Why some books suck for NASCAR betting

I usually use 2 to 3 books for racing season, right now I only have 2 funded ...dimes and bookmaker....i will start using my greek account here real soon also...but I wanted to show how much of a joke some of these lines are at certain books.

This week I think the early action has clearly been on Johnson and Kenseth.

Johnson opened up pretty much everywhere right around +500 to +550

Kenseth opened up pretty much around +1500 to +1600

 

this is where they sit now.....

Johnson                             Kenseth

Dimes = +450                           +1400

Bookmaker = +500                    +700 

Greek = +450                             +1500

Bodog = +400                             +1500

 

This is why you have to shop your lines, especially when it comes to nascar....Bookmaker is clearly 1 of the worst when it comes to shading lines in their favor, but they do still have the best odds on Johnson.  Also, another thing to keep in mind is when these books get their lines out.... Greek is usually the 1st if not 2nd and has their lines out the night before the race, Dimes used to be the same way, but dropped the ball so far this year...Bookmaker and Bodog...LOL, about 2 hours prior to the race starting.

All of the mentioned abouve usually offer nationwide and Truck odds also, except for Bookmaker

If you guys have any other suggestions or experiences with books you have used, please add them in here. 

 

And heres to a kenseth victory this sunday at 16-1 odds

Yea, I'm looking at bookmaker's lines, and I think there's just somebody making up numbers then dividing by 4.

McMurray +2000
Last 7 finishes at Fontana: 36 16 24 22 16 37 20
He's +6000 at sportsbook.

best book out there all around in by far, dimes.....now there are certain things that have upset me, like not getting the 500 lines up fast enough last week...but they are 1 of the few books where you can parlay , nascar, boxing, mma, basketball, olympics, etc.......

Not many books allow that
