They keep talking about Piquet as a chance on the box.

Will kick myself if I miss backing him for his first win... been thinking for last few races 'this will be it', but have laid off him this week. (someone needs to take advantage of that personal jinx I just made)

I was actually thinking the same thing when i saw your h2h bet. He will get a win this year, take it to the bank!!

oh i know, just i know u like him sometimes as a big longshot

that would be my luck...that will happen to me when i leave off dinger or truex as my cup longshots

5mike5 · 06-08-12, 08:40 PM

2 early breaks for my parlay

Peters with trouble(still very much in this though), and bodine just blew up

Optional · 06-08-12, 08:42 PM

That was lucky! I would have taken Bodine to beat Crafton in the H2H if you had not already taken the other (winning) side!

Like that sort of luck

Seen updated odds on the Pocono race........Hamlin is back at +500....Kicking myself in the butt for taking him when I did.

I'm pretty much happy with my other early bets though.

This is a tough race to cap.....Think 10-15 drivers has a good shot to win.

Gonna be very lucky to get a winner this week.

I was very surprised to see Hamlin back up that high

5mike5 · 06-08-12, 09:34 PM

yeah love my early bets too

just cant decide the last 2 im rounding out with

havent lost anything on any of my early bets and gained on most, some alot

be ALOT of changing odds after qualifying though, which is probably what ill wait on

LOL. I did say longshot and gut ;-))

His record is actually pretty good, outside the win column.

ill take mark martin as another longshot to win and tail ur "gut"...why not

not sure it means crap, but hes looked stout

never hurts to have several huge odds guys in a race like this...sure would PAY...not sure ive ever had 3 or more longshots b4

Optional · 06-09-12, 12:02 AM

McLarens and Mercs off the pace Matt. Button and Webber not up to team mate pace in a big way too eh.

i have no idea what that means...LOL

im going to try and figure out F1 someday

Optional · 06-09-12, 01:11 PM

It's cars with loud motors racing. It's all good! ;-)

MatI · 06-09-12, 01:15 PM

It's the pinacle Mike. Worth getting into, but for some people, just not their thing.

McLaren's are still fast, Button had major issues during Friday practice sessions and is struggling on one lap pace. But car looks good. Practice sessions showed major drop off in pace for Red Bull so it might not be too easy for SV during the race. Tyre wear will be worse for RB than others. At the moment, I like Alonso, but I need to sober up and go over data more closely!

There is an Arca race on from Pocono in about 15 mins.

It mentions Speed on the arca site. maybe it will be on after the delayed F1 they are showing now.

5mike5 · 06-09-12, 01:18 PM

I didnt realise there was an ARCA race until this morning. Do you know what time it starts?

Take Dario Franchitti or Scott Dixon. Or both. I just got home and still haven't locked anything in, but they are my stronger leans.

I was thinking the tyres will be less of an issue here, even for the worst tyre eaters. Based on Hamilton setting his best times in P sessions late in the run. I think he went over 30 laps on one set of softs and pulled off his fastest lap 2 from the end.

5mike5 · 06-09-12, 01:22 PM

ARCA starts in 10 minutes on SPEED Mati

Says 2.30pm ET here: http://www.arcaracing.com/

Will be useful to watch to see how the track races if nothing else.

Will wait until you sober up and its closer to race time to decide on an Indy bet. ;-)
