Indy 500 Odds

i'll have at least some chump change on Servia. Little surprised Helio is the second favorite, sure i know his history here, but damn almighty he's been driving like a punk lately. Buddy Rice back again    One of the most important stats that many might not know is that 46% of all the winners have come from the front row.

Dennis you think Spped has a shot?

My initial thought was he'd get smoked.

Whos he driving for?

I always try and remember how indy treats some. She's never treated Kannan well...

and a meaningless fwiw, pretty sure a green car has won once...ever...and if you get bored...

got servia @ 60-1 for .20 units

VD, shooter  

briscoe and dixon seem to be very consistent so far and tagliani with a blistering performance

yes sir he did and i'm hoping it continues. I was curious as to how Conway would run here after last year, and unless they're having major problems that we are unaware of, i think we may have found a fade for a matchup...if a matchup even occurs. Still early, but the remainder of this week will be vital before taking some longshots before qualifying. We shall see...

she was lucky, no doubt. I always remember an interview i saw with Shumacher where he said he had no desire to ever race at Indy. He said it was too dangerous. I always found it interesting that a racer of his caliber would say such a thing. You couldn't pay me to sit down there near the catch fence     Glad she's ok, for the most part.  

session six:

still gotta call bell, hildebrand + carpenter wild cards at this point...imagine the penske team stepping up...what a shocker

yesterdays efforts:

didn't think tags would beat dixon, gotta tip your hat to him...and i'm happy it wasn't a penske, ganassi or andretti car for that matter...though the andretti team is in a bad place right now. Think we have more live dogs in this one than we've had in a looong time, servia included. Enjoy bump day

Gonna post F1 odds in here too, I can't wait for sunday....best racing day of the year.....Love the F1` race in Monaco, followed by another 1100 miles of racing after that. Great day for sure.

Capt.  ....Have you had a chance to go through the practices and such?

Shooter...i have gone thru the practices, but rain washed out or shortened many of them. I am trying to go ahead and llok at the matchups and set my odds for them. As shitty as Kanaan's luck has been here, it's interesting to note that Marco has not finished a staggering 30% of the races he has started. (running in 60 of the 86) Lean Meira over Carpenter as well. I think Carpenter is a turd. Oh, Danica has been running at the end of 90 of her 102 starts as well.

guesses:

dixon -120 vs power

carpenter -150 vs meira

kanaan -120 vs marco

if someone sees the matchups before me please post them, f1 to please. Love this weekend of racing myself. I'll check back later this evening
