    TEXAS--5mike5

    Alright boys we are heading off to TEXAS motor speedway this weekend for a good 'ol SATURDAY NIGHT race!!!...nothing better than saturday night Sprint cup racin in my opinion!!!...we need need 2 things not to happen this weekend for...Rain and Reuitmann, those are now both 4 letter words to me...lol...no excuses, losing is losing in my book so time to get back on track this weekend

    Texas motor speedway is a 1.5 mile Quad-oval racetrack...banking is 24 degrees in the turns and 5 degrees in the straights...the frontstretch is 2,250 feet long and the backstretch is 1,330 feet long

    already been watching the last races at the track and sturdying my notebooks on the drivers here and the track itself...cant wait to get the racing going after a LONG week of no racing!! as always any comments or useful contributions are always welcome on my thread and appreciated!!lets go out and win a big race this weekend boys!

    already bet DENNY HAMLIN this morning....

    just think his odds are a good value here...his best 1.5 mile track by far...just like the value more than anything else though

    will bet 1-2 more drivers early this week as usual, leaving myself room to move them to cover or keep adding bets during the week as things shake out...will post up the rest of my early wagers as i bet them

    *eek* not sure if right now is the best time to chat with Tony if you feel that way.

    Just don't forget we need Tony more for NASCAR than he needs us for 5Ds bottom line ;-)

    people can say whatever they want about 5dimes CS and everything and they arent perfect thats 4 sure, BUT....

    TONY is fair and thats just a fact...i explained that was MY mistake and asked nicely would he consider voiding the 2 wagers since i noticed in minutes and really was honest mistake....

    the very 1st thing he wrote back on chat was "THEY ARE VOIDED"...bottom line he looked at my account, understood it was honest mistake and voided my bets...the only other comment he made was "lets NOT have this happen ever again"..he may not be very nice or make conversation, but ill tell u what if its a fair mistake and u ask for help, he helps....needed him only 3 times since ive been there and has been completley fair about the problem and fixed it....people must be rude or something to the guy sometimes

    big ups to TONY for being fair...i appreciate that

    NOW i actually have hamlin and kennseth early bets for TEXAS race...lol

    will leave room to leave as covers or keep adding bets to them if needed...will probably just add 1 more early wager and save the rest for later in the week

    i think its more i said 1st off this was my fault and my mistake and ask if he would just look at it and i ask for his help...

    really didnt need to go to tony in the 1st place, as it was very seasily seen as a honest mistake, and took me just a few minutes to try and fix it

    just glad my money wont be tied up for the next 6 months on bets i didnt mean to make

    If you go into the convo not being a ass and be understanding, especially if its your fault, things may turn out your way.

    I have had wagers canceled at 5D before. I always got the "don't let it happen again" comment as well. Granted the cancels were far and in between. The issue would probably be if your cancelling out numerous times a month.

    exactlty looker....1st post i made was it WAS MY FAULT, but it was an honest mistake...and luckily he agreed...and then the "lets not ever let this happen again though"....hes sure not mr. personality, but all i care about is he has been fair to me the very few times i felt i needed to go that high up because agents will shut u down quickly no matter what there

    Reminds me of a situation that happened to some guys I know (who rarely bet) last year.
    They were getting ready to watch the Daytona 500 and decided they wanted to make a wager. About 4 or 5 of them pooled their money and called their buddy who was visiting in Vegas and told him they wanted him to put it on "the field" to win the 500.
    Of course, Trevor Bayne won making the wager an apparent winner.
    One of the guys was already scheduled to fly to Vegas the next day to hook up with their buddy and the pair went to the sports book to collect their winnings...about $8k-$9k.
    On presenting their ticket, they discovered their wager was for "the field" to win the championship, which eventually was a loser.
    Obviously, the incident led to some pretty hard feelings...

    I glad u got ur money cause I know what u mean bout holdn ur money up cause last year I did the damn thing and started cussing right after I did but it was only $30 so I didn't bother to ask for money..It was about 4 or 5 weeks b 4 chase started and I accidentally bet it on none other than Tony Stewart and I was mad cause he was running like shit at the time and I ended up winning almost 400 on my stupid mistake..I couldn't believe I won but I don't know why they put odds there cause it's easily done

    They use to not group the Championship odds with the Weekend race odds. Use to be in two different Sprint Cup drop downs.

    Made my early plays Tuesday after the lines came out at 5D. Took Tony and Matt. I like Denny here especially with DG's notes from last year but I'm not expecting his line to move that much because his qualifying is less than stellar here. If I get lucky he'll move to 1800. I'm def gambling on this but Denny has let me down ALOT especially at Pocono when he only went 1 lap. (personal experience mainly nothing stastical)

    i still feel i owe hamlin 1-2 more this year after that huge 15-1 win at phoenix though...im a sucker for him/kyle sometimes

    just another quick note, this race can pretty much be won from ANY starting position....hamlin has won from 29th and 30th in both races 2 seasons ago...watched both those races yesterday, he just lurked in both til crunch time...only led a total of around 45 total laps between his 2 wins

    hopefully may change odds in our favor, but qualifying great not a must here
