The William Hill Race and Sports Book company has over 100 locations in and around Las Vegas and the have cooked up the betting line as it comes to drivers at this weekend’s Denso 4-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock are represented below and every driver on the entry list is handicapped according to the book makers that work for William Hill. It is kind of fun to see how they think stuff will play out and poking around through the drivers that we talk to, there are some guys who think it is ok and there are some guys and girls who think that the odds are junk. Kind of as you’d expect, right?
Obviously, I am not going to be gambling because I am working the race and I have a strong feeling NHRA would likely frown upon me doing that. These things being said, I think there are some smart bets to be made here and some money to collect from your wisdom. I think Linderg, Todd, and Langdon are sleepers from where they are sitting. A couple bucks on either of those three would pay back handsomely and all three have the chops to win.
In top fuel I think that McMillan, Salinas, and Billy Torrance block are the same as the last three. Remember, this is four wide racing so you only have to “runner up” a couple times to make the final, you do not have to win every round.
In pro stock I am guessing Greg Anderson will have this thing pinned to the door of the trailer and say, “Oh, really?!” every time he walks by. I think they have not paid him due respect on this one. The same goes for Vincent Nobile as well in my estimation.
I’m going to double back on this next week to see how the bookies did at predicting the future!

Yawn….. Wagering is about the only thing that could make 4-Wide interesting.
