Motorsports

MotorSports Banner

Betting on races is as old as time. It goes way back to the days of the Coliseum, when the Romans would race their chariots. Onlookers and spectators have always liked to have something going on the side,  ‘extra action’, if you will. On this site, you’ll find schedules for some of the world’s biggest racing leagues; including NASCAR, Formula 1, and World Rally Car.

How to Bet on Different Types of Motorsports?

NASCAR & F1

NASCAR and Formula 1 are arguably the two most popular racing leagues in the world. NASCAR is more popular in the United States than internationally. Formula 1 is more popular globally, sort of like comparing American Football with soccer.

Picking A Driver

The most simple is picking a driver to win the given race outright. Keep in mind that you’re picking one driver out of a field of dozens of drivers, so the odds of you selecting the right one are low.
That’s why you’ll see that even the favorite will be something around +300. With odds starting at that and often going up, you can afford to bet two or three drivers and still make a profit if one of them wins.
If picking a driver to win seems too daunting, you can bet that same driver will finish in the top three, five, or ten. Some books offer top 20 for NASCAR finishes.

Matchups bet

You can also bet matchups: one driver to outperform another driver. Another common bet is the winning make or manufacturer of the car in both F1 and NASCAR. Futures are also very popular, but those are mostly for over the course of a season instead of a single race.

Conclusion

Unlike sports such as football and basketball, there are no spreads in Motorsports. That sometimes confuses people new on Motorsports betting, especially if they have a background as a fan. You’ll often hear terms like “[Driver A] won by three-and-half lengths. While that is a common racing term, it in no way applies to anything related to gambling on the sport.

Before placing a wager, do your research. If you have a driver you want to bet on, take a few minutes and look at his track record, literally. Many times, drivers race better on certain tracks than others, whether it’s particular tracks or just certain styles of tracks.
