(Note: In American sports betting, odds are typically expressed with a plus (+) or minus (–) symbol followed by a number. For example, +200 signifies the amount a bettor could win if wagering $100. If the bet works out, the player will receive a total payout of $300; $200 profit + $100 initial stake).

TOP FUEL

Shawn Langdon is the overwhelming favorite at +225, backed by his position atop the Top Fuel standings. Reigning world champion Doug Kalitta is next at +400, offering a solid alternative.

Countdown hotshot Will Smith (+900) leads a group of contenders priced at +1000: four-time world champion Antron Brown, Justin Ashley, and rookie standout Maddi Gordon. Shawn Reed is a +1100 with Tony Stewart, Josh Hart and Leah Pruett both +1200.

Billy Torrence sits at +1400, with eight-time world champion Tony Schumacher at +2300. Clay Millican (+2600) and Spencer Massey (+4500) are longer shots, while Cameron Ferre is the biggest underdog at +9000.

FUNNY CAR

Four-time world champion Matt Hagan leads the Funny Car betting favorites at +350, and he’s also the current points leader as he pursues another championship. Two-time reigning world champion Austin Prock follows at +550, offering excellent value for a driver with proven championship-winning ability.

Jordan Vandergriff is at +750, with teammate and Jack Beckman at +800. Vandergriff is second in points, while Beckman brings championship experience and plenty of winning potential. J.R. Todd (+1000), a former world champion, and three-time champion Ron Capps (+1100) are also serious contenders.

Chad Green and Paul Lee join Capps at +1100. Daniel Wilkerson and Alexis DeJoria are each +1400. Further down the board, Cruz Pedregon sits at +2700, while Terry Haddock (+5500) Julie Nataas (+7500) Dave Richards (+7500) and Jeff Diehl (+9000) are among the longest shots.

PRO STOCK

Reigning world champion Dallas Glenn leads the Pro Stock betting board at +350 as he pursues a second consecutive title. Glenn also leads the points standings, but Greg Stanfield is just 14 points behind, making the championship battle especially tight.

Four-time world champion Greg Anderson is next at +500, followed by Stanfield at +800. Matt Hartford is +900 and Cody Anderson is +1000, while Troy Coughlin Jr. checks in at +1100. Six-time world champion Erica Enders is priced at +1200, alongside Chris Vang and Jeg Coughlin Jr.

Aaron Stanfield (+1400) offers an additional contender with championship credentials. Shane Tucker is +2000, with Matt Latino also at +3000 and Deric Kramer at +2500. Eric Latino (+3000) and Kenny Delco (+3500) are longer shots, while Alan Prusiensky is the biggest underdog at +9000.

PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE

Two time world champion and Gaige Herrera tops the Pro Stock Motorcycle betting board at +300, making him the favorite to defend his Las Vegas title. However, reigning champion Richard Gadson (+400) and six-time champion Matt Smith (+500) offer formidable competition. Herrera, Gadson’s Vance & Hines teammate, remains a serious threat after recent victories, while Smith continues chasing another championship aboard his Denso Buell.

Ryan Oehler sits at +700, followed by Angie Smith at +800. John Hall and Chase Van Sant are both +1000, with Joey Gladstone at +1400. Clayton Howey checks in at +1500, while Marc Ingwersen is +1800 while veteran Steve Johnson is +2200.

Geno Scali (+3000) and Chris Bostick (+3500) are longer shots, while Malcolm Phillips Jr. (+4000) and GT Tonglet (+5500) face steeper odds.
