Greatest Bets: Daytona 500

The great thing about betting on Daytona is that everybody is actually a protracted shot to win. FanDuel lists Kyle Larson because the betting favourite at +1200. These odds give him a 7.69 p.c probability to win. For those who noticed these odds on a soccer sport, you’d greater than doubtless keep far-off. However this man is the favourite! 

That tells me there are many guys that in all probability have worth, which is who I am going to goal right here:

Chris Buescher +2100

I am unsure what he opened at, however I watched the chances go from +2400 to +2800 after which again all the way down to +2100. He has received at Daytona earlier than (in August 2023) and has had a stable historical past at this observe. So long as his odds are longer than +2000, I might say he has worth.

Austin Cindric +2400

He received Duel 2 at Daytona on Thursday, so we all know he is already received really feel for the observe. Cindric has already received right here, capturing the Daytona 500 in 2022, his first season as a full-time Cup Sequence driver and his eighth begin within the high circuit. So we all know the second shouldn’t be too large for him.

Like Buescher, so long as his odds keep longer than +2000, he’s price a glance.

Greatest Bets: NBA All-Star Sport

Crew Shaq (OGs) vs. Crew Candace (Rising Stars)

I might be stunned if Shaq’s roster of superstars let the Rising Stars think for a second they’ve a shot at successful this sport. They’re going to wish to remind the children that their time may be coming, however at this time belongs to the OGs.

Our Choose: Crew Shaq -6.5 at -118 (DraftKings)

Crew Kenny (Younger Stars) vs. Crew Chuck (International Stars)

I might anticipate the extra seasoned Crew Chuck to have the ability to handle enterprise in opposition to Crew Kenny’s Younger Stars. However it will likely be a a lot nearer sport than Shaq vs. Candace. It could not be stunning to see the Younger Stars come out firing and get out to an early lead.

Nonetheless, the International Stars will get them in examine by halftime and draw back within the second half.

Our Choose: Crew Chuck -3.5 at -118 (DraftKings)
