2011 Sprint Cup Champion

Does anyone see any value on a driver other than Jimmie Johnson?

Edwards

Yeah his odds are 8/1 which isn't bad. I would love to put a little bit of money on McMurray at 26/1 but I can't do it without making a chase first. He always seems to get involved in a big wreck and ends up with a lot of DNFs.

I took Bowyer at 18/1, which I think is decent value and you know he will def have a chip on his shoulder after being penalized after his win in the Chase.

I also took Newman at 50/1 as my long shot. Not sure if he'll make the Chase, but I couldn't pass those odds up.

Sprint Cup   2011 Sprint Cup Championship
Sun 2/20  1:00PM
Jimmie Johnson   +250
Denny Hamlin   +700
Carl Edwards   +700
Kevin Harvick   +900
Kyle Busch   +900
Tony Stewart   +1100
Jeff Gordon   +1100
Greg Biffle   +1500
Matt Kenseth   +1600
Clint Bowyer   +1900
Kurt Busch   +1900
Mark Martin   +2300
Jamie McMurray   +2600
Jeff Burton   +3300
Joey Logano   +3300
Field (any other driver)   +3800
Juan Pablo Montaya   +3900
Kasey Kahne   +4000
Dale Earnhardt Jr   +4200
Brian Vickers   +5200
David Reutimann   +5200
Ryan Newman   +6000
Martin Truex Jr   +7500

imo, don't see anyone worth taking, maybe a shot on Montoya @ +3900 as he proved before that he knows how to point race and has the ability to win races. Joey is still at least 2 yrs away from contending for a championship, he may make the chase, but don't see him winning it yet.  Jr, LOL...they could make that 200-1 and i would save my $5, and Jr is my fav. driver.

Absolutx....No value whatsoever in betting Jimmy at +250

NONE.

I would hold my money until the season gets started if I were betting the 48. The only way his odds don't go higher is if he comes out and wins the first couple races which is highly unlikely given his Daytona track record. And even if he did....I don't see him getting below +250 and staying there all year.

I'm going to be on the RCR boys ....I see some value with Bowyer at +1900 but will wait on him I think. Although he'll probably have a good Daytona finish.Burton at +3300 is definately worth a look imo as well.

Dale Jr at +4200? Ahhh hell. I'll put a $20 donation on that.

He or Gordon probably win the 500 to start the year. Think I'll wait until after qualifying to play though. I think we can get better than the +1300

  

There is always value IMO.  I think Edwards has lots of value as I think we see the same season for him as we did Hamlin last year.  Absoluet none on JJ

I agree with Mad here about Joey.  Bank on his breakout campaign this yearwhere he wins multiple races and makes the Chase.  I think year 4 is the year he is contending for the championship but Mad is spot on about my boy here.

Tree88 and MillerLiteBoy I should have reworded what I said in post one. I would never throw money on the odds that Jimmie Johnson has. I guess what I was trying to say is that if you take Jimmie out of the equation who would ya pick? Because we all know he will be there at the end to have a shot.

I will be on Montoya for the Championship and for the 500 win also. He will make the chase this year, and I think he certainly has a chance to win it, guy can wheel a car.

No issues AB, I think Edwards has a real shot this year.  I think value lies in guys like Mad says with Montoya, Bowyer, etc.  I think the person that has ok odds but worth something more than top dogs is Gordon.  I think with Alan he is going to be a beast and compete as Martin did 2 years ago. 

 

Have to agree with you MLB, think you are right on with Alan taking over and finally getting Jeff back in V lane once again.

88

I like the chances of the 18. I promise this that if you have market betting ie betfair or matchbook you will be able to lay Kyle of at less than 9-1 at some point this year. I think the same goes for HArvick. Good value on Jeff BUrton as well. 

I am laying it with Gordon.  Not a huge fan of his but I think Alan may be the golden ticket to unseat JJ.
