2011 Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen Picks: Betting on Underdogs for Big Payoffs

2011 Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen Expert Picks: Betting on Underdogs for Big Payoffs – How to Bet on the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen: A trip to Watkins Glen really opens up the possibilities for bettors looking to take a chance on an underdog. The seven-turn road course has given some of the top drivers in the series fits, and it has been unexpectedly kind to some of otherwise mediocre drivers. The gap between a driver’s normal performance and their performance at The Glen creates some favorable odds for bettors to take advantage of.

One driver that could help bettors beat the odds this weekend is A.J. Allmendinger. He is widely regarded as the best driver in the series without a win, but he could get the monkey off his back this weekend despite his 40/1 odds. Allmendinger has a background in road racing, and it has shown at Watkins Glen. He has never finished outside the top 15 at the track, and he averages a top-10 finish at The Glen for his career. In fact, he has the fourth-best average finish of any active driver.

Consistency is one thing, but Allmendinger’s performance in last year’s race is the real reason that he could deliver a big payoff for bettors. After qualifying in the top five for the 2010 event, he kept the car near the front of the field all afternoon. Allmendinger eventually finished a career-best fourth at the track, and there was no doubt that he had one of the five strongest cars. Another year of experience should only make the young driver more capable of pulling off an upset at a Watkins Glen track that already ranks among his best on the schedule.

If Robby Gordon wins Sunday, it wouldn’t be his first career win. However, it might as well be considering how long it has been since he has been competitive at the Cup level. Despite all his struggles since becoming an owner/driver, Gordon still has a shot whenever the series heads to a road course. He has mastered the craft, and he has actually won at both Infineon and Watkins Glen during his career.

The Glen has always been the better of his two tracks, which is why bettors may want to consider gambling on him this weekend. In his last nine starts at the track, Gordon has piled up five top-five finishes. His equipment is questionable at best in terms of durability, but Gordon has plenty of talent behind the wheel. At his current 25/1 odds, the former Watkins Glen winner is worth a look from bettors.
