DARLINGTON (sun night race)---

**5mike5** · 08-28-18, 11:39 AM

Starts after 6pm so first half will be in daylight then night. Its a 500 mile marathon race

**5mike5** · 08-28-18, 11:53 AM

Openers for top.Cup guys were brutal to say the least. Thankfully I have that nice parlay to close from trucks last week at least to save a lot of risk and get great odds on a couple of them. Will post all early plays when finished up

Xfinity has Harvick, Hamlin and Keslowski this week.

**BigJay** · 08-28-18, 11:59 AM

Mike, Brad K at +400 in Xfinity seems like a decent play?? Thoughts?

4-1 is always ok for that car with a Cup driver in it although I dont see much upside in taking him early here at that number. Odds are gets better before worse imo, but thats always a risk as u know early but i cant see him being the fav on raceday over hamlin. But prob wont swing much either way. Hamlin and Harvick are both studs at Darlington.

**reigle9** · 08-28-18, 05:57 PM

took harvick 400 in xfinity and logano 25/1 in cup

**unlearn** · 08-28-18, 09:26 PM

Just Hamlin +250 so far. 5 wins in 10 races here in xfinity. Been a stud to say the least

**5mike5** · 08-30-18, 12:08 AM

Havent taken anything for xfinity but hoping hamlin parlay.

Jones>bowyer(-120) for cup so far. No singles yet but eyeing hanlin, jones and elliott will decide tomorrow. Saving any favs for later parlay of course

**5mike5** · 08-30-18, 09:22 AM

Grabbed jones 2000 and Elliott 2700 as my longershots.

Still debating Hamlin early.

**5mike5** · 08-30-18, 01:11 PM

Added Hamlin (+850)

Only other single im looking at right now is Larson. Besides that waiting on anything else to use to close big truck parlay from last week and if I have one from xfinity Saturday

**5mike5** · 08-31-18, 12:40 PM

This is jist a cool ass weekend every year. Throwback schemes are awsome

**5mike5** · 08-31-18, 03:01 PM

Tire falloff is worst ive ever seen for xfinity. Useless info imo

**5mike5** · 08-31-18, 03:05 PM

Track is chewing up tires like a cheese grater

**pimike** · 08-31-18, 10:22 PM

Mike you think the tire performance you were talking about will be a factor in big races, xfinity and Cup?

Yeah it usually is here beenin recent yrs and now been a decade or so now since last paved too so now its Really making lap times fall off. They will need tires Alnost every caution if they have enough. Was just surprised how much times were falling off in practices off just 10 laps and less

Seemed worse for Xfinity cars. Fall off was a second in just 10 laps and will just get worse so strategy with tires and right time to use last sets maybe crucial. And they have limited amount much less than Cup

**5mike5** · 09-01-18, 09:36 AM

Took a couple for Xfinity just based off odds really. Will have to see if Hamlin is parlayable or not. Waiting on any matchup parlay too til after qualifying. Besides that prob done with singles

Brad 450
Custer 1350
Allgaier 2250

**unlearn** · 09-01-18, 10:44 AM

Xfinity will have 5 sets to 13 sets for cup. Somewhere around 30 laps a set.

**5mike5** · 09-01-18, 12:04 PM

Not positive but I think That includes the set they qualify on too so really just 4. And they need them every caution if possible.

Cant wait to get this going

**pimike** · 09-01-18, 12:54 PM

Good weekend.

Hope it’s fun.

**5mike5** · 09-01-18, 01:03 PM

Honestly think 7-8 diff guys could legit win xfinity race today. Really dont have a good feel for it. Not sure what last winner I'll add depends if parlays post up and odds. Maybe a open matchup parlay if i like 2 but none single

**5mike5** · 09-01-18, 02:04 PM

Boys that a clinic on early betting for cup this week

Is this a lady in black thing....or can Goodyear make a better compound this weekend, n like set-up off the truck, did Goodyear miss "setup of tire compound, off the truck"?

Bad thing for tires, can't change set-up, like with a NASCAR, gotta dance with what u came with....

So is this a reg. occurrence here M? Just hard for Goodyear to find a compound soft enough for grip, but hard enough to combat too quick of a fall-off?

**the1yankee** · 09-01-18, 02:20 PM

Ifu think it's a.coin flip with tires, maybe driver avgs., at this track, may tell story, maybe take sum +#s

**5mike5** · 09-01-18, 02:34 PM

I didnt add anybody for xfinity. Posted last min and no parlayables. Odds just werent worth it so need to get lucky but sometimes laying off is the right call.

Since no add-ons played a longshot open parlay is all besides earlier plays
Jones>Reddick (+190)
Allgaier>sadler (+135)
open

**kcburg** · 09-01-18, 02:34 PM

what a cluster..Dimes takes down odds 15 mins before race after only posting them 15 mins before that.

its a Darlington thing. Im not sure if they could but they cant make it too hard a tire cause need the rubber fall off. Pretty much like Atlanta surface been last few yrs

But yeah like u said delicate balance iguess. Makes racing better usually though

i think so. Tough place to have a real solid startegy esp with practices being full of barley over just 10 lap runs doesnt help any case long run and keeping tires well means so much

**the1yankee** · 09-01-18, 03:01 PM

Damn cindric, there goes my $5/$40 2tmr with a few +$ #s in a 2 tm h2h...lol

Good thing , he wasn't in my $35 2tm h2h wager

**the1yankee** · 09-01-18, 03:04 PM

Goes my mini +$, h2h bets ,tester play

**the1yankee** · 09-01-18, 03:06 PM

Was it turn 3-4 where cindric went down?

Isn't that the action spot here, exit of 4?

**unlearn** · 09-01-18, 03:08 PM

Hamlin looks like shit. Bell prob the car to beat

**the1yankee** · 09-01-18, 03:13 PM

Mad Props to Chastain for followin a DREAM!

Guys family bet the farm, "literally," on Ross
