    I usually use 2 to 3 books for racing season, right now I only have 2 funded ...dimes and bookmaker....i will start using my greek account here real soon also...but I wanted to show how much of a joke some of these lines are at certain books.

    This week I think the early action has clearly been on Johnson and Kenseth.

    Johnson opened up pretty much everywhere right around +500 to +550

    Kenseth opened up pretty much around +1500 to +1600

     

    this is where they sit now.....

    Johnson                             Kenseth

    Dimes = +450                           +1400

    Bookmaker = +500                    +700 

    Greek = +450                             +1500

    Bodog = +400                             +1500

     

    This is why you have to shop your lines, especially when it comes to nascar....Bookmaker is clearly 1 of the worst when it comes to shading lines in their favor, but they do still have the best odds on Johnson.  Also, another thing to keep in mind is when these books get their lines out.... Greek is usually the 1st if not 2nd and has their lines out the night before the race, Dimes used to be the same way, but dropped the ball so far this year...Bookmaker and Bodog...LOL, about 2 hours prior to the race starting.

    All of the mentioned abouve usually offer nationwide and Truck odds also, except for Bookmaker

    If you guys have any other suggestions or experiences with books you have used, please add them in here. 

     

    And heres to a kenseth victory this sunday at 16-1 odds

    I got Dimes, BetUS, and Bodog. Betus has thwe worst NASCAR lines out of the 3. Dimes is by far the best. Bodog sometimes has a few drivers with better odds than other books just depends on who you want.

    Thanks man. Thinking of opening a 5dimes account because of all the good things people have said about them on here.

    Must have been a ton of action on Kahne too. I put a small bet on him earlier this week at +1800 on bookmaker. Now he's +800.

    And Bookmaker has Earnhardt Jr at +700 at California? Whoa. Just looked up on Sportsbook.com that he's at +2500.

    Yourpix,

    bookmaker is a joke when it comes to nascar.....when I posted the live chat experience last week, that was with them....dumbass bitch didn't know shit... I love bookmaker for their top 5's , as I have found some mistakes on their part in the past...but any driver that is a slight favorite gets knocked down to about half of what every other book is offering. For odds to win, haven't seen anyone come close to 5 dimes......as for matchups, pretty much a toss up, although I do give bodog a  as you can usually get some nice dog plays out of there.

    Yea, I'm looking at bookmaker's lines, and I think there's just somebody making up numbers then dividing by 4.

    McMurray +2000
    Last 7 finishes at Fontana: 36 16 24 22 16 37 20
    He's +6000 at sportsbook.

    best book out there all around in by far, dimes.....now there are certain things that have upset me, like not getting the 500 lines up fast enough last week...but they are 1 of the few books where you can parlay , nascar, boxing, mma, basketball, olympics, etc.......

    Not many books allow that
