Shumpty’s Punt: Weekend Mega FA Cup Multi

It is a massive weekend for FA Cup action in the England this weekend and having run my eyes of the combatants I am pretty comfortable that there is some value to be found in this round of fixtures in the form of a multi bet.  Here is my bet for this round of FA Cup action:

Leg 1: Nottingham Forest to defeat Preston.

Leg 2: Liverpool to defeat Bournemouth.

Leg 3: Draw between Bolton and Cardiff.

Leg 4: Total Game Score over +2.5 goals between Hull and Southend.

Leg 5: Everton to defeat Stevenage.

This multi should pay around $19 for each dollar invested.

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

Shumpty’s Punt: Friday night best bet

It is Australian Stakes night at Mooney Valley tonight and I am quietly confident that it is going to be a good night Glen Boss.  My best bet of the night is the Boss mount in Race 5 Maroon Bay (Number 4).  it has been absolutely smashed in the early betting and I think that early money is right on the money (pardon the pun).

Best Bet: Mooney Valley Race 5 Number 4 Maroon Bay

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

Shumpty’s Punt: NFL Championship Week

The NFL season is nearing its end and this week presents two excellent games in the battle for the NFC and AFC championships. I have been following the season closely and, despite the New York Jets not make the finals, have been very impressed with the games so far in finals month.

In the AFC the Manning led Denver Broncos host the Belichick coached New England Patriots. In the NFC last year’s a Super Bowl losing San Francisco 49ers travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks and their metaphorical 12th man.

Here are my tips for each game (commencing Monday morning Australia time):

AFC: New England Patriots to cover the line (+5.0 points) against the Denver Broncos

NFC: Seattle Seahawks to cover the line (-3.5 points) against the San Francisco 49ers

Both games will be willing encounters which, particularly the game in Seattle, could well be low scoring and dominated by defence which, for me, gets the Patriots and the Seahawks over the line.

Put both of those tips together in a multi and it will pay just short of $4. Can’t wait for the first game to start!
