Rippoff Nascar odds

[blue7296]

Many casinos are using rippoff odds on NASCAR.

Carib, and Intetops to name just a few simply lower the odds on
select drivers of thier choice. Many other books are guilty of this also.

While I realize I am not forced to bet into these bogus odds, it is very unfair to the player.

Comments anyone?

Look at Olympic and Canbet. When a popular driver under performs in qualifying, they often raise the odds.

Blue I don't understand what you mean. All books constantly adjust the lines by moving the odds down on some drivers and raising them on others. It's called moving the line with action.

Olympic started Bobby Labonte at 12-1 and by race time he was 3-1. But at the same time Sterling Marlin started at 8-1 and ended up 25-1.

Same with Intertops. While odds on Park, Jr. and many others came down, odds on others like Marlin, Stewart, Jeff Burton and many others went up.

If you're looking for a book that doesen't adjust their lines after qualifying and doesn't adjust them after practice, I think you're going to be out of luck. What you should be looking for is a book that after they've made all the adjustments, keeps the overall hold the same by moving up the odds on some drives as they lower them on others.

Hartley, I believe his complaint is about books that only adjust downward, and they are out there. Not too caring about their racing business or they don't have someone to manage it well. Or maybe their clientele doesn't warrant it.

While I can't say anything about Carib (I don't follow them), looking at the beginning odds and ending odds at Intertops, they had 6 drivers who's odds declined and 7 drivers who's odds increased. And that is one of the books who blue mentioned.
