5 Indianapolis 500 prop bets you can make with little-to-no racing knowledge

You don’t need to be a die-hard open-wheel racing fan to find yourself glued to the Indianapolis 500 every year. And you don’t need to know the ins-and-outs of IndyCar to bet on the sport’s marquee event each May.

While watching qualifying times and practice runs can certainly help you gain an edge, there are a number of prop bets and methods of wagering that require very little insight while still providing a ton of fun.

Much like the Super Bowl, plenty of non-racing fans across the world will turn their attention toward Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Memorial Day Weekend and find themselves awed by the pomp and circumstance of the event as much as the race itself.

Here’s how you can get a little bit of action on the race without knowing much at about it at all.

Just looking to bet on a few outright winners? We’ve got those odds right here.

All odds via Tipico.
