Bayne Into Win Year

Autoracing Betting Lines

Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup. Date: Saturday, July 2. Race: Coke Zero 400. Site: Daytona International Speedway. Track: 2.5-mile tri-oval. Start time: 7:30 p.m. (et). Laps: 160. Miles: 400. 2010 Winner: Kevin Harvick. Television: TNT. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN) /SIRIUS NASCAR Radio. It's definitely hot and humid in Central Florida when the Sprint Cup Series returns to Daytona International Speedway for its annual "mid-summer classic."

 

Busch is now hoping to pick up his first win in a points-paying race on a restrictor plate track (Daytona and Talladega).

 

Busch won the Budweiser Shootout and first Gatorade Duel qualifying race before finishing fifth in this year's Daytona 500. He finished second in the 2003, '05 and '08 Daytona 500s.

 

One day after turning 20 years old, Bayne became the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500. He inherited the lead when NASCAR penalized then-leader David Ragan for changing his lane position just before the restart in the first of two green-white-checkered attempts. Bayne then held off Carl Edwards during the final two-lap overtime finish to win his first race in just his second series start.

 

Several records were broken in the February 20 Daytona 500, thanks in part to the newly-paved surface at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. The race featured a record 74 lead changes among 22 different leaders.

 

The two-car breakaways also played a huge role in this year's Daytona 500, as well as the Budweiser Shootout and Gatorade qualifying events. Two-car tandems will no doubt be a factor again this weekend.

 

Harvick won the 400-mile race at Daytona one year ago. He is also the 2007 Daytona 500 champion.

 

The two-car drafts made for a thriller at Talladega in April. In a race that featured 88 lead changes among 26 drivers, Earnhardt Jr. partnered with his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, during the final laps and pushed Johnson to victory in what was an incredible finish.

NFL Football Betting Online

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.

It is called the "pointspread."

Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.

But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.

A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.

In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.

The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
