Shumpty’s Punt: the Wednesday Wager

October 15, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

It is the end of the season in the baseball in the US whilst the NHL season is now well underway and Australia is playing India in ODI cricket in India. From these three sports, here is multi that I think has a great chance of getting up. The first leg goes at 6:05am tomorrow so you will have to get on tonight or the first thing in the morning to take advantage of this bet.

Leg 1: Detroit Tigers behind Justin Verlander to defeat the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS ($1.64)

Leg 2: Toronto Maple Leafs to defeat the Minnesota Wild in the NHL ($1.67)

Leg 3: India to defeat Australia in the cricket ($1.60)

This multi will pay $4.38 for each $1 invested (all prices courtesy of sportingbet.com.au).

Horse racing tomorrow in Queensland is from Eagle Farm. I have a couple of horses I like going around that might be worth a wager:

Race 2: Shattering (Number 8)
Race 6: Plumage (Number 2)

As always, please gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

Have a great Wednesday!

Caulfield Race 2 Number 4 (The Huntress)

Caulfield Race 3 Number 1 (Iconic)

Caulfield Race 9 Number 2 (Solzhenitsyn)

Caulfield Race 10 Number 7 (Prince Harada)

It is the weekend and there is plenty of sport to watch. There is also plenty of folding money to be won. Here is my multi for this weekend that I am feeling very confident about.

Leg 1: St Louis Cardinals to cover the line (-1.5 runs) in the NLDS Game 2 against the Pittsburgh Pirates ($2.64)

Leg 2: Boston Red Sox to cover the line (-1.5 runs) in the ALDS Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays ($2.55)

Leg 3: Columbus Blue Jackets to cover the line (-1.5 goals) in the NHL against the Calgary Flames ($2.43)

Leg 4: Seattle Seahawks to cover the line (-2.5 points) in the NFL against the Indianapolis Colts ($1.95)

This multi should pay punters $31.89 (at the time of writing on sportsbet.com.au). Good luck and good punting.

Shumpty’s Punt: Sunday Specials

September 22, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , Leave a comment

After a break even day yesterday on the punt and the Melbourne Storm’s loss killing the weekend multi I have had a look at the upcoming sport have and some Sunday wagers that I think will bring a solid return.

Formula 1:

After picking up the “First Driver to Retire” “winner” at Monza, there is some value to be found in the running of Singapore Grand Prix which starts at 10pm tonight for those on the Australian Eastern Seaboard.

First Driver to Retire Estaban Guiterrez ($16.00)
Points Finish: Sergio Perez ($2.30)
Podium Finish: Lewis Hamilton ($2.63)
Hatrick of Fastest Qualifier, Win and Fastest Lap: Sebastian Vettel ($3.50)

NFL Multi Bet:

Leg 1: Dallas Cowboys to cover the line (-3.0 points) against the St Louis Rams
Leg 2: Detroit Lions to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the Washington Redskins
Leg 3: Houston Texans to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the Baltimore Ravens
Leg 4: Miami Dolphins to cover the line (-3.0 points) against the Atlanta Falcons

This multi should pay 13.37 for every dollar invested.

As always:

1. All care is taken with these tips but I bear no responsibility for any losses arising for relying on same.
2. Please always gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: Wednesday Wagers

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

Racing is at Doomben today and here are a couple of fancies that I think have good chances on a track likely to be rain effected.

Race 6: Number 4 Simply Smart (e/w)
Race 7: Number 4 Victorveto (e/w)
Race 8: Number 6 Cooloola (e/w)

These tips are based on the track getting no better than Dead. If the rating improves past that I would be passing on these tips.

Postscript: I commented on twitter last week that I was going to cease to post my tips on this blog. I was being a bit of a drama queen and having a moment because no one reads the tips. On reflection, I enjoy tipping too much to not do it so the Shumpty’s Punt portion of this blog is here to stay!
