Daytona International Speedway Location: Daytona, FL Date: February 17, 2008 Kick off the 2008 NASCAR season in style with deluxe accomodations at the 50th running of the Great American Race.

NASCAR has become one of the hottest sports to bet, so we’re here to put you on the fast track to understanding racing odds and finding the best places to wager. The two main ways of gambling on NASCAR are “Betting to Win” a race and “Matchup Betting” which pits a driver against another
driver or a group of drivers.

The Daytona 500 is the hottest NASCAR Race of the year! The Daytona 500 marks the beginning of another year of great NASCAR action. All of the greatest NASCAR racers find their way to Daytona Motor Speedway in Daytona, FL for this great race with hopes to set the pace for a great winning year, and for the right to say that they one a big race in Daytona.

Betting the odds to Win on this years 2007 Daytona 500 will be the most common way to bet on this years Daytona 500 NASCAR race. Since NASCAR has multiple races over the course of a year, “Betting the odds to win” obviously offers numerous betting opportunities. It is very important to note that not all the drivers in a race may be listed, so another NASCAR betting option is on the “field” which includes all other drivers not listed.

The NASCAR odds on a “field” bet depend on how many drivers are listed and how likely it is for the top drivers to win. In other words, if the same five or six drivers seem to battle it out for the top spots each race, the odds on the “field” will be much higher since there is less likelihood that one of the longshots in the “field” will win.

Here’s an example:

Favorites or top drivers = 5/1 to 10/1
30 or so other well-known drivers listed individually = 10/1 to 200/1
Field (collection of 20 or more not listed) = 80/1

Futures are another way you can “Bet to Win” that can offer you appealing NASCAR odds because you are betting far in advance of when the event takes place. For example, betting on the 2007 Daytona 500 now might get you much better value on Jeff Gordon, who may be 10/1 at this moment but dip to 6/1 closer to the event if he is on a roll.
