Still haven't made an early Cup plays this week, which is a first for me this seaso but that can change any min. Lol. I just wasn't tempted much by anything early and wanted to see the early market movement. And there hasn't been much yet. I might still take 1-2 early win bets, but In hoping to have 1-2 parlays to close from the lower series again this week and betting accordingly. so with that in mind my plays have to be well thought out in case I do have them.

**5mike5** · 06-15-17, 09:03 PM

Not a single drivers odds have got better since openers, just worse

Unreal

**5mike5** · 06-16-17, 04:21 PM

Most everybody qualified top 12

Larson on the pole, Truex 2nd

**Optional** · 06-16-17, 06:35 PM

thats good for ya!

plus I think u may need it with a big Vegas trip coming up in a few days!

**Optional** · 06-16-17, 09:02 PM

Yeah hopefully it sees me well re-charged for next week

But honestly, it's not right and even now after being up for only 4 hours I feel like a nap. Anyway, might be good for the flight tomorrow I guess.

**BigJay** · 06-17-17, 05:45 AM

Have a great trip Optional! I took last week off. Me and the Little lady went to the beach. (First vacation in awhile) I'll be in Vegas July 1-6. Staying at Mirage and Encore. Can't wait!

**BigJay** · 06-17-17, 05:48 AM

Michigan has always been the most difficult track to handicap for me. Like Mike said. Tires, fuel mileage, the one thing you can predict here is unpredictably. I have a big play pending on US open golf (sorry, wrong forum I know) on Fowler to win for 3 units so I may sit this weekend out. Might be tough to lay off a night race. Wish it was the Xfinity boys going at night but it's truck in the eve, correct?? Might make a small play on the Kyle B/Kyle L Saturday/Sunday combo for a unit and tail Mike's truck picks for a half unit each or so just for some action. He may win it again but don't think I'll be playing Bell at +165.

I'm not usually a big traveller myself so it feels kind of wild to just pop off to the other end of the world a couple of times within a few months too

There is about 16 or 17 forum posters all going to be there this next week. Going to be fun!

Unfortunately I didn't think it through well enough or would have broken my return trip in SF next weekend and went to the Sonoma race, instead of just having a quick stopover on Friday night. Rang United today and tried to change but they said no

**BigJay** · 06-17-17, 06:14 AM

That would have been sweet. We were out there in Vegas during race week. It was pretty cool. About 10 of the top drivers paraded up and down the strip with their cars. I believe it was 2012 and Smoke won. We didn't go to the race and I wish we would have because the weather was perfect. I do remember cashing a ticket on Smoke to win though and watching the race at the Mirage so that was pretty cool. Nothing like being there though. I found that out after they opened the F1 track near my home town in Texas.

Im not that confident in truck race tonight to be honest. Rarely I regret many early plays but not loving those I took this week early. I Like xfinity much more, but who knows maybe opposite happens. Lol.

Agree ahout Bell odds being so low. Leaning praying Sauter at 2x the odds but have to see what they are when parlayables lost later

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 10:12 AM

Xfinity qualifying results:

Kyle B on the pole

Keslowski 2nd

Love the Austin track. One of the best there is.

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 11:31 AM

XFINITY:

keslowski (+300)

parlays:

Kyle Busch wins the race (+175)
open

keslowski>Hamlin (-140)
hemeric>Dillon (+100)

short and sweet this afternoon. I will be shocked if Kyle B and Keslowski don't just dominate this thing.

GOODLUCK!!!

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 12:07 PM

On a side not for tomorrow's CUP race:

It's gonna be TOUGH as nails to pick a winning roater with what odds will be and everybody u can think of looks good this week. Hopefully I can muster up as least 1 parlay from today's races that sure would help the cause

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 12:54 PM

Lap 1 Kyle B wrecks

dont try and block Keslowski or u get the horns

**the1yankee** · 06-17-17, 02:02 PM

Hemric is a can! Oh well. Got late n needed a bet. Cant win em all. Gl rest of week M5!

**the1yankee** · 06-17-17, 02:06 PM

Bring a monster winner

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 02:27 PM

Yeah xfinity race didn't turn out well. Keslowski pit stall killed him all day

we will get em on Cup, that's really all that matters if we can win that

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 03:02 PM

My early play on Rhodes (+1150) for the truck race tonight has been HAMMERED down

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 05:47 PM

**5mike5** · 06-17-17, 09:41 PM

Finished 2nd and 3rd in the truck race

damn

need my luck to change when it really counts for cup race

**5mike5** · 06-18-17, 12:03 AM

Well all things considered the top guys I like are just way too low of odds for my liking at a reactrack that probably will have tons of strategy calls to try and get track position all race long. And for the first time in months I'm not working with any parlays to close from the lower series so that doesn't help matters. Just gonna try and play the best few guys on value and hope for the best this week. Even if I picked 6-7 guys I still wouldn't be confident at this racetrack. So fingers crossed and I'll post as I make decisions.

**5mike5** · 06-18-17, 06:26 AM

So far:

harvick (+800)
elliot (+1300)
logano (+1300)
jones (+3300)

again not going with top favs single, as odds are just too low for my liking. Too much can happen here strategy wise. Will add another play or 2 later this morning.

**5mike5** · 06-18-17, 06:32 AM

Even though I won't take truex or Larson by themselves If I really like any h2h I may parlay one if the odds make sense when parlayables post
