NASCAR 2012 Sprint Cup Betting Preview

on September 15, 2012 by Thomas Hackett

The ‘playoffs’ of the 2012 NASCAR season begins Monday. After twenty-six regular season races there are now just twelve drivers left who will contest the ten races in the Chase for the Championship. You can bet on the 2012 Sprint Cup at Bovada where you will find the best odds for all NASCAR events.

Favourite Jimmie Johnson is the favorite to win the Sprint Cup at odds of +250 ($3.50). Johnson is a five-time Sprint Cup champion and is one of the greatest drivers in the history of NASCAR. He has had a consistent season but has struggled for form in the last six races, finishing outside the top 10 on four occasions. Johnson is not at the best value at his currents odds so we suggest you look elsewhere for betting options at Online Sportsbooks.

Denny Hamlin in next in the Sprint Cup betting market and is currently priced at odds of +400 ($5). Hemlin has been in terrific form and has two of the last three races. He finished runner-up to Johnson in 2010 but looks like being an excellent chance to go one better in 2012. If he can maintain his current form Hamlin is the driver to beat and is currently available at excellent betting odds at Online Sportsbooks. We suggest you gamble on Hamlin at Bovada.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the third favourite to win the Sprint Cup at odds of +750 ($8.50). Earnhardt is looking to follow in the footsteps of his famous father who won the NASCAR Championship on seven occasions before his tragic death in 2001. Earnhardt Jr. has never really lived up to his potential but this could be his moment. He has been a consistently good finisher in 2012 and if he maintains that form will be one of the leading contenders. His odds of +750 are also great value so a bet on both him and Hamlin would be an excellent gambling option at Online Sportsbooks.

You can bet on any driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup at Bovada.
