Shumpty’s Punt: Mega Weekend Multi

It is a massive weekend of sport worldwide and, as I have had a ton of time on my hands this week with being on leave, I have come up with a multi bet the traverse basketball, ice hockey, soccer and American football.

Multi:

Leg 1: Dallas Mavericks to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA.

Leg 2: Pittsburgh Penguins to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL.

Leg 3: Chelsea to defeat Hull City in the EPL.

Leg 4: Everton to defeat Norwich in the EPL.

Leg 5: Seattle Seahawks to cover the line (-8.0 points) against the New Orleans Saints in the NFL.

Leg 6: Denver Broncos to defeat the San Diego Chargers in the NFL.

This multi should pay around the $30 mark for each dollar invested.

Best Bet:

If you are not keen to go as wide as a six leg multi, my best bet of the weekend is in leg 2.  The Pittburgh Penguins has been in awesome form on its current tour of Canada and come up against the worst defensive team in the competition on Saturday (Australian time) against the Edmonton Oilers.  They should cover the line (-1.5 points) easily and at $2.65 that is my best of the weekend’s sport.

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

Shumpty’s Punt: Monday Sports bets #2

The best bet of the day was successful and with one game in the NFL regular season to go, I think there is another bet that could reap rewards for punters in that game.

The Eagles host the Cowboys to decide the winner of the NFC East. Neither side has set the world on fire offensively this year and now the Cowboys are without their starting QB in Tony Romo.

All of this points to a low scoring encounter and that being the case the best bet arising out of this game is the total match score being under 52.5 points. This bet is paying $1.91 on Sportingbet.

Bet: Total game score between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys to be less than 52.5 points

Good luck and good punting.

It is the final round of the NFL season (before the finals) and at the start of the round there were 13 of 16 games that could have effected the finals make up.

One such game is the Kansas City Chiefs v San Diego Chargers game commencing in around 35 minutes. It looks like the results will fall such that a Chargers win will see them in the playoff. At the same time the Chiefs have rested Jamaal Charles for their final run in coming weeks.

Charles’ aside, this is still a Chiefs team that has gone 11-4 this year. I can not believe they are presently posted at $4.70 to win this game and that the line is 13.5 points.

I am tipping the best bet of the morning to be Kansas City Chiefs to cover the line (+13.5 points) against the San Diego Chargers. This bet is currently paying $1.80 so other punters obviously agree with me.

That said, I have not been convinced by anything I have seen this season and read over this week that the Chiefs are so reliant on Charles that they ought be a $4.70 chance. I think that is massive overs and I am going to take a piece of that action too.

The game starts at 7:25am Brisbane time.
