Auto racing is most commonly bet with outright winner odds for a single race. You can bet on which driver will finish first, with each driver priced according to their perceived chances of winning the race.
For example, Driver A is a +250 favorite to win the race while Driver B is set at +550 and Driver C is at +700. That means for every $1 wagered on Driver A, you could win $2.50 if they win the race. For every $1 wagered on Driver B, you could win $5.50 and for every $1 wagered on Driver C, you could win $7.00.
Auto racing odds are also available for head-to-head driver matchups and three-way betting, also known as speed lanes. Bettors are given two or three drivers, all with different odds, and they can wager on which driver they think will post the best finish for that single race.
There are also alternative wagers available, including track, driver and manufacturer props and totals on laps led for specific drivers.
