The Colts are from the AFC and they won the Super Bowl back in 2006 and are hoping to claim the title this year. Las Vegas odds makers set their odds quickly after the last playoff game was completed. The Las Vegas Hilton was one of the first to get odds out on the upcoming Super Bowl, placing the Colts as 4-point favorites against the Saints.

A short time later online sports book BetUS had their odds posted which were the Colts by -5 ½ with a 56 total. Gamblers who will be backing the Saints will get +170 odds on the BetUS money line while the Colts are at -210 odds. The odds for the game vary depending on what location you are using but gamblers will find that the Super Bowl betting odds vary from offshore lines of 1-point to 1 ½ points. 

The line is expected to hold steady but it will depend on how the public is betting. If most of the bettors bet on the favorite then the line is expected to widen. However if the majority goes in the Saints favor then the line will shrink.

Retief Goosen and Mike Weir are leading the competition with the best odds for winning the event. The long shot to win the competition is Chez Reavie. He is the defending champion of the Canadian Open and he is ready to defend his title, even though he has been picked as the long shot.

Reavie commented: “I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I’m just so excited….I don’t think a lot of people understand when you’re growing up and you’re practicing and you’re working so hard, this is your goal…But there is no guarantees. It’s not like some other sport. It’s an amazing feeling, it really is.”

Retief Goosen and Mike Weir sit at 16/1 odds and close behind is Anthony Kim and Sean O’Hair are at 18/1 odds. Luke Donald and Camilo Villegas both have 20/1 odds while Scott Verplank sits at 28/1 odds. These are the top picks at Bodog for the 2009 RBC Canadian Open and a complete list of Bodog’s picks can be found at their sports book.

Goodell, who is notorious for having hardline stances and positions on any player or coach who violated league policies, has not made any public statements on whether he will schedule a meeting anytime soon with the one-time superstar QB of the Atlanta Falcons.  The commish will have a tough time trying to appease both fans and players who want to see Vick given a second chance -  all while trying to make it very clear that he will not tolerate the actions of a man who was convicted of felony dogfighting and outraged every animal rights group in the nation as a result of it.

Keys To Betting Nascar

1. Types of Bets
2. Driver Averages
3. Practice Speeds
4. Qualifying Results

Types of Bet

There are two main types of bets for nascar. Probably the more popular way to bet nascar is to bet an outright or bet a driver to win the race. This type of bet is you bet one driver to win the race outright for example if you bet Jeff Gordon to win at 10-1 odds. This means if Gordon wins then you win $10 for each $1 you bet so if you bet $100 you would win $1000.

The other popular type of nascar bet is the driver vs driver match-up. With the type of bet you will bet one driver to finish ahead of  another driver.  This type of bet is basically like betting money lines in other sports. An example would be Tony Stewart -120 vs Jimmie Johnson +100 so you would bet $120 on Stewart to win $100 and if he finishes ahead of Johnson you would win.

Driver Averages

Driver averages is a drivers average finish at a certain track and is one of the most important things to look at when betting nascar. Most drivers have certain tracks that they do well on while other tracks that they don’t do so well on. For example Dale Earnhardt does well on the super speedways Daytona and Talladega but often struggles on the cookie cutter mile and a half tracks. So if your considering betting on a driver make sure to look at how that driver does at the current weeks track.

Practice Speeds

 Usually each race will have 2 or 3 practice sessions durning the week leading up to the race and this is a great way to gauge how good a car each driver has. This isn’t always the case but most times if a driver has a fast car in each practice session then he will probably have a fast car in the race and if he has a slow car in practice he’ll probably have a slow car for the race.

Qualifying Results

I think qualifying is overrated but still worth taking a look at. Some drivers are better at qualifying then others a driver that comes to mind is Ryan Newman he usually qualifies better then he finishes and Matt Kenseth is a guy that usually does better in the race then qualifying. One of the main benefits to qualifying good is that a driver wont have to make his way through a lot of traffic and risk getting caught up in a crash or a mistake by one of the other not so good drivers.

By now you should have an idea on how to bet nascar and what stats to pay attention to so now the only other advice I would give you is to watch the race each week it may be a little boring to some but you’ll usually pick up some good of information that you can use for handicapping future races.
