Friday Best Bet

It is Friday and Fridays should always be fun shouldn’t it? I could not pick a multi I was confident today however I do have one bet today that I am very keen on. The best value of the day in my opinion is:

Tampa Bay Lightning to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL.

This bet is paying $2.40 and represents the best bet of the day.

As always:

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

Shumpty’s Punt: Sunday Special

It is Sunday and that means, unsurprisingly, there is sport to watch and punt on. I have looked at the sport that is on and have come up with this tip as my best of the day:

New Zealand Warriors to cover the line (-15.5 points) against the Cronulla Sharks at Mt Smart Stadium.  This bet will return $1.88 (on ladbrokes.com.au).

As always:

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

Shumpty’s Punt: Wednesday Wager

In the US sport at the moment is all about basketball and today’s multi is again focused on that sport. Five legs today with a possible return of around $38 per dollar invested.

Leg 1: Clemson to cover the line (-2.5 points) against Wake Forest in NCAA Basketball.

Leg 2: Duke to cover the line (-21.5 points) against Virginia Tech in NCAA Basketball.

Leg 3: Total game score over 202 points in the Indiana Pacers v LA Lakers NBA game.

Leg 4: Toronto Raptors to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers by between 1 and 10 points in the NBA.

Leg 5: Washington Wizards to defeat the Orlando Magic by 11 points or more in the NBA.

As always: good luck and good punting.  Please gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: Friday Best Bet

The San Antonio Spurs come off their double overtime win against the Washington Wizards with a game against the injury beset Brooklyn Nets.  The Spurs are not without their injury problems with “big guns” Parker and Duncan not playing this game.

The Spurs lead the Southwest Division and have won 21 of the last 22 games between these two teams. I simply can not believe the odds that have been posted for the Spurs in this game: $2.95 for the win and gaining the benefit of a line of +6 points.

Conversely, the Nets have again this season failed to reached the potential that they patently have based on their list.  They do have some players returning from injury in this fixture but still have a large question mark over their form against teams in the top echolon of the competition.

I am going to stick with the Spurs for the second day in the row here and, again, do not believe that this will be a blow out.

Best Bet: San Antonio Spurs to defeat the Brooklyn Nets by less than 10.5 points in the NBL.

Payout: $4.35 (per sportingbet.com.au)

As always: good luck and good punting.

Shumpty’s Punt: Thursday Best Bet

Today’s best bet again comes from the NBA.  I am a massive fan of the Washington Wizards and am rapt that they are over .500 at the moment.  Unfortunately, I just don’t think they will win today against the San Antonio Spurs.  It will be a close game and thus, whilst I am expecting the Spurs to win I do not think this will be a blow out.

Best Bet: San Antonio Spurs to defeat the Washington Wizards by a margin of less than 10.5 points.

Payout: $2.75

As always, good luck and good punting.

Shumpty’s Punt: Wednesday Best Bet

Today’s best best comes from the NBA: I tipped the Indiana Pacers to win the NBA title and I think thhey will continue their charge for the title against the Atlanta Hawks today.  I do think though this will be not be a game where the Pacers run up the score here so am tipping a close win for them.

Best Bet: Indiana Pacers to defeat the Atlanta Hawks by less than 10.5 points in the NBA.

Payout: $2.75 (per sportingbet.com.au)

Disclaimer: I take all care with the tips and bets I post on this blog but, for the record, I take no responsibility for losses that might arise (just to be clear).

As always, good luck and good punting!
