Busch uses COT to lead all drivers at Daytona

Autoracing Betting Lines

01/18/2007 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Driving a "Car of Tomorrow" Dodge Avenger, Kurt Busch posted a time of 47.074 seconds (191.188 m.p.h.). It was by far the fastest time of any driver in either three-day session, but it was in a car that will not race in this year's Daytona 500. The Dodge used a 1 1/8" restrictor plate, as opposed to the 7/8" plate that will be used this February, to post the ultra-fast time.

The fastest in the morning session by a car that will be used in this year's "500" was posted by Jeff Gordon - 48.755 seconds (184.596 m.p.h.).

The afternoon's session was cut short by rain and was led by Paul Menard in the No.15 DEI Chevrolet. He circled the 2.5-mile superspeedway in 48.103 seconds (187.099 m.p.h.).

The first event of the season, the non-points Budweiser Shootout is set to begin in just 23 days. The Daytona 500, NASCAR's "Super Bowl" will take place eight days later on February 18th.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
