Super Rugby 2014: Preview and Crystal Ball

I am again writing for the excellent pinkrugby.com website for this Super Rugby season.

Here is my first post of the year: http://pinkrugby.com/2014/super-rugby-2014-preview-and-crystal-ball looking at all of the teams for this season and predicting where they will end up in their respective conferences.

Round 1 kicks off (yes that pun will be used regularly during the season) in the early hours of Sunday morning Australian time.

Shumpty’s Punt: Saturday Specials

I have not had a bet on a Saturday for a couple of weeks: I just have not seen anything going around that really inspired confidence.  This Saturday though I have a couple of tips that I am feel more than a bit confident about.

Flemington:

Race 6 Number 2 Criterion (each way)

Race 7 Number 1 Shamexpress (each way)

Rosehill:

Race 5 Number 3 Dissident

Race 6 Number 6 White Sage

Doomben:

Race 6 Number 2 Mishani Warrior

As always: good luck and good punting!

Shumpty’s Punt: Friday Fun Multi

It is Friday and that means it is Fun Multi day. Yet again we are focused on basketball (can the Olympics be over already?) and, in a short day of games are only looking at 3 legs.

Leg 1: Total game score under 120 points in the Michigan State v Northwestern NCAA Basketball game.

Leg 2: Chicago Bulls to cover the line (-3.5 points) against the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA.

Leg 3: Oklahoma City Thunder to cover the line (-10.5 points) against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.

This multi should pay a shade under $7 for every dollar invested.

As always: good luck and good punting.
