Introduction to Betting on Auto Racing
The payoff on a winning selection varies according to the odds.
Proposition Wagers
| DRIVER | ODDS |
|---|---|
| JIMMIE JOHNSON | -130 |
| KYLE BUSCH | +110 |
Auto racing match-ups pit two drivers against each other in head-to-head wager. The driver with the better finish in the race wins the match-up. Sometimes multiple drivers are listed in a group where the best finish in the group wins the wager.
In the example, a wager on Jimmie Johnson for $13 wins $10, returning $23. Wagering $10 on Kyle Busch pays $11 plus your $10 back for a total of $21.
Other props may also be posted such as the over/under on the number of cautions in the race or which car manufacturer wins.
Lines can be found on other series and open wheel races.
