Season-long Auto Racing thread - Texas Motor Speedway May 1-3

Grabbed $15 live Briscoe to win $156




Live Market reacted to Briscoe starting farther back on that late Stage 1 restart with so many staying out and a few taking 2 tires.

 

[BigJay]

Hocevar going to pay for staying out so long.
I wonder WTH his crew chief was thinking...... Losing time every lap.

Very poor strategy

 

[BigJay]

Do you guys remember as kids or teenagers, NASCAR was always on Sunday at Noon?

You could plan your week around it. Always the same day and time. The only exception was the Bristol night race.

 

[BigJay]

added my final live bet of the day. Got $10 more on Briscoe

 

[BigJay]

Cashed out of my Briscoe live bets when I saw him go from 9th to 11th for a very small profit and put it on Chase.

Good timing. Briscoe continued to fade.

 

[BigJay]

Could have waited 3-4 minutes to get $50 extra to win for the same $25 price on Chase.

But that’s live betting just like other sports.

If I would have waited two more minutes to cash Briscoe would have been worth a buck or two instead of $25.

 

[BigJay]

It will be Hamlin-Chase 1-2 very soon

 

[BigJay]

Briscoe just got lapped. Looked like the best car on the track Stage 1.

 

[BigJay]

Added Reddick $59 to win $179.

He looks like the only one who can beat Hamlin or Chase, who I already have.

 

[BigJay]

Cashed out of Reddick and added more to Chase.

Just a feeling it will be either Chase or Hamlin today.

Chase’s pit crew much better than Reddick if it comes down to the money stop.

 

[BigJay]

Winner!!!

Played the live bet game perfectly. It’s tough to do betting the races live. Cashed out of a couple and put on Elliott at just the right time.

Holler at me @jjgold @BMR Genie

 

[BigJay]

Jay you're right, after looking it over, this is a tricky track. So I'm just gonna take a couple Top 5 & one Top 10 bet.

Top 10:
_____________________
Daniel Suarez +165

Top 5:
_______________________
Christopher Bell +187
Chase Brisco +198

Great call on Suarez by you and @Tanko

Horrible luck with Bell and Briscoe with the wreck and the pit damage.

 

[BigJay]

New thread total after today.

Plus $5,227

 

[Tanko]

I'm liking Suarez today.

Top 10 +160
Suarez to win group w/ Chastain/Busch/Preece +240

Got'em both.

Was worried at first when Suarez faded bigtime in the 1st stage.

 

[BigJay]

Heading to a road course next weekend at Watkins Glen where all three series will be in action once again.

I’ll update the thread as usual in a couple of days.

 

[Tanko]

Got to roll out my list of road-course ringers.

It’s time for road course racing this week boys and @BMR Genie.

Watkins Glen is one of the best road courses on the circuit. It’s famous for elevation changes, plenty of passing opportunities throughout the race. Should be fast-pace and aggressive driving.

All three series in action. Friday trucks (4:30 pm ET). Saturday O’Reilly’s (4 ET) and Sunday Cup at 4:30 ET.

Note the early start time in trucks.

Road Course ace SVG won the final five Cup road course races last year, including Watkins Glen. He’ll be even-money or lower Sunday. SVG is also running in the trucks and O’Reillys race. If anyone can pull off a triple-race sweep at this track it’s SVG.

The kid Conor Zilisch will also enter all three races this week. He’s a big-time road-course stud who has gone head-to-head with SVG before.

SVG and Zilisch will be the top two faves in each race and will be hard to beat.

 

[BigJay]

Challenging layout including many breaking zones.

 

[BigJay]

Trying to get SVG Cup for +287 instead of -105.

Got the first live tennis leg of this parlay through. Need OKC G1 and Spurs G2 moneylines.

If they hit I’ll have SVG Sunday $125 to win $360 profit.
