About NASCAR Betting

Nascar (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) betting odds are calculated in a similar way to those of most sports betting and you can get the odds from most online bookmakers.

Nascar Odds vary for different types of bets; the most popular bet is on the outright winner, for this odds will be offered between +400 and +600. +400 meaning, risk £100, and win £400 if the bet wins. Longer shot drivers who still have a shot at winning will be offered at +900 or more. With outright bets you can find books offering 200:1 or even more on the usual back-markers. However, sometimes you can find a long shot with a winning chance for 50 or 60 to 1.

Odds for a race match up bet would be something to the effect of, Carl Edwards -115 Vs Matt Kenseth -115 (for example at Michigan). The -115 odds mean you must risk £115 to win £100. The £15 difference here is the commission that the bookie takes for the service of taking the bet. If the line changes and Matt Kenseth becomes the bigger favourite (say after good practice speeds) then his odds would shift to -125 or more and Edwards’ odds would shift to -105. This is because the bookie thinks Matt Kenseth now has a greater chance at beating Carl Edwards, so he moves the line to reflect probability. You can find matchup bets for the race and qualifying at most offshore books.
