[BigPapaPat]

I feel like it is Christmas morning this morning boys... The Daytona 500 is finally here! Good luck to all with their wagers this year and hopefully we can make some money along the way...

Here are my picks for today

HEAD TO HEAD

Brian Vickers +110 over Jeff Burton (5 units Bodog)
Alot of value here with Vickers being plus money

Kyle Busch -145 over Dale Jr. (10 units Bodog)

OUTRIGHTS

Kyle Busch +750 (1 unit Bookmaker)
Tony Stewart +600 (1 unit Bookmaker)
Kasey Kahne +1500 (1 unit Bookmaker)
Matt Kenseth +2200 (1 unit Bookmaker)

 

[BigPapaPat]

Not off to a good start at all...

Head to Head (0-2) -15 units
Outrights -4 units

-19 units total

 

[nascarphenom]

[BigPapaPat]

Week 2 at Fontana

Wasnt off to a great start last week but its a new week and going to get back on track here in California.

HEAD TO HEAD

Kyle Busch -105 over Jeff Gordon 10 units (Bodog)

Denny Hamlin +110 over Juan Pablo Montoya 5 units (Bodog)

Kasey Kahne -105 over Dale Jr. 5 units (Bodog)
Taking this because I think Dale is getting to much credit for a second place finish last week.

OUTRIGHTS

Kyle Busch +950 (1 unit Bookmaker)
Carl Edwards +2000 (.5 unit Bookmaker)
Clint Bowyer +1200 (1 unit Bookmaker)
Greg Biffle +1500 (1 unit Bookmaker)

 

[BigPapaPat]

I usually allow myself right around 4 units per week for out rights and I took Carl this week based on his previous success at Fontana and the possible feel good story of winning a race right around when his baby is going to be born. I think I am going to add Kasey Kahne for a .5 unit because at +3000 that is alot of value for him.

Kasey Kahne +3000 (.5 unit Bookmaker)

gl today...i also like kahne and bowyer so hope they come through for us

 

[BigPapaPat]

Positive units for the day...still recovering from my Daytona fail

Today:
Head to Head (2-1) +10 units
Outrights -4 units
+6 today

2010 Nascar Totals

Head to Head (2-3) -5 units

Long years boys...Keep on getting it! Vegas is a new week yet again!

Baby steps Papabear. Perhaps you can make my picks for the Nascar pool...im sitting in 35 out of 35

 

[BigPapaPat]

Setting my pre qualifying fantasy lineup for this week...it is thru yahoo and their "C" class drivers are really slim this year...anyone have any suggestions for a dark horse "C" driver that could make some noise without seeing practices or qualifying...picks have to be in before 5 am friday...right now I have Scott Speed and Paul Menard as my two picks but something just doesnt seem right about them...went with aj week 1 and hornish jr week 2...can you them again but trying to make sure Im not missing something before I submit my picks

Speed has the most points for the class so far so I may check him out and see if he can keep it up...Any thoughts?

[BigPapaPat]

Decided to go with Labonte and Speed....I have always liked mears but Im going to need him to qualify for a race or two before I take a chance on him and put him in the lineup...If I use him and he doesnt even make the show Im screwed from the beginning...thanks for the input guys...looking forward to everyones picks and the race this weekend
