said "We made an error and need to cancel this bet". No issues at all this end. People make mistakes. But to put that simple extra word displays the arrogance of a business we probably should not trust to do the right thing if a real problem ever arises.

    As much as I like 5 Dimes, for a bunch of reasons, it's the little stuff like this that makes it impossible to love or fully trust them.

    i have to say that seems like a clear error of jimmy +100 over burton in qualifying...(at any track really)

    guessing they meant it to be Gordon, not burton??

    just glancing over my notebook i think jimmy has beat him 9 of last 10 qualifying sessions at the paperclip...shouldnt give u attitude anyways though
