Shumpty’s Punt: the weekend multi and a couple of horses to follow

After a woeful run on form, the Shumpty’s Punt weekend multi is back this weekend and I hope that the multi to follow will come in and lead to a return for followers. This weekend’s multi is a 7 legger and mixes up some American sport with some fixtures in the Big Bash League in Australia.

As always: all odds are from sportsbet.com.au

Leg 1: Melbourne Stars to defeat the Melbourne Renegades in the BBL tonight. ($1.52)

Leg 2: Connecticut Huskies to cover the line (-9.0 points) against the Harvard Crimson in NCAA Mens Basketball tomorrow morning. ($1.90)

Leg 3: Atlanta Hawks to cover the line (-9.0 points) against the Washington Wizards in the NBA tomorrow morning. ($1.92)

Leg 4: Brooklyn Nets to cover the line (-5.5 points) against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA also tomorrow morning. ($1.92)

Leg 5: Sydney Sixers to defeat the Sydney Thunder in the BBL Saturday night. ($1.52)

Leg 6: Washington Redskins to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL in the early hours of Monday morning. ($1.92)

Leg 7: Atlanta Falcons to cover the line (-3.0 points) against the Carolina Panthers in the NFL also in the early hours of Monday morning.

This 7 legger will return $56.86 for every dollar spent so for punters out there is might be worth a little nibble.

Horse racing tomorrow in Brisbane at Eagle Farm and I have couple of each way chances I will be putting my hard earned on:

BR 3:Horse 10 Business Day

BR 4:Horse 1 Playaction

That will do me on the horses for the weekend unless I find something in the southern states that I really fancy tomorrow morning. I will post those tips here if I do come up with any.

Good luck and good punting all.

Shumpty’s Punt: some Saturday bets

November 24, 2012 By in Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , Leave a comment

It has been a bit of a barren spell on the punt on this blog and frankly that has been a combination of not having much spare time to do the form and really think about my bets and not being able to pick my nose when it comes to a winner.

This week (and particularly last night as I watch the highlights of today’s play at the Adelaide Oval) I have had more of a chance to think about some bets for this week.

Here is where I think there might be some winners over the rest of the weekend and where I will be investing my hard earned cash.

Racing

Eagle Farm:

Best win bet:                      Race 2 Number 4 Jugahlation

Best each way bet:            Race 6 Number 16 Soft Angel

Sydney:

Best bet:                               Race 7 Number 11 Our Design

Sports 

I will be looking at a small multi this weekend made up of the 4 legs (all odds are from sportsbet.com.au and are as at the time of writing):

Leg 1: Everton to defeat Norwich at home in the EPL ($1.44)

Leg 2: Stoke to defeat Fulham at home in the EPL ($2.20)

Leg 3: Tennessee Titans to cover the line (-3.5) against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL ($1.90)

Leg 4: Denver Broncos to cover the line (-10.0) against the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL ($1.90)

These four legs combined will pay a tidy $11.44.  Here’s hoping come Monday morning (after the NFL games complete) followers are laughing their way to the bank.

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

Sneaky Tuesday Sportsbet

Just a short note this morning to tip you into a little sportbet that I think is easy money for punters today. I am tipping the San Francisco Giants to beat the St Louis Cardinals in game 7 of the NLCS in San Francisco this morning. They have all the momentum after winning the last two games of the series to stay alive in this best of 7 championship and with their ace Matt Cain returning after a loss in game three I expect them to get the job done. The fact is that Cain does not loose two games in a row often.

Second leg this morning sees the Chicago Bears cover the lines against the Detroit Lions in NFL Monday night football. This is an NFC North battle between the leading Bears and the cellar dwelling Lions. The Bears possess a mix of league leading defence and the confidence of being on a 3 game winning streak so I don’t expect them to be bested here.

Put together this bet will pay $3.30ish. Good luck if you get on.
