I loved that he did that, but I think that was news to a lot of people. The bettor is not getting a real good value on him. I think his car needs a little more. I'm definitely not sold on him as a value bet. |
If you can visualize your guy being right up there at the end, say the last five laps, when it becomes anybody's game, that's all you can ask for. |
If you look at it, you see his whole career has been set up to be the guy of the future for NASCAR. I think he can do it. |
It is a huge price. Given how dominant Chevy has been in restrictor plate races, how do you pick a Ford here? |
It was nothing like if the Bears would have won the Super Bowl last season. |
It's hard to go against the Roush guys because they're so good. But I like Stewart because he was so strong at California. |
Jimmie Johnson has been inching closer and closer the last three years (at Daytona). He's got a car that's capable, and he has a team that's very capable. He has the ability to take it upon himself to make the right moves down the stretch. |
Kyle is probably going to be somewhere around the top 10 most of the day. |
So right there you're looking at 5 to 8 percent, which the book will gladly take in most cases. |
The betting trends have been public and sharp money coming in on the favorites all week. |
The guys who ran well in California will do the same this week. There is a huge correlation there, and most of the teams use the same setup. |
The handle was doubling every year, but it does not double now like it did because it's at a pretty high level. Women are a big part of our business and they understand the wagering. |
The main story is Chevy's dominance in these races. The question is, can they continue it? |
There is so much more information out there on all the Web sites with statistics, against-the-spread info, totals ... people are becoming much more educated about what's a good bet. You have people betting (on lower-seeded teams) against teams seeded four, five or six, which gives (the books) balanced action on so many of these games. |
