MARTINSVILLE-5mike5

5mike5 · 10-25-11, 10:39 AM

as far as looking at the early odds, not seeing a ton of value on anybody as of yet, but i will take 1 or 2 early eventually...the same few drivers have pretty much dominated this track and the odds are alot sharper this week than they usually are..

avssakic · 10-25-11, 08:08 PM

+650 for jj and denny....sign me up!!!

5mike5 · 10-25-11, 11:27 PM

yeah i dont disagree but those wont go down too much further from the 6 to 1 range either...im still reading up some some thngs so i havent done anything as of yet, and will probably have both in some fashion...but of course they are the best 2 here latley, so never a bad choice just not that much value in them early either

5mike5 · 10-25-11, 11:34 PM

Might get more value on that play closer to the race

5mike5 · 10-26-11, 08:55 AM

took JIMMIE this morning but still could have him as just a cover wager if nessecary..will add others later in the day...like denny but his odds could get alot better and cant see them being much lower than 5 or 6 to 1 at the absoulte worst, which they already are so ill just wait on him til after sessions...just no value at all in taking alot of drivers pre-sessions this week imo

Optional · 10-26-11, 09:00 AM

I went with the big two +650 early as well. Think one of them will come in to +500 odd if they practice/qualify well.

Grabbed Kyle +900 as well.

i agree opti...jj or denny will be around 5 and the other will be at a better price...i may have 2 pre-sessions but most my money will be spent after i think at this point

5mike5 · 10-26-11, 01:45 PM

weather looks beautiful for the entire weekend too

5mike5 · 10-26-11, 07:02 PM

i will also probably take ol' gordon here as well...still deciding what to take early and leave for after the sessions...i mean i will have jj denny and gordon is some fashion for sure...just deciding what and when

avssakic · 10-26-11, 10:31 PM

last 9 races here jj and denny have each won 4, 8/9. This year being the only one they havent won in awhile. JJ is in a must win situation and denny will be taking risks to win cause he is basically outta the championship. I see these two dominating unless something weird happens

5mike5 · 10-26-11, 11:53 PM

i dont disagree with ur statement,trust me i know all the stats, but hamlin and jj dont have near the spped and consisitency they did last year...i mean denny has dominated here and richmond and pocono and denny is 0-5 at the 3 tracks he has owned last few years...so its very possible neither wins, but like i posted yesterday, i will have both denny and jj in some capacity, just not sure if both will be big prophit, or covering wagers...and i wont know til til after sessions probaby..but i will wager on them both early and decide how much to add after the sessions are finished...will also be takin gordon early as well i think....i will post all my early plays tomorrow evening sometime

5mike5 · 10-27-11, 12:39 PM

eary wager so far are just gordon and jj, hamlin....jj and hamlin i have left myself some wiggle room so i can use 1 of those as covers if i dont like what i see in the sessions..usually i justm unload on a few early but i was a little more cautious this week and left myself the room in the system i use to either add or leave them the same for cover wager...tryinmg to take a nice underdog too, maybe matt...if i do add anything else b4 the sessions i will post them up.

5mike5 · 10-27-11, 12:45 PM

im waiting on harvick too, just beacuse even though he has a win and a 3rd his record beyond that is god awful here..i think hes over-priced early so ill wait and see hoe he does in the sessions as well because i think his odds will drop...jinda same thing im waiting on for kyle

Optional · 10-27-11, 12:49 PM

Gut feeling is strong for Kyle here. He has to win to stay in touch

Got any opinion on the Roush boys this week Mike? Is Edwards going to points race it out or try and seal this deal sometime before Homestead?

5mike5 · 10-27-11, 12:53 PM

i like kyle as well this week opti...may have to grab him at the early odds, if he does decent in sessions he wont be +900 anymore for sure..not really sure about the roush boys contending for the win here, their track record not so hot at the paperclip, but after sessions i may change my mind

how bout u, any thoughts on any1 besides jj denny and kyle??

Bluedragon · 10-27-11, 04:50 PM

Mark Martin just cuz he sometimes pulls thing out of his ass and, afterall, it's Martin's Ville. Other than that asinine pick which will be for entertainment purposes only...all obvious mentions have been covered, it seems.

boys

i as well, as the others left myself plenty of room to add or stay to have as a cover wager depending on sessions

5mike5 · 10-27-11, 10:48 PM

5mike5 · 10-28-11, 12:28 PM

5mike5 · 10-28-11, 11:10 PM

still raining here, and maybe a mix of SNOW early in the morning, but suppose to clear up late morning so hoping for the best...high temp. for tomorrow is in the 40's!! not ideal by any means, but we had alot of time today to meet several drivers and get a close look at everything....thanl god the RV is warm and we have TV!!! will post up if i take a very small shot on the trucks tomorrow...doubt the cup odds weill be up til very late sat, or early sun. morning....will talk to u guys tomorrow, but having a blast despite the weather

Optional · 10-29-11, 12:45 AM

How does it work at Martinsville? Is there a good area where RVs and campers park? Drunken party all night sort of thing or a bit tamer than that?

5mike5 · 10-29-11, 08:31 AM

hoping to get started with some sessions but light rain/mist still lingering but im guessing it wont be too long until we get things started....and opti, there are plenty of drunken fans all night long, and through the rv area but its a little bit tammer than the bristols and talladega crowds if ya know what i mean...ill try and keep the schedule updated as the trucks SUPPOSE to start a little after 2pm est
***no QUALIFYING either by the way...cancelled it to try and get practice in b4 the trucks do their thing

5mike5 · 10-29-11, 12:04 PM

cup practice is underway

Optional · 10-29-11, 12:26 PM

Got a truck tip for us?

5mike5 · 10-29-11, 12:46 PM

only thing i took in trucks is hamlin to win the race....he looked very good

looking at matchups too, but havent taken anything else but denny to win so far
