Alright fellas we are off to the great state of TEXAS for this weekends NASCAR action..the truck series is off again this weekend and wont be back in action again until May....the Nationwide series and the CUP series will both be racing from Texas Motor speedway this weekend on fRIDAY NIGHT and Sunday afternoon both days...

Considering the Gambling god owe us from last weekend and owe me for about the last month..this race is when my season started absolutely ROLLING last year so lets hope that trend continues this season as well cause i need it...im tored of these bad starts year after year....I have already started watching the past 4 race from Texas for thee Cup series and making my summary of last falls race and reviewing the other races and driver notebooks for their Texas performances....as always, all the REGULARS input, opinions, and leans/picks are always welcomed and encourages....without you guys this thread wouldn't be hit it has always has been and will continue to be...

TEXAS is a i.5 mile super-speedway with 24 degrees of banking in ALL 4 of the turns....the only time the brakes will be used this weekend is when the caution lights come on.....this race has also been very week known for LONG green-flag runs and fuel strategy in the last 100 laps of the race...just something to keep in the back of your mind

GOODLUCK this weekend fellas!!!!!

[5mike5]

so my woman last night asked if she could play $10 worth of slots on 5dimes for fun...rmember i gate onlune casinos and never play, but a few weeks ago i put $10 bucks in and hit that royal stra8 flush...was just betting a quarter so payout was just like $150...so i leave the room and shes playing joker poker and somehow was up like $150, and LOOK AT WHAT SHE HIT!!! add that $200 and she won like $350 in 15 minutes and i told her she could only bet 1 quarter, she was betting the MAX!

You didn't let her double up????

[milehigh]

come on guys..its not a tire problem

I agree to a certain extent, its a setup problem. But its the classic prisoner's dilemma: Team A sets up their car correctly and would make it great for long runs. The problem is the other 42 teams would have to set up just like Team A to get those long runs.

Let's assume half the field goes conservative (slower) for better tire wear and the other half goes aggressive. Theres no reward for the conservative guys because the caution flag is still gonna fly every 20 laps due to tire failures on the aggressive bunch, making their strategy useless (and slow). Given that, you'll see 43 teams pushing the limits and the same issues we had at California.

Let's see what Goodyear says tomorrow...

[shaunovery]

Teams stretching it to the max more speed harder wear on tyres

Less speed better tyres

Teams pushing it to the max

[5mike5]

its a comination..it is a tire problem and a camber issue...its both

there's vinny right on cue to correct some1 who he thinks is wrong as usual....

[5mike5]

You didn't let her double up????

FUKK NO!!!!!

i dont believe any1 should play online casinos....not sure if u were here that week or saw the post but during the rain delay i was so bored i put $10 bucks playing joker poker on 5dimes just a quarter a hand and hit a royal straight flush with 1.25 left

she hit a regular straight flush, then MAXED played (1.25 a hand) and played like 10 more minutes til i saw what she was doing!!!!!

i said babe DO NOT play MAX bet on an online casino they are ALL rigged, and then all the sudden she hits 5 ofr a kind for 750.....and she was gonna double it up, i really think she was going to!

she said this is fun, and went into our bedroom, grabbed my wallet and took out $200 bones

[uncle vinny]

its a comination..it is a tore problem and a camber issue...its both

theres vinny right on cue to correct some1 who he thinks is wrong as usual....

im not correcting any body..mile high said it best. it is a problem for the teams to solve...going for the wins at all costs. so do we look at short run cars this week or long run cars. past results at texas say long run....but with this "situation" maybe not the best way to look for race winners.

"this is fun" better change the password.

one thing for sure that i admire about you is your disipline. i mean..how you go without betting other shit is unreal. one reason i dont post up as much on line is for the reason of halftimes bets and such when i drunk and chasing.

you are the man on sticking to what you know

[shaunovery]

Does this mean mike (as your on a lean spell) your good lady bringing the bacon in playing casino

[5mike5]

well i guess it does shauno...well she has a good full-time job too as well...but woul never give me $ to gamble, well maybe if i asked but i never would

sugar-mama for the 1st month of every NASCAR season it seems...she is use to it

but seriously i always save profit from the previous years NASCAR season and I always pay my bills months and months in advance so i'm not under too much pressure when it comes to money..that's why i take payouts almost every race i win because i don't like the temptation of it sitting there...and usually either buy something for me, her, vacation, or pay a bill that might not be due for 4 months...not like i know the amounts on them all i just send them some $.....just pressure on myself which is enough trust me,...

now the casino i was stunned...i couldnt believe my eyes!

well she does know my pasword..i think she does...but she wouldn't get in there or at lest i THINK she wouldn't....hell if shes gonnas just keep jitting royal flushes and 5 of a kind playing MAX bets maybe i should post it on the computer screen .i don't drink anymore, not because i had problem , its just when i met her and stopped going to the club scene i just had no reason to..i never really drand except when ordering a steak at a resturant and i don't even do that anymore...i never just sat home and drank a beer...never did ,....ii havent had 12 single beer in probably 7 years now...last brew was with my pawpaw who is now pased away

when she goes on casino trips with me she likes to play keno and some cards and then just stays in the arcade ..

also leaerning blackjack and gets pissed off when i try and help her...talking abot EMBARRASSING is getting called down with a packed BJ table by ur woman....i musy have been 3 shades of red

[5mike5]

yeah as far as discipline about other sports...i do play football, but usually just 1 maybe 2 parlays a weekend and usually only +odd underdogs ML so if they do win its a big payout....i'm just not very good at anything else besides NASCAR events..at least to wager big $ on them....maybe it helps its 9 months out of the year....

nut there's always an occasional bet for fun but not even 1 a month usually...like my wisky>zona ncaa ML bet a few days ago....i get WAY more nervous about those bets with just a few 100 bucks on them than a do with 15x that much on a nascar sprint CUP race...lol

bottom line is if i bet other sports besides nascar i just wouldn't make money,...even with nascar profits for the season i would be a losing gambler...so i made the decision years ago either stop gambling everyday and focus solely on nascar, or just keep working and keep being a losing gambler...so i put in the hard work and it paid off...at lest it has for about 5 years or so now

and even the only other sport i love which is football (ncaa/nfl) im average and that may be stretching it...im much better at player props parlaying those than the actual games...i usually come close to breaking even or losingf/winning a small amlount...but i also have seasons where i just do terrible or dont even bet much at all like this past season...i might have made 1 maybe 2 bets at most a week and sometimes none at all

i just HATE baseball, hockey, golf, soccer, ect ect....only time i watch soccer is world cup (and i deont even understand the rules...and i mean clueless on the rules)...so on th biggest events i may bet the underdog just for fun on those sports i dont bet but its for dollars not even 100s usually...

im just a disciplined NASCAR only bettor, but its the only way i can survive and i am at least smart enough to recognize it

[uncle vinny]

good for you man. i do good on nba and ncaa hoops but i get bored during the summer and play that baseball shit during the week just for action...works about 3 times a month. i win on sundays and give some back during the week. that why i started doing th efutures on nascar after a win. pay the bils like you and reinvest into the future pool so that not to blow back on baseball or even worse nfl.

Maybe this week's race is a video game. Duck Commander 500

[5mike5]

Maybe this week's race is a video game. Duck Commander 500

is that a video game?

i just thought is was the new duck call from the duck dynasty guys...but ivr never hunted so im not positive thats what it is by NY meams

AND YES, im probably the only guy born and raised in West Virginia and even now even in Tennessee that has never hunted b4

[yisman]

I guess it is a duck call

just reminds me of names of video games. NASCAR races take the cake for the strangest names.

I mean, we never have the Bojangles Brickyard Super Bowl brought to you by welikemormons.com, at the Duck Hunt Fieldhouse

the 2014 Chevylikescars World Series 400 brought to you by meetfarmers.com and presented by wearehungry

[shaunovery]

Anyone made any plays on the openers

Didn't see much value maybe Edwards /biffle get a bit bigger

[uncle vinny]

Based on vegas and fontana...would take a early lean on mwr guys

I'm a guy from Texas that has never hunted either.... Strange

[uncle vinny]

nationwide early leans...

blaney @17 for 3 units ( i think this type of track suites him perfectly and he has the horse to ride)
harvick @ 4 for 2 units

[shaunovery]

Early plays

Biffle +3000 ( good record worth a few quid at those odds)
