Super Bowl Sunday (or Monday): Best Bet

February 2, 2015 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , Leave a comment

One of the biggest days of the sporting calendar is upon us. Today the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
 
 I have to say that I am NY Jets fan and it has been a sad season for us. The only silver lining to that fact (and the fact that the Jets have been out of the season for some time) is that I have been able to take a close look at the final series this year more than most years.
 
 I am very keen on the Seattle Seahawks in this fixture. I know the Patriots have Brady but I sense they have been distracted this fortnight with all that has gone on in “Deflategate”.
 
 The Seahawks have had a near perfect preparation and are the defending champions. They are the unquestioned best defensive unit in the NFL.
 
 Defence wins big matches like this and if the Seahawks defence get to Brady I can’t see the Patriots having a plan B to turn to.
 
 To me, therefore, the best bet is the Seahawks to win this one straight out. I will be taken the $2 on offer for this result.
 
 The other bet type of interest for me is the total game score. Last year I took the “under” mark and lost after Seahawks ran away with the game. Both of these teams can score points and that has been leaning towards the “over” bet with the median line 47.5 points.
 
 Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday (or Monday) wherever you are watching. If you are having a bet: good luck!!!

Leg 5: Tomas Berdych to defeat Bernard Tomic 3-0 at the Australian Open.

NFL Championship Games Selections

January 18, 2015 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

The Super Bowl is not far away but before then there are two cracking games tomorrow for the NFC and AFC Championships.

NFC Championship Game

This fixture pits the Seattle Seahawks against the Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks are the reigning Super Bowl Champions and the prohibitive favourites in this game. The Packers are hoping their hobbled QB Aaron Rodgers can get through the game. Neither team looks like they have a lot of points in them so I am keen to take the unders on the total game score in this one.

Tip: Total game score less than 46.50 points.

AFC Championship Game

In the AFC the New England Patriots host the Indianapolis Colts. The young bull, Andrew Luck, faces the old bull, Tom Brady, and a mouthwatering match up of two fantastic quarterbacks. The Patriots are playing in their sixth straight play off series and have the experience and the home crowd behind them which makes me think they will best the young Colts here and end up winning by at least a touchdown.

Tip: New England Patriots to cover the line (-7 points) against the Indianapolis Colts.

If you put these two tips together and win your return will be $3.65.

1. Please gamble responsibly.
2. Whilst all care is taken with these tips no responsibility vests for losses incurred.

Good luck and good punting!

Tennis Tips: Australian Open

January 18, 2015 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Leave a comment

I am not a massive follower of tennis and have not had a major bet on a Grand Slam since Sam Stosur lost in the French Open. That said: I have been watching a fair bit of tennis of late and have come up with these bets for first major of the year:
 
 
 Women’s Champion: Petra Kvitova
 
 I can’t see Serena Williams winning on current form and that makes this a pretty wide open field. Kvitova gets my cash off the back of a slashing Sydney International win. $10 on offer looks good value to me.
 
 Men’s Champion: Any player other than the “big four”
 
 $4.50 is on offer if you don’t think Djokovic, Federer, Murray or Nadal can win this tournament. Murray and Nadal look out of form. I am not sure Federer has another major in him and Djokovic is just too short at $1.90. Last year was a year replete with major winners outside the “big four” and I am happy to follow that trend again here.

 Good luck and enjoy the tennis!
