What is Pari-mutuel wagering?

Originated by a Frenchman, Pierre Oller, the word means 'among ourselves.' The track has no interest in which horses win or lose, but acts only as an agent. It only holds the money wagered until the finish of the race and pays the winning ticket holders the proper amount called for by the amount of tickets.

How are odds are determined?

Odds are an indication of the popularity of a given horse in comparison with others in the race. Odds are figured by dividing the amount wagered on a given horse into the total amount wagered, less the amount deducted by the track and state law.

NASCAR’s Loop Data shows Kyle Busch (+550) second among all drivers with a 110.5 Driver Rating across the past five Kansas starts, so he obviously shouldn’t be discounted. He has run 94.3 percent of his laps inside the Top 15 during the five-race span. In 23 Cup starts, Busch has just one checkered flag at Kansas, but he has a solid 16.9 AFP with 10 of his 23 starts resulting in a top-10 run.

Looking at a little longer odds, Penske’s Ryan Blaney (+2000) is coming off a checkered flag last week at Talladega, so momentum is on his side. Loop Data shows him fourth among all drivers in the past five Kansas starts with a 102.6 Driver Rating and 79.9 percent of his laps turned inside the Top 15. Hendrick’s Alex Bowman (+2000) ranks eighth over his past three starts at Kansas with a Driver Rating of 95.6, posting an AFP of 9.7.

The best long shot might be Roush Fenway Racing’s Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (+6500), who has a respectable 17.9 AFP in 13 Cup starts, with nine of his Kansas runs 20th or better. He could be one of the non-Chase drivers to make a little noise.
