Shumpty’s Punt: Wednesday Wager

August 21, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , Leave a comment

It is time for the FedEx Cup portion of the USPGA golf season kicking off with the Barclays Championship. I have a couple of bets that could see a good return for punters. Markets don’t close until tomorrow afternoon but, as always with the golf, it is always a good plan to get on early.

So, here are my thoughts for bets on the Barclays:

Finish in the Top 5: Can’t go past Keegan Bradley here. He has 5 top 5 finishes this year and is 10th in the FedEx Cup points standings. A big tournament player who can get on a roll and post a low number. Paying $8.00 to finish in the top 5.

Finish in the Top 10: I am going to go with a bit of a roughie here and pick 20 year old phenom Jordan Spieth here. Unless you follow golf you probably have not heard of the bloke but with 7 top tens out of 19 starts this year he is certainly a player of the future. Paying $5.50 to finish in the top 10.

There are couple of wagers for this Wednesday that might be enhancing the bulge in one’s wallet by the end of the weekend.

Good luck and good punting.

Shumpty’s Punt: Weekend Multi and Horse Racing

August 16, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , Leave a comment

It is another weekend filled with sport and having had a bit of spare time on Wednesday (a much needed public holiday) I have looked at the form and think I have a few winners worth an investment as well as the usual weekend sports multi. Good luck and good punting and, as always, please only bet what you can afford to lose.

Horse Racing

Doomben Race 1 Number 1 Grey Assignment (win bet) ($5 fixed price)

Doomben Race 3 Number 3 Raeburn (win bet) ($2.75 fixed price)

Doomben Race 6 Number 3 Mishani Warrior (each way bet) ($9.00 / $2.70 fixed price)

Rosehill Race 4 Number 10 Magic in the Mix (win bet) ($3.70 fixed price)

Caulfield Race 4 Number 5 Il Cavallo (win bet) ($3.70 fixed price)

Weekend Multi

Leg 1: Canterbury to cover the line (-11.5 points) against Taranaki in the ITM Cup ($1.90)

Leg 2: South Sydney to defeat Manly in the NRL ($2.00)

Leg 3: Natal to cover the line (-7.5 points) against the Golden Lions in the Currie Cup ($1.90)

Leg 4: Argentina to cover the line (+15.5 points) against South Africa in the Rugby Championship ($1.92)

That multi should reap $13.86 per $1 invested and for the record I am in investing $25.

Shumpty’s Punt: Sneaky Wednesday Wager

August 14, 2013 By in Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , Leave a comment

It is Show Day in Brisbane and, as has become traditional, there is a massive day of racing on at Eagle Farm. It is not your usual race crowd that attends the day but that should not stop punters from having a sneaky Wednesday Wager if they so fancy.

Here are couple of chances I am keen on from today’s Eagle Farm program:

Race 1 Number 10 Shattering
Race 4 Number 8 Darlin Jules
Race 8 Number 4 Western Shadow

As always: only bet what you can afford to and gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: no bets this week!

Apologies to all Shumpty’s Punt punters: I have been flat out on other projects this week and have not had time to do any form so will not be proposing any bets this weekend. I would rather not bet or tip than give you a tip just for the sake of tipping.

If you are on the punt this weekend: good luck! As always: do not wager anything more than you can afford to and do not spend funds allocated to other things.
