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

No multi’s this week as I have been on the Great Ocean Road for a break. That said, it would not be a Friday without a sporting multi and here is 4 leg multi I feel quite confident about:

Leg 1: Boston Bruins to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the NHL.

Leg 2: Chicago Blackhawks to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Phoenix Coyotes in the NHL.

Leg 3: Indianapolis Colts to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Tennessee Titans in the NFL.

Leg 4: Golden State Warriors to cover the line (-4.5 points) against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA.

The payout on this multi will be $24.66 for each dollar spent.

As always: good luck and good punting!

It is another day and another opportunity to have a crack at an American sports multi.  Here is the multi I fancy today:

Leg 1: Miami Heat to defeat the LA Clippers in the NBA

Leg 2: Boston Bruins to defeat the Florida Panters in the NHL

Leg 3: Baylor to cover the line (-16.5 points) against Oklahoma in NCAA Football

Leg 4: Washington Capitols to defeat the Minnesota Wild in the NHL

Leg 5: Detriot Red Wings to defeat the Dallas Star in the NHL

Leg 6: Washington Redskins to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL

Leg 7: Denver Nuggets to defeat the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA

All up this multi will pay just a touch over $36 for every dollar invested.  As always: please gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: Crown Oaks and a Thursday multi

Yesterday’s multi fell at the 3rd hurdle with the Bruins not getting over the line. Have had a look at the form in American sport again this morning and have a 5 leg multi that I am very keen on. It is as follows:

Leg 1: Indiana Pacers to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA.
Leg 2: Toronto Raptors to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Charlotte Bobcats in the NBA.
Leg 3: Chicago Blackhawks to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL.
Leg 4: Golden State Warriors to cover the line (-1 points) against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA.
Leg 5: Anaheim Ducks to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Phoenix Coyotes in the NHL.

All up this multi will pay $45.78 for each dollar invested. Here’s hoping we can have some more luck than yesterday.

It is Ladies Day at Flemington today and the main race of the day is the Group 1 Crown Oaks over 2500 metres. Kirramosa is a worthy favourite after its slashing run on Saturday however I am going away from her and am tipping Solicit on an each way basis to perform very strongly.

As always: good luck and good punting.

Shumpty’s Punt: Another multi?

I know I proclaimed via twitter that I was retiring from tipping a sports multi each week. I lied! I can not resist thinking about sport during the week and I have again found myself focused on finding a winning multi bet this week. I promise that if this multi falls again at the first hurdle I will retire. I hope that I do not put the mocker on your team this week by selecting them in this multi:

Leg 1: Manly Sea Eagles to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL at $1.92.

Leg 2: Queensland Reds to cover the line (-6.5 points) against the Auckland Blues in the Super 15 at $1.92.

Leg 3: Boston Celtics to defeat the New York Knicks in the NBA at $1.66.

Leg 4: Central Cheetahs to cover the line (-11.5 points) against the Southern Kings in the Super 15 at $1.92.

Leg 5: Canterbury Crusaders to cover the line (-22.5 points) against the Melbourne Rebels in the Super 15 at $1.92.

Total payout: $22.55 per dollar spent.

Declaration of interest: I have wagered $25 on this bet.

Warning: Please gamble responsibly. If you do not have the cash do not have a bet: it is as simple as that. If you feel like you have a problem please stick your hand up and seek assistance.

Have a great weekend: there is plenty of sport to watch afterall!

Shumpty’s Punt: some weekend fancies and a sports multi

I have not been punting much of late but have done a fairly close examination of the form this weekend and have a couple of fancies at Doomben and sports multi that I am keen on.

Horse Racing

Doomben

Race 6 Number 2 Doubtful Jack

Race 10 Number 3 Dolly Dolly

Sports Multi

Leg 1: On Saturday in the NBA the Miami Heat to cover the line against the Indiana Pacers (-2.5 points) at $1.92

Leg 2: Also on Saturday in the NBA the New York Knicks to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks at $1.48

Leg 3: In the early hours of Sunday morning in the EPL QPR to defeat Norwich at $1.95

Leg 4: Also in the early hours of Sunday morning in the EPL Arsenal to defeat Stoke at $1.44

Leg 5: Finally it is Super Bowl weekend and it would not be a weekend multi without a Super Bowl bet for Monday morning and in that came I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the line against the Baltimore Ravens (+3.5 points) at $1.89.

All up this multi will return $15.10 (all odds from sportsbet.com.au).

Good luck and good punting.
