It would make it better for the rest of us too. Would love US action on betfair. There is barely $5000 traded on NASCAR per race there right now.

I hate when I can't log on until 3 hours after the odds are released!!

I've hardly even checked it this year to be honest. Used to pick off some good prices here and there last year, but only for 10 or 20 bucks, but can't be bothered with it this year.

I normally put up a price I want but the money's not there not like formula1 that's why I bet with b365 and paddys and for matchups I use 5d

Yeah you can do that.

I usually take a couple of F1 drivers early if I can get a good price with the intent of selling the bets to someone else at a lower price after practice.

And if they don't drop you can usually get out with just a small loss.

Like the last race could of backed alonso at big prices in running then layed off when he was in front

The same as Vettel and grosjean

5mike5 · 06-26-12, 05:52 PM

Can't bet live in play online.

I sometimes set a target price offer and keep it in play, but that's not very efficient.

Don't let let Aussies bet in play ?

Nope. Neither does B365 or WillHill anymore.

We can by telephone with restrictions.

It makes you think about inplay markets differently though. If I like a short priced soccer over, I'll put up an offer at about double the odds. This is where the price moves in most games if there is no score after 20-25mins. Personally I don't care if there is no score up to 30 mins when wanting an over. If I get matched great, if not, cie la vie. But it makes you set a mathematical sensible target price and stick to it at least.

shaunovery · 06-26-12, 06:04 PM

Wow that's bad if they let you play pre kick-off etc why not in play that's where most of the value is

I know people on betfair who back 1.01 for a living to big stakes obviously those 1.01 are only in play just before the end of a game

Yeah it's frustrating as a punter.

Govt logic is that it's mostly impulse betting by public and not something that is a healthy addition to our already crowded gambling offerings. And I can see that logic, looking at the lost souls in pokie parlors and betting shops on almost every corner as it is.

shaunovery · 06-26-12, 06:11 PM

I should know being a betting shop manager for coral in london

I'm watching the Yankees game and just saw a hilarious ad.

JPM is at a car dealership and he says "I'll take it", referring to a Chevy truck. The dealer is trying to convince him to take it for a test drive, and after refusing, JPM finally agrees. You then see a bunch of people running to the truck, one yelling shotgun, another saying "I'll get the keys!"

idiots

Haven't seen that one

yisman · 06-26-12, 07:30 PM

I would've been running away as fast as my legs would carry me.

Vegas39 · 06-26-12, 07:31 PM

When I started reading I was hoping a jet dryer was involved

MatI · 06-26-12, 07:35 PM

yisman · 06-26-12, 07:38 PM

thanks, I should've googled it to look for the vid. Tonight was the first time I saw it (channel 9 in NY, which is airing the Yankees).

I bet the people who made the ad didn't even understand what they were doing here.

The makings of a horrible tragedy.

Vegas39 · 06-26-12, 07:40 PM

Oh damn

MatI · 06-26-12, 07:46 PM

I'm just reading about the Matt Kenseth news now. I guess it wasn't a huge surprise considering how much Roush has struggled to get full sponsorship for the 17 but I still feel sorry for Kenseth. He deserves a top seat IMO.

Surely he will be announced as driver of the 20? Or are those rumours about JGR going to 4 cars still around?

Personally, id like to see him join Penske and take over the 22. Especially with the team changing to Ford for next year.

I can see Kenseth going to Penske racing........He deserves a spot on a top team somewhere.

Reno Paul · 06-26-12, 09:30 PM

Johnson down to +450 as of now......I grabbed him when he was at +500.......Also tailed Mike on BK and Truex.

Going to wait to see chassis setups at MRN on Thursday before I decide to play another.

I was out for a few minutes when the early odds first came out.

shaunovery · 06-27-12, 06:27 AM

Greek still has jimmy at 6-1 5d over reaction I feel

5mike5 · 06-27-12, 06:52 AM

cant leave him the same price when people are betting him left and right

shaunovery · 06-27-12, 07:12 AM

B365 priced up jimmy at 5-1

5mike5 · 06-27-12, 08:49 AM

1st pick on matchups:

KYLE B over biffle (+115)

Deal With It · 06-27-12, 09:38 AM

The Kenseth deal blows my mind! I hope he lands in a quality ride.

I've been following Matt for many years now.

Got to know his Mom (Nicki...RIP) and Dad (Roy) back in the 90's.

I've got a lot of souvenirs of his pre-NASCAR days.

shaunovery · 06-27-12, 10:31 AM

Yes he's a quality racing car driver
