How To Bet Auto Racing Futures
The “Odds to Win” wager in auto racing is very simple to understand. Put simply, you just need to select the driver that will capture the checkered flag of the race You select any of the drivers in the race and your payout for the bet will depend on the odds given at the time of the wager. This wager can be placed until the race begins.
To figure out your Win Amount, take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered. Ex. Jimmie Johnson (5/2) - Jimmie Johnson is listed as a 5/2 betting choice. If you wager $100 on Johnson to win the event and he comes in first, then you would win $250 (5 ÷ 2 x 100). You would collect $350, which includes your win and stake ($100).
What does the FIELD mean? Many races will include a betting selection called the Field. This bet consists of all drivers not listed in the “Odds to Win.” Most races have a set number of drivers but it’s rare to see oddsmakers put a price on every driver that will race. Drivers that are given the least opportunity to win the race will be grouped into the “Field” odds and paid out accordingly if they win.

Jimmie Johnson crossed the overtime line just before the final caution came out.
Just three races remain until the NASCAR Playoffs begin, and the battle for the final spots heats up on Saturday when the green flag drops on the 2020 Drydene 311 at Dover International Speedway. Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron sits in the 16th and final postseason position. He is 25 points ahead of Hendrick teammate and seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson. On Saturday, Cup Series leader Kevin Harvick is the 11-4 favorite in the 2020 Drydene 311 odds from William Hill.
Harvick is followed by Martin Truex Jr. (4-1), Denny Hamlin (5-1), Chase Elliott (13-2) Brad Keselowski (12-1) and Kyle Busch (12-1) in the 2020 Drydene 311 starting lineup, and the green flag drops at 4 p.m. ET. With drivers unable to practice or qualify before the race on Saturday, you'll want to check out the Drydene 311 predictions from SportsLine's Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before locking in any 2020 Drydene 311 picks of your own.
Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick won the first two races of the 2020 season. In the season-opening Daytona 500, he nailed Denny Hamlin's win at 10-1 odds, and he hit eventual winner Joey Logano at 13-2 odds in the Pennzoil 400 a week later. He also nailed Hamlin's victory in the Toyota 500 in May, even though he wasn't one of the top three favorites.
Roberts also crushed the 2019 NASCAR season. Those who wagered $100 on his predicted winner in each of the 40 NASCAR races last year (an investment of $4,000) finished with a strong profit of $2,100.
In addition, those who put down $50 on each of Roberts' top four picks in those races (an investment of $8,000) were up a head-turning $3,400. Anyone who has followed his NASCAR picks is up huge year after year.
Now, Roberts has analyzed the field and odds for Saturday's Drydene 311 2020. He's sharing his winner and leaderboard only at SportsLine.
2020 NASCAR at Dover expert predictions
One shocker: Roberts is fading Harvick, even though he's the Cup Series leader and the Vegas favorite. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has six wins, 15 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes this season. He is coming off a 17th-place finish at the road course at Daytona International Speedway.
'He leads the Cup Series with six wins, but none of them have come in the six races using the 750-horsepower package,' Roberts told SportsLine. 'I don't believe he'll be racing for the win. His odds remind me of Jimmie Johnson's at Dover when he was in his prime.'
Another curveball: Roberts is high on Matt Kenseth, even though he's an enormous long shot at 150-1. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Kenseth was the runner-up in Indianapolis earlier this season, climbing from a starting position of 21. He also finished in the top 12 in both races at Pocono.
'Kenseth's three Dover wins have come at all stages of his career, the last coming in 2016 when he drove for Joe Gibbs,' Roberts said. 'Even though Kenseth has struggled since coming back, he's worth a few bucks here because of his past, but mostly because Kyle Larson won in the No. 42 at Dover last fall. Those winning notes should still be fresh.'

Roberts also is high on a astronomical long shot who excels with this week's race package, which 'gives him his best chance to win.' Anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see who it is here.
