NASCAR releases 2011 schedules for top three seriesAutoracing Betting Lines08/18/2010 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR on Wednesday officially released its 2011 schedule for all three of its national touring series. As expected, there are several major changes to next year's schedule, particularly in the Sprint Cup Series. The 36-race Sprint Cup schedule will feature two realigned events. For the first time in a decade, the series will add a new track to the schedule. Kentucky Speedway will host its inaugural race on July 9, while a second Kansas Speedway date will be held on June 5, the week after the 600-mile race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Phoenix International Raceway will move its first date to February 27, the week after the season-opening Daytona 500. PIR will replace Southern California's Auto Club Speedway, which will switch to later in the season on March 27. Texas Motor Speedway fills in the vacated Phoenix spot and will host its first night-time Sprint Cup race on April 9. The 2011 "Chase for the Sprint Cup" championship -- the final 10 Cup races of the season -- will begin at Chicagoland Speedway on September 18. Chicagoland's previous race date was in early July, a slot that went to the realigned event at Kentucky. New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which previously had the first Chase date, will now have the second playoff race on September 25. The race weekends for Martinsville Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway during the Chase will swap, with Talladega running the week before Martinsville. "The adjustments and realignment of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule will make for an exciting race season next year," NASCAR chairman and chief executive officer Brian France said in a statement. "The revised schedule provides better situated dates for the tracks, a more challenging lineup for the drivers and ultimately more intrigue for the fans." A second race added to both Iowa Speedway and Chicagoland highlight the changes in next year's Nationwide Series schedule. Iowa will host its Nationwide dates on May 22 and August 6, while Chicagoland will be held on June 4 and September 17, which is the day before the Chase begins at that track. The previous stand-alone event at Kentucky Speedway now will be part of the inaugural Sprint Cup race weekend on July 8. Next year's Nationwide schedule will consist of 34 races, all featuring the new car that is being run a total of four times this season. Twenty-four races on next year's Camping World Truck Series schedule have been revealed, with an additional race to be announced on a later date. Phoenix's truck date will move to February. The Arizona track traditionally hosted the penultimate truck race in November. Darlington will switch from August to March, while Michigan will shift from June to August. 2011 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES SCHEDULE Date Site Feb. 12 Budweiser Shootout at Daytona, Daytona International Speedway* Feb. 20 Daytona International Speedway Feb. 27 Phoenix International Raceway March 6 Las Vegas Motor Speedway March 20 Bristol Motor Speedway March 27 Auto Club Speedway April 3 Martinsville Speedway April 9 Texas Motor Speedway April 17 Talladega Superspeedway April 30 Richmond International Raceway May 7 Darlington Raceway May 15 Dover International Speedway May 21 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, Charlotte Motor Speedway* May 29 Charlotte Motor Speedway June 5 Kansas Speedway June 12 Pocono Raceway June 19 Michigan International Speedway June 26 Infineon Raceway July 2 Daytona International Speedway July 9 Kentucky Speedway July 17 New Hampshire Motor Speedway July 31 Indianapolis Motor Speedway Aug. 7 Pocono Raceway Aug. 14 Watkins Glen International Aug. 21 Michigan International Speedway Aug. 27 Bristol Motor Speedway Sept. 4 Atlanta Motor Speedway Sept. 10 Richmond International Raceway Sept. 18 Chicagoland Speedway Sept. 25 New Hampshire Motor Speedway Oct. 2 Dover International Speedway Oct. 9 Kansas Speedway Oct. 15 Charlotte Motor Speedway Oct. 23 Talladega Superspeedway Oct. 30 Martinsville Speedway Nov. 6 Texas Motor Speedway Nov. 13 Phoenix International Raceway Nov. 20 Homestead-Miami Speedway * Denotes non-points event. 2011 NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES SCHEDULE Date Site Feb. 19 Daytona International Speedway Feb. 26 Phoenix International Raceway March 5 Las Vegas Motor Speedway March 19 Bristol Motor Speedway March 26 Auto Club Speedway April 8 Texas Motor Speedway April 16 Talladega Superspeedway April 23 Nashville Superspeedway April 29 Richmond International Raceway May 6 Darlington Raceway May 14 Dover International Speedway May 22 Iowa Speedway May 28 Charlotte Motor Speedway June 4 Chicagoland Speedway June 18 Michigan International Speedway June 25 Road America July 1 Daytona International Speedway July 8 Kentucky Speedway July 16 New Hampshire Motor Speedway July 23 Nashville Superspeedway July 30 O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis Aug. 6 Iowa Speedway Aug. 13 Watkins Glen International Aug. 20 Circuit Gilles Villeneuve Aug. 26 Bristol Motor Speedway Sept. 3 Atlanta Motor Speedway Sept. 9 Richmond International Raceway Sept 17 Chicagoland Speedway Oct. 1 Dover International Speedway Oct. 8 Kansas Speedway Oct. 14 Charlotte Motor Speedway Nov. 5 Texas Motor Speedway Nov. 12 Phoenix International Raceway Nov. 19 Homestead-Miami Speedway 2011 NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES SCHEDULE Date Site Feb. 18 Daytona International Speedway Feb. 25 Phoenix International Raceway March 12 Darlington Raceway April 2 Martinsville Speedway April 22 Nashville Superspeedway May 13 Dover International Speedway May 20 Charlotte Motor Speedway June 4 Kansas Speedway June 10 Texas Motor Speedway July 16 Iowa Speedway July 22 Nashville Superspeedway July 29 O'Reilly Raceway Park Aug. 6 Pocono Raceway Aug. 20 Michigan International Speedway Aug. 24 Bristol Motor Speedway Sept. 2 Atlanta Motor Speedway Sept. 16 Chicagoland Speedway Sept. 24 New Hampshire Motor Speedway Oct. 1 Kentucky Speedway Oct. 15 Las Vegas Motor Speedway Oct. 22 Talladega Superspeedway Oct. 29 Martinsville Speedway Nov. 4 Texas Motor Speedway Nov. 18 Homestead-Miami Speedway Note: one additional Camping World Truck Series date to be added.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingWhy Sports Betting is so much fun?Betting SportsThe most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made) Points (or Runs) ScoredAnother bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game. Future BetsSports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Proposition Bets (or Prop Bets)Proposition bets , also known as prop bets, focus upon the more exotic aspects of a game and are generally reserved for events that are widely televised. Prop bets are extremely popular when it comes to wagering on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The Imperial Palace Casino’s sportsbook is well-known for the enormous number of prop bets offered. For example, you can bet on:
Types of BetsStraight BetInvolves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total. Sports Betting ParlaysA parlay is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together. The benefit of the parlay bet is much better odds than placing each individual bet separately since the difficulty of hitting it is much higher.Standard payoffs on a two-team parlay are 13/5; while a three-teamer pays 6/1; and a four-teamer 10/1. Parlay cards are also fairly common in sportsbooks and popular with bettors, as they are released early in the week with set odds that do not change in return for a slightly lower payoff. Round Robin BettingAdventurous bettors who enjoy betting parlays sometimes put together a series of parlays called a Round Robin . A three-team Round Robin consists of one three-team parlay and three two-team parlays. For example, Joe likes teams A,B,C – with a Round Robin he has a three-teamer with ABC, and two-teamers with AB, AC, and BC.Betting TeasersSimilar to a parlay, a teaser bet is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers, but is different in that the point spread is adjusted to your advantage on each individual wager. In exchange for the points, you get less of a return on your bet compared to a parlay. For example, a 6-point teaser would move the line on a 7-point favorite from -7 to -1, meaning the team would have to cover 6 less points. Each of the individual wagers must win or the bet is a loss.These are the main types of sports bets available today. But as sports betting continues to grow, sportsbooks will continue to develop new and creative ways to bet. We’ll continue to track these changes to the sports gambling landscape, so check back often and we’ll tell you all about it!
