    Texas--

    Alright fellas we are off to the line star state this weekend for Xfinity and CUP series action. The truck series off off again for the rest of the month. After another great week of short racing at the paperclip last weekend, we look to keep our momentum rolling back on an intermediate racetrack.

    **TEXAS was repaved after last fall playoff race, as well as reconfigured in the turns 1/2 section of the racetrack. The groove has been widened from 60 to 80 ft and the banking the turns at that end of the racetrack has been lowered to 20 degrees from 24 degrees. All this combined does make a big difference. So past history at this racetrack shouldn't be counted on when handicapping this race

    for me a driver/team's current form and form this season in siniliar tracks will be crucial for any early bets. Practices will also tell the tale of who's got what when they u load but later practices after adjustments will also be critical. That said, I believe the same 4-5 drivers that have been rather dominate on this track type in the low downforce aero package will do the same again this weekend. Mostly the 42/78/24/2 will most likely open as the 4 favs imo, and probably have the best odds early barring a Qualifying disaster. But it's still bigger risk/reward on early betting the favs this week especially. The risk may or may not be worth it to you because not sure how much can be gained as I expect very low opening odds.

    And I don't think just because it's a repave that teams that haven't run well on intermediate tracks this season in the new Aero package will all the sudden be better than the teams listed above, just like I don't expect those 4 teams to be lost because it's basically a new racetrack.

    Just my thoughts on it. Feel free to post ur own thoughts as always!



    GOODLUCK this weekend!!!

    I expect that Larson, Keslowski, truex jr. and Elliot will be the top 4 opening favorites this week. In some order. At least 4 of top 5. Sadly, expecting all between +650 to +750 range at best. So not sure how much can be gained by early betting here, but I'm sure 1-2 of them will still be best odds of the week, if my thinking plays out.

    Hopefully im wrong about the odds, maybe the books give a little better than i am expecting. But I highly doubt it

    They are probably taking a conservative approach due to the track too. Keeping safe on the big names and seeing what the early bettors think.

    Took Dustin Johnson at +625 to win masters. Don't bet golf but thought it a decent bet. Love the Masters

    I'm just shocked he's that low a fav in his current form. This aero package has made him look human again

    and the track changing "should" mean less historical significance I think. But could be wrong of course

    probably unloads P1 avgs. Lol

    Yeah just lucky that was my first bet or wouldn't have. I tried to bet it again and went straight to +750, now even lower. Odds are getting hit so hard as soon as they post this season it's just crazy. Or they are just just soft moving them whoever gets bet first. That wasn't up 60 seconds. Wasn't ever this bad.

    I funding at bookmaker/DSI book in next few days. Have bovada too, but don't use it really

    cwetain drivers on raceday seem too be better after people hammer the dimes lines

    Surprised to see JJ and Harvick are the fav's. Playing conservative this week with all the changes.

    Kyle +105 Harvick - really like these odds
    BK +100 Logano
    Kahne +115 Kurt Busch - crap vs crap
    Newman -110 Suarez

    I was as well, but as Hawk5 mentioned JJ is the Texas master winning something like 5 of last 9 races here. I was more thinking of current form with new aero package. But when taking a step back, u can see why JJ opened as fav. Past history does mean a lot for oddsmakers. And for me too usually. But current form is huge too

    good deal.

    Saw where like 1/2 Vegas books did NOT refund!

    Maybe im use to offshore rules, had no clue some land books didn't refund future bets even if player doesn't even officially start the tourney. That's insane. Bad luck there saw, he's been on fire too I saw on tv. My bets look awful, wish I could be a refund on my 2. Lmao

    Really thinking of going ahead and adding Larson before practice today when odds go down. since he creeped back up to +950

    Still thibking about Keslowski early too and being finished unless my h2h parlay on Xfinity makes it again this week

    thing is, both odds probably won't get any better, and most likely get worse if I wait til post practice/qualifying

    ill post if I do add anything before the noon sessions start

    Hoping they still get to qualify line to go thru tech is about 25 cars

    no word yet if Elliot is even gonna try it

    syarting in the back on this week will be extra brutal since it's gonna basically be a 1 groove racetack

    fingers crossed for us
