It seemed pretty warm in Florida today, probably their first real chance to check race-spec tape amounts, etc. I would imagine anyone over heating today will adjust tape for the race and not have any issues. Obviously that will effect their speed even more though. Marcos was overheating too boys.

How badly? Where did you get that btw?

I make sure I have at least 5 bucks on him just about every race. Just in case.

U guys watching truck practice?

Turner trucks running well in race trim. Piquet, Paludo. Think I posted about this time last year that I thought both would win a race in 2011.

Think same again for 2012. But don't think I'll be wrong this time.

Dad · 02-23-12, 07:24 PM

Good luck this year, Mike.

I was listening to Marcos' in-car radio. He was complaining about almost from the get go. He kept updating the team on temps every few laps. He was also saying he was really tight, probably for the 15 laps before his pitstop.

They will get it sorted.

Losing strategy bud.

I always load up on him for a top 5 finish at every road course. And also sprinkle a little on the win. But don't touch him for any other race.

I also always take JPM for top 5 at Indy, but he keeps screwing that one up every year.

Did Racebuddy have the #9 incar radio?

MatI · 02-23-12, 07:39 PM

No, I have trackpass. have been purchasing it every year for probably 5 years now. It is the fukn best. I wish F1 had something similar.

5mike5 · 02-23-12, 07:45 PM

Never heard anyone else recommend it before. Always thought it was a bit rinky dink and mainly covered Junior.

Maybe I need to look again.

Bernie just announced F1 will finally have it and more today.

Doesn't look like it is coming this year, but looks like bernie is finally starting to think about some kind of pay service off their website. I can't wait for the day.

Trackpass covers all drivers. I have the full package and most of it is rinky dink, but you should def check out the 'scanner' option and buy that. To be honest, most races I listen to the commentary down and just listen to the in-car audio. It gives me a much better for feel for what is going on in the race and is completely un-edited so you get some great to hear some awesome dummy spits!

5mike5 · 02-23-12, 08:55 PM

i agree trackpass is nice to listen to scanners on, especially when u have money riding on a certain driver and really gives great info but thats all i used it for personally...besides that i listen to the broadcast cause if u dont u can miss alot of info that way too

So what bets are placed so far Mike?

just a few longshots and a few favorites at +1200....just 5-6 total so far...i wont finish my roster til saturday or sunday morning....i just took the drivers that were huge longshots like biff and matt +2800 or great value at +1200 like harvick and smoke..theres more just cant remember right off hand..with these odds i got on early i have plenty of room left to add more the next few days....still pluggin in stuff to my system and waiting on odds to be posted again....havent decided who is going to be huge prophit and whos cover wagers as of yet...just see how my system rostaer looks next few days and go from there

They will do engine change and be better in my opinion as long as he misses inevitable early wreck

like i said id love to see it, but doubt it happens...i just like +3800 odds on past winner, and on my system said anything +2500 for him was worth it so i grabbed him

now biffle and kennseth were steals at +2800 IMO...and like +1200 for harvick and smoke too...

but its just a crapshoot here so cap and research as much as i do every week, in reality doesnt help that much here..luck more involved than other factor at plate tracks....now starting next week, it will help a bunch to put in the time

Exactly. I don't bet restrictor plate races, Crapshoots, unless I get a hot tip from someone here.

But I do understand the value side of it, I hope you cash big Mike.

Mike. Can you give us a run down of what your on before the race starts?

yeah i always post my complete roster on my thread b4 every race starts...including who my prophit winners are and who my "cover" winners are who cover all my wagers...just depends on the odds i bet each driver every week, and how the numbers work, ect.

Does trackpass let you listen in during practice?

MatI · 02-24-12, 03:57 AM

It's only up for the race. Last year they also started offering the radio scanner for Nationwide races too.

TheSchafe · 02-24-12, 10:33 AM

Grabbed a few 500 futures on 5dimes this morning:

Harvick +1200
Kenseth +2300
Biffle +2500

Adding to my AJ +3200 pick I grabbed last week, I'm liking the value I'm getting here.

Anyone know if/when 5dimes is going to put up a "field" option? Wanted to take a shot with Ambrose and Regan Smith, but they're not one of the drivers listed.

TheSchafe · 02-24-12, 10:34 AM

Maybe Almirola too...my man Dinger gave that 43 some awesome runs in the 500 the past two years.

Optional · 02-24-12, 11:10 AM

I'm thinking the same as you Schafe.

I'm guessing we will start to see the full range of bets come up on 5D after second practice this arvo. They will have odds for everyone without a field, or just about everyone with a very small field I imagine.

The bulk of props won't turn up until Saturday night and Sunday morning.

5mike5 · 02-24-12, 11:51 AM

5dimes usually doesnt put up the "field" option for regular sprint cup races just so u guys are aware...usually just for truck and nationwide series races

not saying they wont, but usually they dont because thats the only thing i didnt like when i came from vip.com last year...reminds me i had "field" at 30 to 1 at vip when bayne won last year too

ive still only got around 5-6 roster spots filled of early bets in my system, but ill be working and researching on everything all day as usual today too...even peaked at my phoenix notebooks for next week when the normal tracks start up

TheSchafe · 02-24-12, 11:57 AM

May be biased, but watch Dinger at Phoenix (and any other flat track on the sched, honestly)
