How To Bet On Nascar

Nascar Odds Explained

In order to be able to bet on nascar races you need to understand how the Nascar odds work, and the different types of bets. We will start with outright winners, pretty basic, pick the winner of the race. Nascar Odds for this type of bet vary, a big favourite might be offered between +400 and +600. +400 meaning, risk $100, and win $400 if the bet wins. Longer shot drivers who still have a shot at the win will be offered at +900 or more. With outright bets you can find books offering 200:1 or even more on the usual back-markers. How ever, sometimes you can find a longshot, with a shot, for 50 or 60 to 1.

The other popular Nascar bet is a race matchup bet. Two drivers are paired against each other, and you must pick the higher placing driver. Odds for this type of matchup would be something to the effect of, Carl Edwards -115 Vs Matt Kenseth -115 (for example at michigan). The -115 odds means you must risk $115 to win $100. The $15 difference here is the juice that the bookie takes for the service of taking the bet. If the line changes and Matt Kenseth becomes the bigger favourite (say after good practice speeds) then his odds would shift to -125 or more and Edwards' odds would shift to -105. Because the bookie thinks Matt Kenseth now has a greater chance at beating Carl Edwards he moves the line to reflect probability. You can find matchup bets for the race and qualifying at most offshore books.

Speedrows, bookies will throw together 4 or 5 drivers in a group with odds ranging from -150 to +1200 or more either way. You must pick the winner of that group. Usually tempting at first but odds offered on these types of bets are usually quite tight.

Top 3 or Top 5 prop bets can be very tempting. You must always check the probability vs risk factor before placing one of these bets. Bookmaker.com offers both, top 3 and top 5 bets, a host of other books including Sportsbook.com and wagerweb.com offer top 3 place bets, check em out and see if you can find some value.
