indy 500

https://robertsnascarnotes.blogspot.com/2013/05/lvh-super-book-odds-to-win-97th.html

not so sure some of these will hold (none up at my two books) but interesting to look at regardless. I will defintely have really small wagers on  munoz and newgarden just from early practice session times. Feel free to add any thoughts/relevant info you come across  

 

does indy finally give kanaan a much "deserved" win here??

marco seems to be running well enough this year, and here in the past for that matter, to break the andretti jinx??

sato oh so close last year and the a.j. foyt marriage has certainly been better than expected

servia with a 6th + a 4th the past two efforts and about to lose his ride??

hinch has won every race he has finished this year, or do we fear the franchitti + helio legends??

 

Sato at 30-1 looks nice, He was fun to watch last year and not afraid to go for it 

Ryan hunter Reay 

I don't follow Indy much in fact this will be the only Indy race I watch all year more than likely. Whos the kid (rookie) that had it won the year before last I think and messed up on the last lap? I like that dude Lol...

Look fwd to your picks Cap!

 

catdaddy...sato seems to have matured this year and obviously leading the points but he seemed to lose a step yesterday....still don't blame you one bit  

stats...don't particularly love him on ovals ( power either) and certainly hasn't run well here ( with one exception)...but what the hell do i know

Tree...hildebrand garbage the bed and allowed wheldon to get the mother of all gifts that day...second consecutive day in the top 5 yesterday, so certainly worth entertaining at that number

5d has some numbers up, but none of the longshots are up yet

  and i could b wrong but i don't think dimes is going 2 post longshots think they r going with the field bet at very low odds     u think allmendinger has a chance 2 win??

while it is fair to say the ganassi boys have not found their speed yet, the team has won 3 of the last 5 here and the two they did not win, they led the most laps

franchitti's last five - 1,7,1,12,1

dixon's - 1,6,5,5,2

briscoe had a top 5 last yr with penske after grabbing the pole, but nothing to speak of before that...have to wonder how he shakes off the rust

completely agree, they will field us for sure...he's actually running pretty well and i think this is as a wide open race we have seen in years, but no sir, he won't be on my card

interesting to hear what they have to say...you know it's going to be wide open when townsend bell ran second fastest yesterday...didn't see that one coming       and right on cue, franchitti surfaces - Stats, rhr continues to impress, the first pratice session was the only one where he wasn't in the top 5. Still plenty of time to go but andretti racing has it working right now.

got a local who has a website and his numbers are usually not quite as attractive as what 5d has, but went ahead and locked in marco at +1000 and hildebrand at +3300 for .20 units each...i don't believe i will see better numbers than those...he has

franchitti 6

dixon 6

helio 7.5

hinch 8

rhr 9

briscoe 10

kanaan + power 12

allmendinger 17

servia + sato 20

rahal 18 (i'll be looking to fade him in matchups...in theory)

tags 33

munoz + wilson 40

viso + newgarden + simona 60

the dreaded field is 10

normally wait till after qualifying to play matchups, but i have seen enough to roll with these...one unit each

servia +100 v rahal

hildebrand +120 v tags

marco -130 v power

might involve munoz somehow, but this will prolly be it

good luck on whatever you play gentlemen  

added munoz +4000 for .20 units...only 8 rookies have ever won (that includes the winner of the very first race )  

i finally pulled the trigger last night on a few drivers...

hunter-reay,kanaan,and andretti all at 11-1 and newgarden 200-1 t.bell 80-1   that will do it 4 me on drivers 2 win will play 2 match up's for sure cant wait till next Sunday  

i can't wait either...surprised we don't see any matchups this morning...think we both have some good horses... let's see what shakes out  

Power will slot it this year but love Graham Rahal as a fan

greek just posted there #'s  marco and dixon the favorites at 7-1   dario,helio 8-1  hinchcliffe and carpenter 9-1     nothing really jumped out 2 me in matchup's

added .20 on helio @ +950...don't care for any more of the matchups either...good luck to everyone and enjoy the long weekend

............................................

This is a ripe race for the old guard.

y does carpenter have the edge?   

Am I missing something on how the field is the favorite? Is this munoz kid that good to make the field the favorite at +550? I dvrd carb day practice and the indylights race ( great finish! ) my 3 to win marco 6-1 best car going in it looks like, dinger 13-1 and kannan 17-1
