    LAS VEGAS--5mike5

    Alright boys after a HUGE weekend for the thread last weekend, we are stayiong on the West coast swing and going LAS VEGAS!!!!

    Hometown action for VEGAS39 and ONLOOKER this week! i know Vegas is going to practices and qualifying and saturday im sure he will update all of us as the week goes on....Don't think Onlooker has decided if he's going to the races yet but he will keep us informed if he decided to go

    BOTH the Nationwide AND the CUP series will be in action this weekend from Las Vegas.....the Truck series is OFF again this weekend but will be back very soon....this is out 1st 1.5 miletrack of the 2013 season and after some changes to the cars will be interesting and more than anything else useful for future races as what teams are on top of things on the most important length racetrack both for the Championship, and for the bettors....

    these races on the 1.5 milers can and usually do make or break your overall season handicapping....hard to make alot of $$ and not win majority of the races on 1.5s...guess its possible but hell of alot easier to win 1/2 or more

    Well i have been at it all day today watching past races and into my driver and Vegas notebooks, and will be into tomorrow and will start looking for the openers tonight, but probably wont be out til tomorrow morning/afternoon...but i wont take any chances, have my alarm set every 30min in case they try and sneak them in early

    GOODLUCK     top everybody this weekend and let's all have another great week of WINNING!!!!!

    Sportsbook.ag 1st to post odds. Not very good either IMO. Jimmy 5-1 fav, Matt and Kyle 7-1. Im sure Dimes will be better on openers.

    I'm gonna have a few sleepers early bets this week. I'm sure I'll have 1-2 obvious picks depending on the odds. Pretty much everybody will be a on a few but won't be able to take but 3 max if odds Are super low on all the favs especially if u wait around. Betting all favs kill u on NASCAR anyways. At least closing odds will

    No driver wins a lot here. Especially in bunches lately. Matt has 3 wins but only last year was only one 1 in the Last 8-9 races here without looking I think. Hell kasey kahne has never won here but he DOMINATED this race last season. Strategy won the race for Matt last year here

    Might even see a mid pack guy odds wise win this week who knows it Tuesday. It's just so early in season we are in feel out mode til end of March

    Just a a few late night early thoughts. All is totally meaningless until I see odds course and how many I bet on openers and I wait on

    I was reading alot in last weeks thread about never betting race winners (harvick, jr) cuz theyre locked in chase, seems idiotic. Guys run where the car dictates they'll run imo, and if they're going with experimental setups for future use in chase it'll be obvious in practice. Besides, they still get first round chase bonus points for wins. This is all prob obvious now anyway with how jr ran last week.

    I basically agree mostly about race winners of course if they can win they will, the better chance they advance in the chase elimination round 1 too which I didn't think about and probably some didn't remember or know either.
    Plus us if they can win they will, but I also know for a fact no matter how good or great the car is they won't take crazy chances with wrecking cars or anything like that cause the drivers and owners all have said that . My opinion has nothing to do with dale jr that's just 1 race but I mostly think that's how it goes.

    And if a driver has a win or not will not factor into my handicapping at all. Maybe later in the season but definatly not anytime soon. I wouldn't bet dale jr any week usually though. Lol.

    They will play with setups and pressures ect mid seasons on teams though with guys locked into chase on certain racetracks which usually hurts them trying a bunch of new stuff. Maybe then it would cross my mind.

    All dale jr did last week Saturday is out harvick's exact setup in his car. A Rare time a car looks great in practice and races that same way. That's why he was so good. Didn't find that out til yesterday but with shr and Hendricks having the close relationship that's how easy it was to get harvick's setup from shr. Kinda surprising to me

    Oh my. What a money burner that guy has turned into over the past few years. Now he wants a new circuit? I wish he would just leave nascar. Probably likely if he doesnt start performing. What is this his 3rd different team in 4 years or something??

    Have any of you guys ever asked dimes why they are among the last books to open there odds for Nascar? Wonder what the excuse could possibly be. It's not like they set there own lines for each driver each race.

    I don't. 1 reason they always beat wvery other books openers every week.

    think they go after Greek cause they are 2nd best always and they want to make sure they beat their odds too by at least a little bit and even been better than that this season so far

    race is 5 days away so really not that bad at all. Last season Wednesday was much more common than Tuesday even by mid season

    they have to wait on their guys to give them to them. I don't think each book has their own guys making them to open. Sportsbook who are usually bad ( not rippin them) and they are first always

    Kurt's too damn good a driver to leave imo. He's just always wanted to the the Indy race 1 time. Only time he ever plans on it. He has been a $ burner but look what he was driving. Really no1 should have bet him much in those cars even though we all did a few times. He can win a lot of races now that he actually in good equipment again imo.

    Compare what he did, which was AMAZING last year imo, in that #78 car to what truex does with it this year

    Re slim:

    u really want to see what bad odds are, check out wagerweb NASCAR odds sometime for a good laugh. THEY are the worst of any book I've ever seen that posts odds for NASCAR.

    I mean they they use to beat least 30% worse than the worst odds at any other book
