I enjoy my sports betting(losing more than I win).  What would you folks have for lines if you were the oddsmakers for Vegas.

Schatz 1/3

Brown 3/1

Pittman 5/1

Madsen 5/1

etc.

Bell 2 to 1

Still love husets 

I would say Schatz is 1/5 favorite.  Nobody else better than 7 or 8 to 1.  The only way he loses is if he breaks or he gets caught up in somebody else's mistake.  He proved last year that even below-average qualifying won't stop him.  50 laps made it even more likely he wins.  I honest don't see anybody BEATING him.  He'll have to beat himself.

Is this heaven?  
No, it's Iowa....Knoxville, Iowa.

You have to be kidding right? He has never even raced at the track and he is a 2 to 1 favorite to win? I would not give him those odds to make the A. I am not saying he can not make the A but that is a tall order even for someone as good as him.

I think he meant Robert Bell and he meant to put down 2000 to 1.  lol.

My wife told me if I went to one more Sprint Car race 
she would leave me.................I'm sure gonna miss 
that ol' gal. 

Ahhhh... OKay. My bad.

Good one then!

sweet 6/1

Saldana 10/1

Lasoski 15/1

Sammy 15/1

S Kinser 15/1

Mccarl 40/1

Gravel 40/1

Beating Schatz in a 50 lapper will almost require an act of god right now.  Personally and I know I will catch flak for this but so be it I'd take the 15 car right from the scales to a lab somewhere and tear that thing to pieces.  He just runs the middle better than anyone I've ever seen there.  I'm def not an expert but 22nd to 1st at Knox is nearly impossible. 

More weight, more regulation, more similarity in the 
cars.... that will ensure plenty of thrills for years 
to come.  Only the most average talent behind the 
wheel will be needed with such awesome equipment on 
the track!

If i was vegas i wouldn't even let people bet on Schatz! I would give the field minus schatz at 2/1

McCarl way too low on that list. I'd put him in around Saldana/Lasoski. 

Realistically

Schatz 5/2. Brown 3/1. S. Stewart 8/1. Pittman 8/1. K. Madsen 10/1. I. Madsen 10/1. Dale Blaney 12/1. Lasoski 12/1. Henderson 12/1. Sweet 12/1. McCarl 12/1 McMahan 12/1. K. Swindell 15/1. Saldana 15/1. Dollansky 18/1. S. Kinser 20/1. Gravel 20/1. J. Haudenschild 20/1. S. Swindell 25/1. Maeschen 25/1. C. Bell 25/1. S. Smith 30/1. K. Kinser 30/1. Abreu 30/1. The Field 15/1. 

Just my thoughts.
