300 Odds
Man, it sure is nice to be back in Virginia…Or is it Tennessee?
Bristol is a border town.
2 days ago Top 2021 Alsco Uniforms 300 predictions One surprise: The model is high on Justin Haley, even though he's a 25-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR Xfinity Series at Las Vegas odds. So, negative odds – for example, -125 – mean you need wager $125 to win $100. Conversely, positive odds – let’s say +125 – mean you have to bet $100 to win $125. Simply put, positive odds show you what you win for every hundred bucks you wager, and negative odds show you how much to bet to get $100. Let’s look at a more concrete.
- Decimal odds are favoured by betting exchanges because they are the easiest to work with for trading, as they reflect the inverse of the probability of an outcome. For example, a quoted odds of 5.00 equals to a probability of 1 / 5.00, that is 0.20 or 20%. Decimal odds are also known as European odds, digital odds or continental odds.
- Well, Holloway has the plus sign in front of his odds, so he is the underdog to win, while Poirier is the favourite. In the cases listed above, a successful $100 wager on Holloway would yield a total profit of $240, while you would need to bet $300 on Poirier in order to have a chance of winning $100 in profit back.One last point.
My first experience in Bristol was when I was there to fight some mountain man in a cage.
It wasn’t the best decision I have ever made but it worked out in the end. I needed a few stitches and scars give us character.
I remember the athletic commission was from Tennessee. When we went out for some beers after the fight, the bars shut down at midnight, I think.
Needless to say, we were incredibly disappointed but that emotion quickly turned to an elated relief.
Just like a herd of construction workers heading to lunch, there was a mass exodus on one side of the street and after a few short steps, the party was now in Virginia.
For those of you familiar with a border town, I guess that story was pretty boring but the moral of the story is that Bristol is a wonderful town.
There is a heck of a racetrack there too!

Sometimes great things come in small packages. Bristol is one of the shortest tracks on the NASCAR circuit.
Only Martinsville is shorter and that isn’t by much.
- Bristol is just over half of a mile long.
- Drivers run a lap in 15 seconds.
The track changes throughout the race as rubber is laid down on it from the tires. Sometimes, the high line is the better line and sometimes it’s the low side.
Either way, all of the various strategies are exciting to me.
Bristol truly is a technician’s race track.
At yesterday’s Cup Series race, Chase Elliott found a way out of the winner’s circle once again.
Here's a look at what happened between @joeylogano and @chaseelliott with three laps to go at @BMSupdates. pic.twitter.com/aADnCUwFk4

Since NASCAR’s return, Chase and his team blew the end of one race and were wrecked by Kyle Busch in another.
Elliott can blame his crew chief for one of those and of course, Kyle Busch, for the other.
He better put on Michael Jackson and immediately have a staring contest with himself.
Elliott was fighting Joey Logano to hold on to his first-place position late in the race when the #9 Chevy was just pushed too hard and he slid into the #12 Mustang of Logano and both men were out of the race just like that.
Tonight, we get to see the Xfinity drivers take their best shot at Bristol at the Cheddars 300.
BetOnline.AG has the betting odds for us.
Let’s get to those and make our predictions!
Cheddar’s 300 Odds to Win
What Is +300 Odds
Starting from the top, Chase Briscoe has 4 starts at Bristol and 2 top five finishes.
He has never made it to the big show, NASCAR’s Monster Energy Cup Series.
Briscoe is a talented driver, though. The 25-year-old from Indiana already has 2 wins this season in just 6 races.
He won in Las Vegas before the lockdown and post-quarantine.
He was also the first to see the checkered flag at Darlington.
Phoenix is the shortest track we have seen this year and that is still nearly twice as long as Bristol’s half mile.
Briscoe had a respectable 6th place. He’s not Kyle Busch so I don’t understand him being such a big favorite.
Justin Allgair is the veteran of the group.
He has been successful enough to continue racing the Xfinity Series and also be competitive but Justin has yet to make the jump to the Cup Series.
Well, he has had his chances in the big leagues.
It just hasn’t panned out for the Illinois native.
76 starts over 4 years but 1 top ten.
One.
That’s not going to cut it.
Justin finished up the 2019 Xfinity Series season with 17 top ten finishes in his last 18 starts.
He is the model of consistency but you have to get more than one win all year long when you’re constantly in the top ten or top five.
Justin’s sole victory came at Phoenix last year which is kind of a short track.
In 18 starts in Thunder Valley, Allgair finished inside the top ten 11 times, the top five 8 times, but only one victory.
He is really the only Xfinity Series driver in tonight’s field that has a great deal of success here.
He is the only driver in Monday’s field who has a win here and just one of four drivers who have a top five finish as Bristol.
His betting odds of (+325) aren’t much.
Maybe we will come back to Justin.
Ross Chastain had 5 straight top ten finishes this season and then he switched teams from Kaulig Racing to RSS Racing and has just one 20th place finish at Darlington since.
In 164 starts in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series, Ross has just 2 wins.
He has run Bristol 9 times and only finished inside the top ten once.
Next.
Austin Cindric, a 6’3” beanpole from Columbus, Ohio is just 21-years-old.
The young man already has a spot on Team Penske Racing driving the #22 Ford Mustang.
Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney was running great here yesterday until the shadow on the track helped him get loose in turn 1.
Joey Logano was side by side with leader Chase Elliott when the latter lost control of his race car and pushed him into the wall.
That left Brad Keselowski, another Penske teammate, to win the race.
I would say the team is doing well and have their Mustangs well-tuned for some short track success.
Austin has done well here too.
Give me that track history, nice valuable odds of (+800), and has also had a tremendous start to the Xfinity Series season.
4 out of his last 5 races, he has finished inside the top 4 and in the other (Phoenix), he was 8th.
Harrison Burton is another driver I like today.
He has just one start here at Bristol but he managed a top ten performance.
We are also betting on raw talent here.
The kid is just 19!
Kyle Busch won’t be around to get the extra attention from Joe Gibbs Racing.
You just have the young man, Burton, and a Toyota Supra he can take to victory lane.
Daniel Hemric (+105) vs Brandon Jones (-135)
I wanted to pick Daniel Hemric to win.
You guys still can if you like.
Daniel had a bad day in Phoenix but he has finished 6th and 2nd in his last two starts.
Brandon Jones is Joe Gibbs Racing guy and he did win Phoenix.
I keep bringing up that track because it is the closest thing we have seen to Bristol so far this season but it is still 50% smaller.
I like the track history between the two here.
Even though he had the big win at Phoenix, Bristol is its own devil and Hemric has shown to be the better driver here than Jones on multiple occasions.
In Conclusion
Not too many days off for NASCAR anymore!
I love it!
I hope some of you guys got to watch the Cup Series race from Bristol last night!
It is a very technical track that can fool even the sharpest of driving minds.
- The teams didn’t get any practice.
- There was no qualifying.
- Just get out there and race!
- Mistakes were made and that’s okay.
I wish our boy Chase Elliott would have been able to hold on.
That would have been 4 out of 9 races when we successfully picked a winner.
3 of 9 still isn’t terrible but a win in Monday’s Xfinity Series race will for sure count.
Let’s hope Austin Cindric, Harrison Burton, and Daniel Hemric can do their thing.
Get your bets in now, guys!
Calculator Use
Convert stated odds to a decimal value of probability and a percentage value of winning and losing. This calculator will convert 'odds for winning' an event or 'odds against winning' an event into percentage chances of both winning and losing.
Be careful if you are using sports teams odds or betting odds. If you see that the Patriots super bowl odds are 9/2, that is most likely 'odds against' and should be entered in the calculator with 'Odds are: against winning.'
When playing a lottery or other games of chance be sure you understand the odds or probability that is reported by the game organizer. A 1 in 500 chance of winning, or probability of winning, is entered into this calculator as '1 to 500 Odds are for winning'. You may also see odds reported simply as chance of winning as 500:1. This most likely means '500 to 1 Odds are against winning' which is exactly the same as '1 to 500 Odds are for winning.'
Probability Formulas:
This calculator will convert 'odds of winning' for an event into a probability percentage chance of success.
Odds, are given as (chances for success) : (chances against success) or vice versa.
If odds are stated as an A to B chance of winning then the probability of winning is given as PW = A / (A + B) while the probability of losing is given as PL = B / (A + B).
For example, you win a game if you pull an ace out of a full deck of 52 cards. Pulling any other card you lose. The chance of winning is 4 out of 52, while the chance against winning is 48 out of 52 (52-4=48). Entering A=4 and B=48 into the calculator as 4:48 odds are for winning you get
300 Rodd St
For 4 to 48 odds for winning;
Probability of:
Winning = (0.0769) or 7.6923%
Losing = (0.9231) or 92.3077%
'Odds for' winning: 1:12 (reduced from 4:48)
'Odds against' winning: 12:1 (reduced from 48:4)
