Nascar, IndyCar & F1 Betting Previews
NASCAR Betting
Each week during the NASCAR season, the chaos of each race makes for some incredibly exciting action. It can also make for some incredibly exciting betting action, as bettors can make a ton of different wagers on races throughout the year. Throughout each NASCAR season, we will provide our best bets on races held at tracks around the United States.
Types of NASCAR Betting Picks
There are not a ton of different NASCAR betting markets to wager into, but there are enough to give bettors some variety. Here, we look at the different types of NASCAR bets that can be placed on each race, as bettors have the green flag to try their luck across these different betting markets.
Race Winner
The most popular NASCAR betting market by far is the race winner market that is available ahead of each week’s race. The objective of this market is simple, as bettors are simply wagering on who they expect to take the checkered flag each week. With this bet type, every competitor is listed at plus money on most weeks, making for some nice profits for those who do predict the winner.
When picking someone to win a race in NASCAR, bettors can rely on the history of each driver and team at each track. Additionally, bettors can look at the starting position for each driver and how easy or difficult it will be for each driver to get to the front of the pack from that spot.
Head to Heads
Another type of bet that is popular throughout the NASCAR season is the head to head bet. With this betting market, two drivers are put against one another, and the driver with the better finishing position is graded the winner. This is a very exciting way to have action on a NASCAR event, even if the two drivers in a head to head matchup are well out of contention to actually win a race outright.
Handicapping head to head matchups in NASCAR is interesting, as bettors need to keep the rest of the field in mind despite the finishing positions of other drivers not mattering in the outcome of these bets. For example, if a driver not listed in a head to head matchup causes a wreck that takes one of the drivers involved out of a race, that will decide the outcome of one of these bets. It is up to bettors to understand which drivers are in a better position to win each of these head to head matchups.
Top-3, Top-5, and Top-10 Finishes
Also available at most online US sportsbooks are bets on drivers to finish in the top-3, top-5, and top-10 of each NASCAR race. The prices on these bets are not quite as generous as the prices on individual race winner wagers. However, there are more chances for bettors to win these wagers, as bettors have more margin for error while having a chance to finish within each range of finishing positions.
With these bets, bettors can be rewarded handsomely for backing drivers who are simply proficient at avoiding danger in each race. While avoiding wrecks can be very luck dependent during each race, drivers who race from the front of the pack and stay away from danger could make for very profitable bets in this type of NASCAR wager.
