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.

NASCAR’s Daytona 500 is one of the most entertaining but unpredictable races on the Cup Series’ 36-race schedule, largely because of the massive, multi-car wrecks — also known as “The Big One” — Daytona International Speedway is famous for. Even the best drivers in the field can be eliminated from contention simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But that can make sports betting for the Daytona 500 even more fun. Less than 48 hours before Sunday’s season-opening race, Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win. No surprise there since he’s going for a historic third straight Daytona 500 win and fourth overall.
Here are the odds for the top-20 drivers in the 2021 Daytona 500, as of Friday afternoon and according to BetMGM.
