Homestead

[hawk 5]

Taking Biffle +850 and Edwards +700 to win. Will add 2 more.

cashed the last race. See ya all next Feb.

[Optional]

That ended up being my best result for the Chase too.

Nice way to end the year.

See y'all for Daytona.

And Jimmie to win is only +100, so it seemed like a good value play.

I don't undertsnad.

[Optional]

Jimmie to win the Cup was only being offered at +100, whilst Denny to Not win the Cup was +145. (on betfair at the time I posted)

As I was thinking about backing Jimmie anyway, getting +145 for him + Harvick made it seem like good value (even if the price was a bit less than I had hoped for)

[yisman]

Optional, that must have been due to a lack of liquidity. 5 Dimes had odds for those, and Jimmie was way more than even to win.

Hamlin was like -145 to win, and Jimmie must've been over +200.

Betfair will often show stuff like -140 for both sides or something if there's not enough liquidity.

For which team would win the MLS Cup, they had one side at 1.61 and the other at 1.91. Those aren't real odds.

[Optional]

Yeah, I realized later that the Jimmie price was way off and I could have done better backing him at a book. :\

Still, +145 for either JJ or Harvick wasn't too bad really in the end.

[yisman]

I saw the odds at 5 Dimes yesterday.

On ESPN, during college football yesterday, they kept posting that JJ needed to win win and lead the most laps, but it wasn't close to being true. That was only if Hamlin finished second.

All JJ had to do was finish strong and have Hamlin not finish as strong, which was certainly possible.

[your pixel army]

Jimmie/Harvick was about +130 to win the championship before the race if I remember correctly.

[yisman]

What Optional bet, but with slightly worse odds.

Optional, always check another book if something seems off at Betfair. Obviously it couldn't be that JJ was +100 if Hamlin was -150 or whatever.

Thanks Yis, I will. Was just a bit trigger happy that day.
