Ways To Bet On the Indianapolis 500
We are going to talk about the different betting odds formed for one of the greatest races in the world, as there are several types of lines formed each year for it. From the overall odds to win, odds to record a high finish, head-to-head odds and more, we have you covered.
Odds To Win The Indy 500
The betting odds to win the Indy 500 is a type of futures wager, in which you predict the outcome of the race before the race begins. However, these odds could be formed weeks or even months in advance. But typically, the odds are in the week leading up to the race, as the field is ironclad and the engines are ready to get moving. It’s a pretty simple and straightforward wager, in which you bet on who you think will win the Indy 500. For the 2012 Indy 500, it’s Ryan Briscoe who is the overall favorite to win, going off at 15/4 on the amount wagered.
Odds To Record A High Finish At The Indy 500
This type of betting line is very similar to the overall betting odds to win the Indy 500, with one exception; you aren’t actually betting on the winner. A wager like this is usually a betting line to finish in the top-three or the top-five at the Indy 500. Obviously since this is easier to predict, the payout is not quite as high. However, you can still get a good betting line for a top finish depending on which driver you go after.
Indy 500 Head-To-Head Betting Odds
Indy 500 Betting Odds 2017 Week

The way the bet is won is by choosing the correct driver in the pair to finish higher than the other. Since this type of wager is only between two drivers, the payouts are generally around even money since only two variables are involved.
