Shumpty’s Punt: the Monday Multi

November 18, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

It is Sunday in America and that means American Football is the focus. Sunday night football pits the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos. Bizarrely the Broncos have been installed as very short priced favourites. I have anchored my multi around the Chiefs covering the line in this game which I think is the bet of the day. It is only a 3 leg multi but I am quietly confident we will be on the money with this one:

Leg 1: Memphis Grizzlies to cover the line (-2.0 points) against the Sacremento Kings in the NBA.

Leg 2: Minnesota Wild to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Winnepeg Jets in the NHL.

Leg 3: Kansas City Chiefs to cover the line (-7.5 points) against the Denver Broncos in the NFL.

This multi will pay around the $9.50 mark for every dollar invested.

As always: please gamble responsibly and good luck!

Shumpty’s Punt: Friday Fancy

No multi’s this week as I have been on the Great Ocean Road for a break. That said, it would not be a Friday without a sporting multi and here is 4 leg multi I feel quite confident about:

Leg 1: Boston Bruins to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the NHL.

Leg 2: Chicago Blackhawks to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Phoenix Coyotes in the NHL.

Leg 3: Indianapolis Colts to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Tennessee Titans in the NFL.

Leg 4: Golden State Warriors to cover the line (-4.5 points) against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA.

The payout on this multi will be $24.66 for each dollar spent.

As always: good luck and good punting!

Shumpty’s Punt: Emirates Stakes Day

Emirates Stakes day brings to an end another wonderful week of racing at Flemington. Polanski’s success in the Derby aside, it has been a barren period on the punt for this blog. That being the case I am limiting my exposure this week and focusing on the big race only with one exception being a tip that think is a moral in Brisbane. No multi today for multi fans: am still poleaxed from the Dallas Stars (NHL) costing me a pay day twice in three days.

Flemington:

Race 7:

Best bet: Toydini (Number 4) (each way)
Best roughie: Solzhenitsyn (Number 1)

My cousin “Dangerous” Dave aka “Fat Guts” swooped in the last on Derby Day and picked up Smokin’ Joe at $46. I am not ignoring the tip again and will have a little each way wager here too.

Eagle Farm:

Race 6:

Have been following Tail and All from the Heathcote yard for some time and can find no reasons for it not to win today.

As always: good luck and good punting!

Shumpty’s Punt: Crown Oaks and a Thursday multi

November 7, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

Yesterday’s multi fell at the 3rd hurdle with the Bruins not getting over the line. Have had a look at the form in American sport again this morning and have a 5 leg multi that I am very keen on. It is as follows:

Leg 1: Indiana Pacers to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA.
Leg 2: Toronto Raptors to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Charlotte Bobcats in the NBA.
Leg 3: Chicago Blackhawks to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL.
Leg 4: Golden State Warriors to cover the line (-1 points) against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA.
Leg 5: Anaheim Ducks to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Phoenix Coyotes in the NHL.

All up this multi will pay $45.78 for each dollar invested. Here’s hoping we can have some more luck than yesterday.

It is Ladies Day at Flemington today and the main race of the day is the Group 1 Crown Oaks over 2500 metres. Kirramosa is a worthy favourite after its slashing run on Saturday however I am going away from her and am tipping Solicit on an each way basis to perform very strongly.

As always: good luck and good punting.
