It has been a while since I sacked myself from tipping sports multi’s but with the new year now upon us I thought I would dip my toe in the water again and come up with a multi for this first day of 2014.

Leg 1: Houston Rockets to cover the line (-9.5 points) agains the Sacramento Kings in the NBA.

Leg 2: Total game score between the Brooklyn Nets and the San Antonio Spurs to be greater than 207.5 points in the NBA.

Leg 3: Portland Trailblazers to cover the line (+4.5 points) against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA.

Leg 4: San Jose Sharks to defeat the Anaheim Ducks in the NHL.

Leg 5: Columbus Blue Jackets to defeat the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL.

This multi should pay around $30 for every dollar invested.

If you are looking for a single bet of the day my best bet is found in leg 4 of the multi and is the San Jose Sharks to defeat the Anaheim Ducks.

As always: good luck and good punting and please gamble responsibly.
