After a crap run on the daily sports multi focusing on American sport I have decided to retire from trying to pick the winners in American sport. It is just too difficult and, worse, my frustration at losing was turning me against sports that I enjoy watching. As a sports fan first and a punter second it is time to get back to enjoying the contests again.

Leg 3: Detroit Red Wings to defeat the New Jersey Devils in the NHL.
Leg 4: Denver Nuggets to defeat the Boston Celtics in the NBA.

Shumpty’s Punt: the Friday Fancy
Here is today’s multi coming out of sport in the United States:
Leg 1: Brooklyn Nets to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the New Knicks in the NBA.
Leg 2: San Jose Sharks to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL.
Leg 3: St Louis Blues to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the NY Islanders in the NHL.
Leg 4: Jacksonville Jaguars to cover the line (+3.0 points) against the Houston Texans in the NFL.
Leg 5: Miami Heat to cover the line (-4.5 points) against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA.
This multi should return $33 per dollar invested.
As always good luck and good punting.
Shumpty’s Punt: Monday Multi
Another day, another crap result on the multi yesterday. Always seem to be one leg away but then fall at the second to last or last hurdle. It is Sunday night in the US and that means it is a massive night of sport. Here is my multi across all three codes in the US.
Leg 1: Dallas Stars to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL.
Leg 2: New York Giants to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the Washington Redskins in the NFL.
Leg 3: Portland Trailblazers to cover the line (-3.0 points0 against the LA Lakers in the NBA.
This multi should pay just over $10 for each dollar invested.
As always: please gamble responsibly.
Shumpty’s Punt: Sunday Sports
The folly of including ones team in ones multi is that it is generally that leg that kills the multi. So it was yesterday when the Maple a leafs lost in overtime. Never fear though: it is another day and here is another multi that I think has a great chance of reaping a return.
Leg 1: Notre Dame to cover the line (+14.0 points) against Stanford in NCAA Football.
Leg 2: South Carolina to cover the line (-3.0 points ) against Clemson in NCAA Football.
Leg 3: Chicago Bulls to cover the line (-4.5 points) against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA.
Leg 4: Texas A & M to cover the line (+5.0 points) against Missouri in NCAA Football.
Leg 5: Dallas Mavericks to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA.
This multi will pay around $25 per dollar invested. As always: please gamble responsibly.
