Another weekend means another festivus of sports and punting. This weekend I have a four leg multi that I am particularly keen on as well as a couple of horses that I think have the potential to run well. As always: gamble responsibly, whilst I take all care with these tips I take no responsibility if they are unsuccessful and prices are accurate from Sportsbet.com.au at the time of posting.

Horse Racing

Brisbane Race 3 Number 5 Thefifthole (each way) ($6.50 / $2.30)

Melbourne Race 6 Number 9 Happy Galaxy (win) ($3.50)

Sydney Race 2 Number 4 Short Shift (win) ($2.10)

Sports Multi

Leg 1: Chiefs to cover the line (-6.5 points) against the Blues in Super Rugby at $1.92

Leg 2: Reds to cover the line (+2.5 points) against the Waratahs in Super Rugby at $1.92

Leg 3: Essendon to defeat the Western Bulloggs by 40 or more points in the AFL at $1.86

Leg 4: Manly to cover the line (-7.5 points) against North Queensland in NRL at $1.90

This multi will return $13.02 for every dollar invested and in the interests of full disclosure I have wagered $25 on this multi.

Good luck and good punting everyone! Bring on the sport!

Shumpty’s Punt: 22 / 23 June 2013

I know I said that I was hanging up the punting boots after a run of multi bets that had, simply put, done my head in and been rendered nugatory in the first leg. I have given some thought to having a couple of bets this weekend for the first time in a while and have come up with a couple of bets at Eagle Farm and a 4 leg multi that I reckon are well placed to get punters a return.

Horse Racing

Eagle Farm Race 6: Rothera

Eagle Farm Race 7: Red Tracer

Sports Multi

Leg 1: New Zealand All Blacks to cover the line (-19.5 points) against France at $1.90.

Leg 2: Canberra Raiders to cover the line (-8.0 points) against Wests Tigers at $1.92.

Leg 3: British and Irish Lions to cover the line (-3.5 points) against Australia at $1.92.

Leg 4: Fremantle Dockers to defeat North Melbourne with the margin 1 – 39 points at $2.00.

This multi will pay $14.00 for every dollar invested.

I am aware that I am betting against the Wallabies here and it goes against everything my heart is saying but, as I wrote yesterday, I think the Wallabies are massively underdone for this test match.

Good luck and good punting all and, as always, please gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: what to do in the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes

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

Well Black Caviar returns to racing this weekend in the Group 1 Weight for Age Black Caviar Lightning Stakes over 1000m. The Champion Mare returns to the track for the first time in 8 months and has been posted as $1.06 favourite on most fixed price market.

This leads to the usual question of how do you find some value out of a Black Caviar race. I have had a look at the form and reckon there might be some good value in this first 4 bet:

1st: Black Caviar (Number 6)
2nd: Golden Archer (Number 2) / Shamexpress (Number 8)
3nd: First Command (Number 1)/ 2 / Moment of Change (Number 3) / Satin Shoes (Number 7)/ 8
4th: 1 / 2 / 3 / 7 / 8

A $50 bet on this will get you back a little over 2 times the dividend so for a fun bet it is well worth the effort in my view.
