Piquet will give me 6 odd units profit, compared to the 40 it could have been with McD.

Sorry we didn't get the big winner.

6+ units is a pretty damn good profit on a nationwide race bud...

impressive as hell to pick that winner

Bit let down McD didn't do the job today. Really need Marcos to bring it home or I will be as flat as a rug come Monday.

Sorry opti can't see ambrose winning tomorrow he's too short I'll most probably end up with egg on my face stats don't favour him only Logano has won from pole this yr I think

Can't wait for the back to back NW road races next month!

what does it mean when you say a driver is "short"?

I'm not confident on Ambrose like I was today. Just hopeful, and happy i got +500 on him.

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 05:44 PM

.bottom line

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 05:46 PM

A short priced favorite is paying lower than normal odds. Like +250 in a NASCAR race.

I know I say it wrong in US slang at times. I just don't get what you mean half the time by shorter/longer, higher/lower.

For me a price that pays out less per $ wagered is shorter/lower. No matter if it is above or below even money.

Looking that way gotta be some value out there somewhere this is the first time I can remember where the odds favours 2 drivers so much

For example black caviar today -600 (1-6) held on by a nose

I've got Biffle +5500 and Bowyer +2800 as my long shots.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Hamlin, Kyle and Vickers near the front too.

Dinger has got better all weekend too. Looking forward to seeing Happy Hour later on to hopefully get a good look at him. If he has sorted that car out he could still be a shot with the right luck/strategy.

Nolan nearly duffed that

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 05:55 PM

actually, im not sure ive EVER seen a car dominate 3 sessions of practice like he has

so rare i cant remember 1 time

not 1-lap times eithr, avgs too

shaunovery · 06-23-12, 05:56 PM

Don't think she will be running at newmarket

shaunovery · 06-23-12, 05:57 PM

Read same a littloe earlier. Such a shame they didn't set up a 1400 or 1500m race between her and Frankel.

If JG can get in front and save his tires and fuel, he should be able to win it in the same manner Piquet did today based on practice.

shaunovery · 06-23-12, 05:59 PM

Think frankel would eat her alive

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 05:59 PM

yeah wont be that easy

just saying that statement took me back even though they lie alot

but he backed it up

several underdogs in parlays to take a shot at too

going to be a fun day thats 4 sure

CANT WAIT!!!

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 06:00 PM

bowyer looks live too

I thought her sectionals were better. Would have been good to see. She's never been really tested.

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 06:22 PM

biff/dinger looked good tooo, but nott sure about winning the race....figure all the value will be gone from what u guys got biff at

good longshot pickup though imo

hoping to see a good H2H or 2 with longer odds

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 06:23 PM

i still got room to play 1-2 and 1 would be a longshot...just see what ther market opens bach up at

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 06:29 PM

ambrose actually edged out gordon for best avg speeds in final practice

Vegas39 · 06-23-12, 06:43 PM

Way Gordon's year has gone he may blow up on pace laps

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 08:05 PM

odds are up again at 5dimes

i added Dinger((+7500)

dinger OVER menard -110 (maxed) (-115 maxed)

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 08:11 PM

gordon now +300

ambrose +250

Optional · 06-23-12, 08:30 PM

I don't mind these ones out of whats posted so far

Joey Logano #20* +110 vs Brad Keselowski #2
Clint Bowyer #15* -110 vs Martin Truex Jr #56
Tony Stewart #14* -125 vs Juan Pablo Montoya #42
Kasey Kahne #5* +130 vs Carl Edwards #99

5mike5 · 06-23-12, 08:36 PM

menard has finished a best of 17th at sonoma

dinger has finished better than menard last 3 years, and 3 of the 4 vs each other

menard has finished worse than he started 3/4 at sonoma

AJ was 11th, 3rd, and 5th in the 3 practices thhis weekend....beating menard every time by a wide margin

dinger starts 17th, menard 23rd

**just my thinking in 1 of my big H2H plays
