    Truck Race Betting?
    Um... Am I going blind or do no books have it up?

    Tried 5D, BM, 1vice, sportsbook and Greek.

    5D still doesn't have any 500 matchups up either.

    WTF is going on? Are we being abandoned as bettors?

          I didn't find any odds at any books for truck race. Shame! Wanted to take Brad K & Ron H.

            ^^ how weird is that. All of them.

            I guess there really is a single source of openers they all work off after all... Pinnacle I suppose. Thought 5D and Greek were in house for sure.

                        Must have only been for a short time? I was checking every 15mins or so between qualy and race start.

                          They must have been up for a very short time, because Ive been constantly checking for days.

                          I did see Nationwide.

                                  7pm ET? If so, that is 4pm PT. I didn't see them. Oh well. No biggie, since I wasn't going to bet anything.

                                      BK to win and matchup parlay...(havin 1 guy to win at daytona is useless BTW)

                                      as usual with trucks i did not wager much just the bk to win race, just for entertainment purposes only--LOL

                                      but nationwide tomorrow im going to start throwing some green backs around

                                              This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think they should get rid of GWC at plate tracks. I just don't see the point in this shit. It's like groundhog day. Isn't one big wreck on the last 1 or 2 laps enough?

                                                We'd hardly ever see a regular finish if they did that. This is a bit silly now though.

                                                  Drivers would drive accordingly, knowing they only had one shot at it like the good 'ole days. You would still get the occasional yellow finish but much better, and safer than this horsehit.

                                                    id much rather have GWC

                                                    ending races under caution is just lame

                                                      Sry to disagree mike, I fully never expected any to have same viewpoint as me on this. It's all about the big ones here. People in the stands have paid for shunts and that's what they are going to get.

                                                      But IMO, this is dangerous, and a waste of money. How many cars have wrecked on these GWC's? 15? A crazy waste. might as well pick the winner out of a hat.

                                                      I can put up with it, just hopefully nobody gets hurt.

                                                        great. one into the fence.

                                                        They will kill someone one day doing this. And it probably won't be someone in a stock car.

                                                          And it still finishes under yellow... but the fans get three massive crashes, so all is good im assuming.

                                                              I thought the fans want to see a finish under green? The race finished under yellow, just like it could have done 3 yellows earlier. But it's all good cos everyone gets to talk about all the wrecks. Nobody will be talking about the 'lame' finish.

                                                              Not having a go mate, I understand its what you and 99% of fans want to see. I just personally think its really dangerous, especially at these plate tracks, and an incredible waste of machinery.

                                                              1990 Daytona 500? If I remember correctly, it didnt finish under yellow did it? I remember cos I saw a Dale Snr doco recently where they talked about that race.

                                                                      Got any GWC stats to back that up?

                                                                      I think it's a bit of a myth that people want to see a finish under green. It's to create excitement at the end of the race, hopefully a crash/lead change/bumping & hitting to the line.

                                                                      How many times have we seen a driver have a lead of 1 or 2 seconds and cruising to the win, then incident some where mid-pack, yellow comes out, and it goes to GWC. Driver who was leading leading comfortably now leads them back to green with double file restart for 2 lap dash to the finish and they get screwed. That is just not cricket, as we say down here.

                                                                      I can handle it at other tracks, because it doesnt create as much of a scenario for multiple GWC's as you get at plate tracks.

                                                                      But I can see nationwide race and 500 using up all 3 GWC's this weekend and very high chance none of them finish under green, like 'the fans want'.
