I want to lay Penske at Fontana. Match me?

[Optional]

I think the three Penske Dodges look so bad this week, that you won't be able to pick 3 other drivers in the same brand car (from the lists below) that will finish worse.

Finishing worse means the final placings for your 3 drivers adds up to a higher number than my 3.

I have 60 points to bet at even money.

Max 20 points per set of picks.


My Dodges

Kurt Busch
Brad Kesolowski
Sam Hornish Jr.

You must pick 1 chase driver among your 3.

Toyota

Kyle Busch
Denny Hamlin
Joey Logano
David Reutimann
Martin Truex
Marcos Ambrose
Scott Speed
Reed Sorrenson


Ford

Carl Edwards
Greg Biffle
Matt Kenseth
David Ragan
Kasey Kahne
Elliot Sadler
Paul Menard
AJ Allmendinger


Chevy

Jimmie Johnson
Jeff Gordon
Mark Martin
Dale Earnhardt Jr
Kevin Harvick
Jeff Burton
Clint Bowyer
Tony Stewart
Ryan Newman
Regan Smith

I don't like Penske much this week either, but I still can't resist the sucker bet gamble

adding a chase driver makes it tough but I have a hunch somethings going to happen to Hamlin this week, so I'll put 20 on Toyota

Hamlin
Speed
Sorenson

good luck Opti

Clint Bowyer
Ryan Newman
Regan Smith

15 points on this group, if that's ok

Halfway home

Looks like I finally get a win on one of these bets.

Thanks guys. You can have a chance to win it back next week if you like.

next time let us pick anyone and just specify to take at least one Chase (or not more than one Chase, depending on which way you're doing it).

I would've lost this one either way, but I wouldn't have taken Newman had I been able to choose from a different group.

[Optional]

Ok, will do something like that next week probably.

You were on a hiding to nothing with the Chevs in the end. Almost any Ford combo would have got me, or Kyle with the Toyotas.

And thanks for the points transfer.

[yisman]

You were on a hiding to nothing with the Chevs in the end.

What do you mean?

and yeah, Kyle would've worked, but you would've had to know he'd wreck/engine overheat/whatever happened to him. Hard to predict. I expected Kyle to finish top 10.

[Optional]

Australian term only I guess. It means your bet only had 2 possible outcomes in the end, getting beaten (a hiding) or losing (nothing). ie: no chance.

The Chevy guys all went so well, there wasn't a combination you could have picked to win, is what I was getting at.

[rickie65]

congrats opti! good to see you finally have one of these go your way, even if it is at my expense!

here's your points. we'll do it again this week.

[Optional]

Thanks Rickie. Much appreciated

Nice win Opti...I'll have to take you up on one of your bets one of these days.
