MLB Best Bets – Free (Wednesday 5/15)
Josh Gross
NASCAR was one of our first sporting events back from the pandemic shutdown, and that meant a sharp increase in interest in NASCAR betting. For all those diving into the game, today I’m offering a NASCAR betting tutorial and how to win some big money.
When focusing on what I do with betting, I focus on $100 per bet. All it takes is one bet to cover the other 5-10 bets you make — assuming, of course, that that “one bet” isn’t a heavy favorite.
We will use this past Sunday’s race as an example, the Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400. When focusing on the betting side, I check on two key items:
- Previous track history
- Track type
When we discuss track type, we look at the July 5 race in Indy, which is very similar to the two races last week at Pocono. I focus on how they raced the previous week there plus their last five races in Indy the past 3-5 years. After researching, we get to the fun stuff. I place six total bets, which vary from the following:
- To win – Who will win outright?
- Top-five finish – Which drivers will finish top-five?
- Stage winner – Each race usually has three stages (basically chunks of the race). Who will win Stage 1? Stage 2? Stage 3?
- Winning manufacturer – What manufacturer will win the race? Chevy, Ford, etc.
Again, I focus on six bets, which vary from race to race, but this is the path to success. Always include a longshot bet, which is usually anywhere from +500 and above — because you never know. This longshot bet is usually my sixth and final bet and it could hit and grow your bankroll the most. I’ll always post some of my favorite picks each week so feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
