Full Tank with Phil - NASCAR Gambling

On this week's episode we start off by taking a quick look back at Talladega and the importance of being cautious for Superspeedway Racing. We look back at the hits and the misses from Alabama last week.

Then it's time to look ahead at the race this weekend in Dover, Delaware. To get a little help with handicapping this week, we're bringing in some reinforcements by way of Mike from Left Turn Betting (@LeftTurnBetting on instagram and leftturnbetting.com)

We learn about Mike's NASCAR fandom, how he got started in gambling and starting out making picks people can follow. We go through all of the typical markets like Moneyline, Finishing Positions and Head to Heads in more of a conversational manner, trying to find the best fit for various drivers this week!

Guest- Mike from Left Turn Betting: (11:12)

You know it's a fun one when we're talking Talladega baby! We start the episode recapping the race and how we did at Texas, and breakdown the action we saw on track. Then we talk Dega strategy for any newcomers to the gambling world for superspeedway betting. We talk Moneyline picks and include another Manufacturers bet as well. Then there's a good amount of O/U Finishing Position props out there, so we touch on 3 drivers to look at. The H2H market has some drivers to play against this week as well. Finally, we wrap things up with the "Shotgun Unit" play, calling out a bunch of long shot drivers.

On this week's solo episode we're breaking down what went down at Martinsville last Sunday on track, the aftermath and how we did with the bets we placed leading up. With short track season settling down, NASCAR moves to second 1.5 mile track this year with Texas Motor Speedway. A track that's been ripped on for years, can we make money off of it?

We damn well try to starting with the Moneyline segment and another manufacturers bet to get the ball rolling. Then, we talk Finishing Position bets, with some over/unders and Top 10s to wet the whistle. We wrap things up in the Head to Head segment with a nice variety of bets from underdog to heavy favorite!

On this week's episode we start by recapping another really successful weekend at Richmond. We talk about the race, the drama, the restart...and of course break down the bets we hit and missed.

Then it's time to talk Martinsville, as we wrap up short track country for a bit. After going through the different metrics we're using this week, we talk strategy for the Moneyline and how we're trying to cover our bases, then some fun Finishing Position bets, and a very different Head to Head market caps off this week's episode!

It's another HUGE show this week as we tackle two different topics. First, the NASCAR side of the house and we start by recapping another fantastic weekend in COTA. We breakdown the action the track and review the bets.

Then it's time to look ahead to Easter Sunday Night racing in Richmond. We look at all the metrics needed for trying to hit some bets in a tough slate of markets so far from the books. We hit moneyline, Top 10s and H2H markets, with some others thrown in between.

Then it's time to bring on our guest, @nicksMLBpicks on X. He's now a two time guest, and he breaks down the upcoming MLB season with all of his extensive research and knowledge on the future markets and a great number of picks for this coming season to have you covered all year long!

Guest: Nick's Picks (54:48)

This week's episode is a big one, as we welcome on our first guest of the 2024 season. But first, we take a step back to review the most entertaining race of the year so far and beyond; Bristol! We dive into the details and see how we did with our bets last Sunday after a wild race.

Then it's time to welcome on Chris from the Flag Hunting Pod. A familiar voice of course, we get to hear his first hand count of the race at Bristol as he was in person! Then we check in on how things are going for the Flag Hunting boys this year, betting is legal now in his home state, and we build a card for the upcoming race.

COTA Track Stats: (36:25)

Building a Betting Card (48:15)

On this week's episode we're recapping a successful but polarizing Phoenix race for the podcast. We take a look back at the way the race unfolded and how our betting card looked after the dust settled. From there we did into a quick look at who's hot and who's not in the Cup Series standings, as well as touch on a surprise in the news cycle.

From there we take a look at Bristol Motor Speedway and the different Track Stats and metrics that make sense as we prep to handicap this upcoming race. Then it's betting talk starting with an unusual Moneyline section, a jammed packed Placement segment, and we wrap things up in the Head to Head Matchup segment with a St. Patrick's Parlay!

- Phoenix Recap, Results, Opinions

- Hot and Not

- Bristol Stats

- Moneyline Picks

- Placement Picks

- H2H Matchups

We're rolling out of Vegas with some cash in the pockets, so that is a good way to start the week heading into Phoenix Raceway. On this week's episode, it's a recap of the race at Vegas and how we did with the podcast picks. Then we move into the track stats for Phoenix and the preliminary strategy for the weekend. After that, we get to the Moneyline picks to win the race with some guys towards the top of the board. Then some fun placement market picks with driver O/U. In the Head to Head market, we're hitting on another Team vs. Team bet, among others. Finally, we have our first Phil's Fired Up of the year as we tackle some news coming out of the broadcasting world involving Dale Jr.

- Moneyline picks

- Driver Over/Under placement picks

- Head to Head picks

- Phils Fired Up

On this week's episode are taking a look back at yet ANOTHER photo finish from the week before. Atlanta Motor Speedway lived up to the hype, but how did our bets do?

NASCAR now officially gets their season started with the first intermediate track of the year, the highly anticipated Las Vegas Motorspeedway. We breakdown the track history and the how this strategy is different from the last two weeks to start the year. Despite the fact the sportsbooks aren't giving us much, we still find some good bets to discuss!

- Moneyline Picks to win, including a manufacturer bet

- Getting creative with Top 10s, and DRIVER O/U market!

- H2H, including a team H2H bet!

With Daytona in the rearview we start off this episode reviewing how we made out with our bets at the MONDAY Great American Race. Some markets were better than others, but we recap it all, as well as the action on the track and opinions about the finish. Then it's time to head up to Atlanta Motor Speedway for some MORE superspeedway type racing. We discuss why that is, strategy for betting this track, and metrics to look at. Then we get into multiple betting markets:

- Moneyline Picks

-Top 10's

- Prop bets, Head to Heads and Group Bets

It's a jammed packed episode, so let's make it out of these first two races with some cash in our pockets for Sin City next week!

Let's get down to business! The Daytona 500 is here after 3 long months without NASCAR. We're here to welcome you back to the pod if you've been with us in the past, but also hoping to welcome in some newer NSACAR gamblers to talk through the ins and outs of this race and why it's different. In this episode we hit:

- The details around Datyona and the strategy for Superspeedway betting

- Moneyline Picks

- Top 10 Picks

- Head to Head Picks

- "The Shotgun Unit", the best bang for your buck and having fun with betting this race.

We are BACK! The NASCAR season is right around the corner and it feels like Christmas Eve. It's time to celebrate the 6th season of the podcast by starting off the right way; with an Season Preview Episode.

A whole lot of topics are hit on this one, starting with some Silly Season Talk, which leads into some Manufacturers conversation.

From there, it's time to talk bets. We discuss in detail the strategy around Championship Futures, (including Championship 4 market), as well as Season Win Total Over/Unders. We even touch on a couple of Head to Head Win bets!

To cap off the episode, there's some talk around a few season long fantasy options out there, that may give us a lot of entertainment this season.

The 2023 finale is here. On this week's episode we're capping off the 5th season of the podcast by taking a quick look back at Martinsville, where we won some serious coin heading into championship weekend. Then, we look at Phoenix Raceway to look at some unique stats to that track and the championship race. But to really get the juices flowing, we take an indepth look at all four championship drivers in the cup series along with their odds to win.

Then, we welcome on Derek Yoder to talk about the 2023 season as whole from his perspective. It's also REMATCH time, as we do a draft of all 12 championship drivers from the three series in NASCAR and see what our rosters look like.

To round things out, we touch on 2 Top 10 bets and FOUR Head to Head matchups that are non-championship related.

Thanks for such a great season!

We've only got two races left in the 2023 NASCR season, and we're headed to Martinsville Speedway to set the stage for the Championship 4 next week. This week's episode starts by recapping what we got right and wrong in Homestead, then assessing the playoff picture based on where we're invested. We look at the different data sets for this unique racetrack, and start making picks. The heavy favorite this week is bringing us some nice odds for drivers further down the list in the outright market. There's a couple Finishing Position bets that stand out as obvious to take. Head to Head matchups are razor thin yet again, but there's two we're calling out. And we finish things up by talking about some more "different" types of bets to have some fun.

We're down to 3 races left in the 2023 season, and the opportunity to make some money is better than ever. We just need to be selective! This ep starts with a recap of Las Vegas, and then breaking down the playoff picture and the future odds of the drivers remaining. Then we look ahead to Homestead Miami Speedway, a high tire wear, 1.5 racetrack that was the former home of the championship. We talk data sets, call out some outrights based on value, but talk about why waiting for some things could be best. The Top 10 market is back, and we have a few plays for it to work with. There's unfortunately on one Head to Head we're talking about this week, but we have a brand new bet to hit on as well!

We have made to the Round of 8 and it's time to take a look at where things stand with the playoffs. But first, we'll give a quick look back at the Roval to see how we got here and AJ's big win. We'll go through and look at the collection of future bets that we have from the year, and how they stack up with who is left. Then it's time to talk Vegas! There's a good amount of data to pull from, so this should be exciting. We talk patterns, trends, and which markets are hot and which ones are not.

After an exciting Talladega finish, and a lackluster betting card, we look ahead to the Charlotte Roval. It's the last road course race of the 2023 season. To start things of we give a quick Dega recap, and then we move into some conversation around the playoff cutline. There's one potential future bet that may make sense to jump on right now. Then we talk how the data for this week's race is pretty helpful in shaping your betting card. For the picks, we're back to basics with an outright segment, a finishing position segment, and to cap things off we have a couple head to head matchups that are worth looking at early in the week!

Buckle up and hold your breath if you've got yourself any championship bet tickets out there because NASCAR is heading to Talladega Superspeedway for the 2nd race in the Round of 12. On this week's episode we take a quick victory lap looking back at Texas, with an outright winner. Then we dig into the playoff picture and discuss one driver that we NEED to get some action on for the title and/or round of 4. Then it's time to talk Talladega. It's a much different race to bet, so we've got a strategy of playing it a little lighter, calling out some H2H to fade certain drivers, and bringing back the "Shotgun Unit" that was successful for us at Daytona this year.

We're trying to shake off a rough week of bets at Bristol from last week. Can we get that bad taste out of our mouths? We start off talking a little about the silly season news that was announced last week, and a weird interaction from a former driver. Then we recap Bristol and talk the bets the hit, and all the bets that missed. After going through the Texas stats and data sets, we talk about the drivers that stand out the most, as well as a NEW type of bet that is being offered this week on one book.

The Round of 16 is coming to a close, and we start of the ep by taking a look back at how Kansas unfolded for the bets and on the track. Then we look ahead to Bristol, where we start off with a burning question on how to watch this night race. The data sets are a little more scarce this week compared to last, as the unique track is tough to comp. Then it's time to make picks where we're talking about some double digit outrights, some short Top 10s, LONG Top 10s, some good looking H2Hs and another Qualifying Bet!

It's the middle leg of the round of 16 and we're headed to a track that is has been good to us in the past, including this year! We break down everything that went on last week at Darlington, the good, the bad and the ugly. Then we look ahead at the all of the great data and stats to pull from to prep for this week. Making picks this week is a bit different. The odds board isn't that great, so we adjust. We're looking at some more Top 5's and 10's than usual. We cap things off with a NEW bet on the board, and some Championship 4 odds.

The playoffs are here! On this week's episode we take a quick look back at the regular season finale, and how we made out like bandits in Daytona. Then we move to the topic at hand, Darlington. It's the second trip there this season and it starts the Round of 16. There's a lot of info to pour through so we do our best to call it all out, and approach with a strategy. We tackle some value in the outright market, a couple of finishing position bets, and some head to heads that are taking a shot.

We end with talking about the current championship odds heading into the playoffs and if anyone is worth a look.

Oh how time flies! It is the regular season finale here for the 2023 NASCAR season, and we have a great guest on this week to help break this down. But first we take a quick look back at Watkins Glen and how that race unfolded on the track and on the bet slips. Then we look at Daytona as a whole, and go over what data sets we can use this week to give us an edge. At that point we welcome on Seth from IBT Media! We get a rundown from Seth about how his season is going thus far on the gambling side and the fan side, his thoughts on the upcoming Netflix show, and some Fantasy NASCAR talk as well. We break down Daytona with our strategy, drivers we like and some quick bets. Then it's the first "Full Tank Face Off" in quite some time where we look at 3 H2H matchups. We wrap up the episode picking Seth's brain about some Fantasy Football talk and getting prepped for drafts this year!

We've got back to back road course races on the schedule, and for that, we needed to call in some backup to help breakdown this Watkins Glen race. For that, our guy WryCape is here to the rescue. After giving a quick betting recap of the Indy Road Course for the pod last week, Wry jumps on and we touch a number of different topics. He gives us his take on the 2023 season, and how he's doing from a gambling perspective, how he did last week at Indy, and his approach this week coming out of that race. We play another game of "Buy or Sell" with some current topics in NASCAR. Finally, we dig into the numbers of Watkins Glen and build a betting card throughout!

A lot of talking points on this week's episode. We start off talking about some quick breaking news around one of the major onshore sportsbooks, Barstool Sportsbook. Then we get back to the regularly scheduled program and talk about how we did at Michigan. After that we get into Indy Road Course conversation. The track stats, the data set, and the odds board. Then it's time to zero on on some drivers and build out a card. The board is looking tasty this week, and it's time to feast. To round things out, we get into a Phil's Fired Up about some current events.

On this week's episode, we start off with a super quick look back at Richmond and discuss why it was both an up and down week overall. Then, we welcome on Derek Yoder for the 2nd time this year! We start off talking with him about the NASCAR Betting Preview Show brand that he's been working so hard on expanding in 2023. After that, we get into some current NASCAR event topics with a little "Buy or Sell" segment. At that point, it's time to talk Michigan. We discuss the data set that we're using to do look at this race, and then start working together to build out the betting card for the weekend!

Sitting here on the dock in Cooperstown, NY is a great place to do some research for NASCAR Gambling. We're trying to put it to the test with this episode as we break down Richmond Raceway. After a quick recap of Pocono, we take a look at 4 to 5 plays that seem to stand out early in the week. It's a quick one, but it's filled with some good info heading into the race weekend!

We are headed to my home track this weekend, but first we start off recapping another successful race of bets at New Hampshire Motor Speedway! The card was filled with winners, so we talk about those specific bets, and how the race was overall. Then it's time to talk Pocono for the only time this year. We breakdown the track stats and discuss what makes it so unique. Then we get to some picks, calling out the favorites and WHY they are favored for a reason. We talk about some really good H2H prospects, a sleeper top 10, and a boost on a certain driver. We end things with some SRX talk, and the Pocono Weekend Parlay!

It's a big episode this week because we've got our first guest in a while joining the show. We start by taking a look back at the race at Atlanta and walk through how our bets did. Newsflash: it was a great day! We also talk about the thoughts on the racing in general, and how moods may have shifted.

Then we bring on Chris from the Flag Hunting Podcast to talk about a number of different things. We get an update on how their year is going so far with picks. Then we get into a conversation about some mid season "Silly Season" talk. We touch on the Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool, and why we've been so bad. Then we work together to create a betting card for the Crayon 301 at New Hampshire!

On this episode we recap how the Chicago Street Race was quite surprising in multiple ways, which is a good thing! Then we get into the conversation about Atlanta. This will be the 4th trip to the new config of this track, so we break down the nice clean data set that we have to work with. We are once again trying to be as conservative as possible with our bets, focusing in on certain drivers that we like and finding ways to make money. It's been working for us the past month, so we're trying to keep the ball rolling!

The streets of Chicago are shutting down this July 4th weekend to bring us the first NASCAR Street Race in recent memory. On this episode, we recap another profitable weekend in Nashville while going through the bets we hit and missed. Then we try and tackle this new race on the schedule as best we can. We discuss betting strategy and overall philosophy for this one, with a more conservative approach. Then we break down a bunch of different drivers who stand out among the rest as value plays, and the best ways to bet on them.

It's family vacation time right now, but that's still not stopping the pod from gripping and ripping on a few plays! After taking a bit of a victory lap and recapping the Sonoma race from a few weeks back, we take a look at Nashville Superspeedway as NASCAR goes back there for the third time ever. There are some outright plays that look good to start off the ep. Then there's one Top 10 that stands out above all others. We touch on the Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool, and discuss who we're taking this week. Finally, we find some head to head matchups that look fantastic in the Nashville lights! It's a quick ep, but full of solid picks and reasoning.

On this week's episode we recap what was an overall brutal race at Gateway, but recap some of the bets that made it out alive. Then, we look ahead to one of the OG Road Courses, Sonoma Raceway. Up there in NoCal, it's proven to be challenging for even some of the most skilled road course drivers. After breaking down the data set that we want to use for this week, we get into the gambling talk. This week, we're doing things a bit differently. Instead of organizing the picks by segment, we're driver centric. Talking about the drivers and why we like them, and then finding the best bets to place on them is the name of the game this week. We finish things off with some team and manufacturer talk as well. To cap things off and the first time in a while, we've got a Phil's Fired Up. This week is about the PGA/Liv merger, and how as NASCAR fans we should be happy in the short run and hyper aware in the long run.

This week we recap a wild weekend of gambling on motorsports, with F1, Indy 500 and Coke 600 all cashing some tickets from last week's pod. There was a lot of action on the track and off the track so we get to review all of that to start the episode. Then of course we had some news come out this week with NASCAR laying the hammer down on a couple of teams, so we discuss how that changes things from a betting angle. Gateway is next up on the schedule, and it's the second time ever here for the Cups series so we discuss the data set being used to try and handicap this tough race. We talk outright picks first, where we are doing our best for value + statistics in our picks. Then some interesting discussions around certain drivers in the finishing positions segment. Then, we wrap things up with taking some swings in the head to head market!

On this week's episode we put the recap the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro. The strategy we had played out well, so we'll go over that. But then it's time to talk about the longest race in NASCAR, the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway. In order to break this race down to the best ability we're joined by the combo that make up SpeedwaySteve2, Phil and Steve! They jump in to talk outrights, finishing position bets, and head to head matchups for the 600, as well as some other props on the race. From there we move to the Monaco GP where the fellas guide us through the best bets for the historic F1 race. Finally, we end things by talking about the Indy 500. Who are some drivers to watch for to win, finish top 5 or win some head to heads? We call out a bunch of names to watch on Sunday afternoon.

This week there's a TON of stuff to get to, but we start with a recap of a great Darlington race. The Goodyear 400 had some drama, so we break that down as best as we can, and talk about how our bets made out in the end. Then it's time to talk about a track that has risen from the dead; North Wilkesboro! It's back, and it's appointment television. We talk about the track itself, and NASCAR's decision to move the All Star Race there this year. We also breakdown the format of the All Star Race and what to expect with the on track schedule. To cap things off, we throw out a few names out there to take early in the week for some outright bets, All Star Open bet, and a Head to Head that makes sense.

At the (37:52) mark, we change gears and talk Horse Racing once again. The Preakness Stakes is upon us, and we are lucky to be joined by the best in the biz, Mayhemily! You can find her on Twitter @EmilyOptixEQ, and this week you can find her on the pod. She helps us make heads and tails of the Preakness field. It's the perfect way to start setting up your betting card for Saturday at Pimlico!

GUEST: Mayhemily at 37:52

On this week's episode we're looking to stay red hot as a hot weekend in Darlington, South Carolina is upon us. We start though, recapping the Kentucky Derby briefly, and then dive into how things went our way on Sunday at Kansas Speedway. We'll then move to talking about Darlington as a track and finding data points that make sense to try and help handicap this race from a betting perspective. In the Outright picks segment, we've got a little value, a little chalk, and a driver in the middle. Then in the Finishing Position segment we're calling out two drivers who are longer shots according to the books, but there's a method to the madness. Finally, we had to search high and low for a book to give out some decent Head to Head matchups, but we found three that make the most sense to throw in on early in the week!

An absolute blast of an episode this week and we head to the "Fly Over States" for some serious gambling action. First though, we take a look back at Dover where the podcast picks came out looking pretty, pretty good. We recap what went well, and the few bets that didn't. Then it's time to move to the next 1.5 mile intermediate track on the schedule, Kansas Speedway. The talk around Kansas starts out with the track stats and the best information to work off of as you try to make your picks for the race. Then we get into some outrights that are towards the top of the odds board, for good reason though. The finishing position segment isn't as juicy as it usually is, and we get into what's going on there before making some picks for Top 5's and some SHORT Top 10 odds. Finally, in the Head to Head segment we're looking at two matchups and a group bet that stand out ahead of the weekend.

At (49:50) we change topics and start the preview of the 149th Kentucky Derby. This is also available on Youtube for anyone who'd like the visual element. We break down the field in general, and call out horses that stand out to me as potentially winners or must have in any exotics. Let's have some fun this Saturday at Churchill Downs!

This week's episode is packed to the brim as we kick things off by looking back at Talladega...the good the bad and the close calls. With Dover on the docket this week, it's worth taking a look at back at the history of the track, while also looking ahead to the bad forecast this weekend has in Delaware. There are some big names that we're taking the in outright sections, all of which have won here in the last 5 years. Then, in the Finishing Position segment, we have an eclectic group of bets with a Top 5, Top 10, Team Bet, and we talk about the pick this week for the Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool. To finish off the gambling portion we get into some Head to Head matchups as always, but also touch on a Group bet that stands out. Finally, there's a "Phil's Fired Up" this week, as one of NASCAR's most prominent drivers is stealing ideas from this little ole podcast!

We're coming in hot once again with another outright winner for the podcast from the week before. This episode starts off recapping the Martinsville race where we're coming out with pockets full. There's also a mini Phil's Fired Up about HOW the racing actually was. After that it's time to look forward to Tallaedga. Coming in this week, I"M NOT SCARED of the big track from Alabama. We're talking strategy for this type of race, and why it always makes for an entertaining odds board. We break into who we like this week for outrights, but the fact is anyone we talk about this episode could be worth a bet. In the Finishing Position segment we're talking some longer odds for Top 10 bets on guys that have great history here. Then, in the H2H section, there is one matchup that we have never seen before, and maybe never will see again!

It's time to get all the dirt washed off, because we survived the Bristol Dirt Race and made it out with some money in our pockets! This episode starts off by recapping the bets that we hit, the ones we JUST missed, and the overall thoughts on the dirt race in general. Martinsville is next up, as we move from one of the least visited races to one of NASCAR's most. It's tough to comp this paperclip track, but we lay out all of the different places to look as we head into this race weekend. Then we get into some outright picks early, talking a little chalk, among a couple other double digit odds drivers. The Finishing Position segment this week has a Top 5 in it, which is a bit unusual for the pod, and to wrap things up in the Head to Head segment, we're talking guys who haven't been running very close to the front this season!

The Easter Bunny is coming to drop off some eggs this weekend, and we're hoping they are filled with winning bets. NASCAR is back at Bristol and they've once again put dirt on the track for some dirt racing under the lights. We start the episode off with a look back at Richmond to see where things went so wrong from a betting standpoint. There's a quick little Phil's Fired Up about the 19 team as well! Then, we talk about Bristol Dirt as whole, and how it's the not race to try to win all your money back at once. There are some drivers who are worth calling out however, so we break down three drivers in the Outright section. The same can be said for the Top 10 section as well, but with those bets we're looking for mostly long shots. Finally, we wrap it up with three Head to Head matchups that make sense.

This week on the pod we talk about how things played out for us at COTA with all of the craziness that went down at the end. What bets survived, what bets didn't make it...we hash all of that out. Then we look to Richmond Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400. We talk about the strategy this week, and the importance of what we see at practice and qualifying and how they tie together. In the outright section we're looking for value. We also MAY have gotten a visit from the Gambling Gods for one of the outright picks. Only time will tell. In the Finishing Position segment we're looking at some "moonshots" so to speak for Top 10s, and a fun little Group Bet with some back markers. Then, in the Head to Head section there are matchups that are really standing out among the others as options you could take right now. Hopefully we can use the data to our favor at this historic track!

This week's episode is a special one because we're covering two sports! In the NASCAR world we start by recapping the Atlanta race that was, and discussing how we made out with our bets. We then turn our attention to Austin, Texas, as the Cup Series is set to take on the first road course of the year at the Circuit of the Americas; or COTA. We break down the storylines to be aware of and get into who we like right now for the moneyline picks outright this weekend. Then, we're calling out a few guys in the Finishing Position bets who we also like to win their Head to Head matchups as well! Going all in on these guys may be risking, but we'll see if it pays off.

Then, we get into something new to the pod as Nick from @NicksMLBpicks comes aboard to talk about the upcoming 2023 MLB season. He gives us some insight into how he got started capping baseball, what his process is like, and we talk bets that he likes and doesn't like in the Futures market for baseball at this point. It's a really great conversation and a chance to win some money in a different way!

GUEST: 44:30 - Nick from @NicksMLBpicks via Twitter

This week the NASCAR Cup Series rolls back from the West Coast and heads to the converted 1.5 Mile converted Atlanta Motor Speedway, but we're all expecting Super Speedway racing once again.  We take a look at the best way to set yourself up for this potentially unpredictable track by looking back at the recent history of Super Speedways.  There are a couple picks to win that are chalky, but there's also a longer shot pick as well.  Then, it's all about finding the right driver and figuring out how to make money on them this weekend.  We talk Top 10s, Group Bets, Head to Heads and more.  There's a number of different possibilities out there for this race, so we're trying to be selective, and purposeful.  Then, to cap things off we break out something new for this year.  Not March Madness, but CARch Madness!  A bracket of the 8 bottom teams in the standings, with a catch...and YOU can get involved!  

NASCAR is back in Phoenix and even though it's not the championship race, it's a HUGE race for NASCAR gamblers to learn what we can.  We'll start the episode giving a quick recap of the success we had in Vegas, and why practice and qualifying info paid off.  Then, we talk about heading to Phoenix and how this new rules package for NASCAR is making it a bit tougher this week to call out picks.  We break that down and discuss the different data we are still using to look ahead.  Then, we're taking a shot at calling out some picks to win the race, and once again it's one from each manufacturer.  To finish off the second half of the show, Ryan Stevens from WinTheRace.Info joins the podcast once again to drop his knowledge on us and what a great race to have it for.  He gets into his True Performance Rankings and helps zero in on some guys that might make sense this weekend.

We start this week's episode by recapping a pretty solid week at Auto Club Speedway.  We talk about the best we hit, and missed, and give a nice little send off to the race track for potentially the final time ever.  Then it's time to look forward to Sin City.  The second stop in the West Coast Swing is one that we're excited about.  A great chance to keep the momentum going with the picks to win outright, with some value plays.  The Top 10 section is also filled with some value, as we look at 3 picks to finish Top 10 at -105 or better odds.  Finally the Head to Head section starts out with three matchups, including some drivers that we don't usually get to talk about.  And it wouldn't be Vegas if we didn't take a little risk, so we hit the roulette table to tell us who to take in a parlay!

On this week's solo episode, we're recapping what we saw at the Daytona 500.  How did the race play out?  How did our bets do?  All of those questions are looked at, and more.  Then we focus our attention towards Fontana, California and Auto Club Speedway.  It's the last time NASCAR will be racing on this 2.0 mile track, so we better make the most (money) of it.  We start with the track stats and data sets used this week.  Then it's time to call out picks to win the race.  We're looking at two guys who are in the 11 to 1 area and a longer shot that seems popular this week.  Then we move to the Finishing Position segment where we have a couple top 10s worth a second look, and a Group Bet that is too good to avoid.  We also are calling out a pick for our Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool, for anyone who plays those pools.  Finally, we break down some Head to Head matchups including one where you can get on either side as an underdog!  It's not goodbye, its cya later Auto Club!

It's finally here!  NASCAR season is officially upon us with the Dayton 500!  It's an exciting time as a NASCAR fan and it's exciting time for the gambler because this is a sport that is getting more and more fun to bet on, and more profitable as well.  Join us as we break down the biggest race of the NASCAR season.  After talking about the track stats at Daytona International Speedway, we get into the betting strategy for a track like this.  Then, at (18:07) we get into some guys we like to win the race on the more reasonable side of the odds.  At the (29:05) mark, we're talking Finishing Position Bets and drivers who have long odds for Top 10s AND to win the race as well.  Finally, we welcome on Derek Yoder once again to talk about his new podcast, the NASCAR Betting Preview Show, a new Season long One and Done pool that we're starting this year, and we we build a parlay from Head to Head matchups from scratch together.  Good luck this week!

The new season is upon us and it feels fantastic.  On the last "off season" episode, we're looking at a season preview for all three NASCAR series.  Some of the most fun bets are season long win total bets, so we'll dive all in on which bets make the most sense and why.  We start with the truck series where we have two bets that stand out, and a lot to discuss in terms of the short odds.  We also talk about some outsiders for the championship.  With Xfinity, win totals are not available but we discuss the landscape of the series and why certain guys stand out as solid picks before the season even starts.  Then, we move to the Cup series where there are 18 different drivers with win total bets available!  We talk picks that are locked in, bets that we're leaning towards, and also season long Head to Head matchups, and where you can find all of these at the moment.  Join the fun for the year and lock in these bets, as we get going on another great season!
