The 2012 Indianapolis 500 Race Odds are out, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are taking our best shots at the odds to win the Indy 500 to see if we can strike it big in the biggest race of the year for the IRL.<\/p>\n

2012 Indy 500 Odds, Picks & Info<\/span><\/strong>
\n2012 Indy 500 Date<\/strong>: Sunday, May 27th, 2012
\n2012 Indy 500 Green Flag Time<\/strong>: 12:00 ET
\n2012 Indy 500 Location<\/strong>: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, IN
\n2012 Indy 500 Favorite<\/strong>: Ryan Briscoe (+350)
\nDefending Indy 500 Champion<\/strong>: Dan Wheldon
\n2012 Indy 500 TV Coverage – Network: <\/strong>ABC<\/p>\n

Next in line is going to be one of the sentimental favorites to win the Indianapolis 500, and that is Helio Castroneves<\/strong> (Indy 500 Betting Lines: 5.50 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. The Brazilian has won this race a number of times before, most recently in 2009 when he bested a fantastic field of very talented IRL drivers. Last year was disappointing for Castroneves, as he finished just 17th in a bit of a fluky race, and he is going to want to make amends for what amounted to be a bad run in a bad season. Castroneves already has one win this year under his belt to go with two other Top 5 finishes, and he is second in the IRL points standings as we speak.<\/p>\n

List Of Past Indy 500 Champions<\/span> (Since 2000)<\/strong>
\n2011 Indy 500 Champion: Dan Wheldon
\n2010 Indy 500 Champion: Dario Franchitti
\n2009 Indy 500 Champion: Helio Castroneves
\n2008 Indy 500 Champion: Scott Dixon
\n2007 Indy 500 Champion: Dario Franchitti
\n2006 Indy 500 Champion: Sam Hornish Jr.
\n2005 Indy 500 Champion: Dan Wheldon
\n2004 Indy 500 Champion: Buddy Rice

\n2001 Indy 500 Champion: Helio Castroneves
\n2000 Indy 500 Champion: Juan Pablo Montoya<\/p>\n

One of the more interesting names that could be on the docket this year is the man that was the runner up at the Indy 500 last year, JR Hildebrand <\/strong>(Odds to Win the Indy 500: 40 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. Is Hildebrand the best driver in the world? Of course not. However, he was one of the few drivers that finished on the lead lap, and he was able to stay out of trouble for Panther Racing. Now, the American is starting 18th in this field, and he is gonig to be one to really look out for when this race is said and done with.<\/p>\n

\"Wager<\/a><\/div>\n

Last year, we were high on Will Power<\/strong> (Current Indy 500 Betting Odds: 6 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>, and this year, we are as well. This is a man that has won three straight IRL races after finishing seventh in the first race of the year. The problem that we have with Power? He has never won here at the Indianapolis 500, and he really never has had a remarkable race here. Power was one of the favorites in last year’s race, but he was never really a factor, finishing 14th. If all of this is going to come to an end though, Power has the ability to do it, and he is going to be starting in fine position in the middle of Row 2 when the green flag drops on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The one thing that we have to remember about this race is that there is no shot at a defending champion. The IRL world is still mourning the passing of Dan Wheldon, who died in a fiery crash not all that long after taking the 2011 Indy 500. That being said, it is going to make the most sense to go with some of the chalkier drivers to win this race. That might mean backing someone like Ryan Briscon<\/strong> (2012 Indy 500 Favorite: 3.50 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. Briscoe is going to be starting on the pole, and that generally means good things in this 33-car field. Unfortunately for the Aussie, he hasn’t had a great career here at the Brickyard, finishing 27th last year and 24th the year before. He has had just one Top 5 finish in his career at the Indy 500, but we know that Briscoe has the goods to be able to get the job done this time around.<\/p>\n
