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!
The San Antonio Spurs come off their double overtime win against the Washington Wizards with a game against the injury beset Brooklyn Nets. The Spurs are not without their injury problems with “big guns” Parker and Duncan not playing this game.
The Spurs lead the Southwest Division and have won 21 of the last 22 games between these two teams. I simply can not believe the odds that have been posted for the Spurs in this game: $2.95 for the win and gaining the benefit of a line of +6 points.
Conversely, the Nets have again this season failed to reached the potential that they patently have based on their list. They do have some players returning from injury in this fixture but still have a large question mark over their form against teams in the top echolon of the competition.
I am going to stick with the Spurs for the second day in the row here and, again, do not believe that this will be a blow out.
Best Bet: San Antonio Spurs to defeat the Brooklyn Nets by less than 10.5 points in the NBL.
Payout: $4.35 (per sportingbet.com.au)
As always: good luck and good punting.
Today’s best bet again comes from the NBA. I am a massive fan of the Washington Wizards and am rapt that they are over .500 at the moment. Unfortunately, I just don’t think they will win today against the San Antonio Spurs. It will be a close game and thus, whilst I am expecting the Spurs to win I do not think this will be a blow out.
Best Bet: San Antonio Spurs to defeat the Washington Wizards by a margin of less than 10.5 points.
Payout: $2.75
As always, good luck and good punting.
Today’s best best comes from the NBA: I tipped the Indiana Pacers to win the NBA title and I think thhey will continue their charge for the title against the Atlanta Hawks today. I do think though this will be not be a game where the Pacers run up the score here so am tipping a close win for them.
Best Bet: Indiana Pacers to defeat the Atlanta Hawks by less than 10.5 points in the NBA.
Payout: $2.75 (per sportingbet.com.au)
Disclaimer: I take all care with the tips and bets I post on this blog but, for the record, I take no responsibility for losses that might arise (just to be clear).
As always, good luck and good punting!
I have not had much time this week to consider the horse racing form for this Saturday’s racing. Rather than do a slap dash job of it or tip horses that I have not fully investigated, I will be having a weekend off punting.
If you are having a bet: good luck and good punting.
If you are not: have a great weekend regardless … I know I will!
I have been out of action this week on the punt with being flat out with work so to make up for that I have come up with a “mammoth” six leg multi arising from today’s American sport. The multi will pay $66 for every dollar invested so it might be worth a look for even the most irregular of punters.
Leg 1: Toronto Maple Leafs to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Florida Panthers in the NHL
Leg 2: Columbus Blue Jackets to defeat the Washington Capitals in the NHL.
Leg 3: Boston Bruins to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL.
Leg 4: Indiana Pacers to cover the line (-10.5 points) against the Phoenix Suns in the NBA.
Leg 5: Tampa Bay Lightning to cover the line (+1.5 goals) against the Ottawa Senators in the NHL.
Leg 6: New York Knicks to cover the line (-5.5 points) against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA.
As always, good luck and good punting.
