Shumpty’s Punt: Best Bet 17/12/13

The St Louis Blues travel to Ottawa to take on the Senators in the NHL today in would should be an entertaining game between two of the more enterprising teams in the league. The Blues (22-6-3) possess an offence that ranks among the best in hockey this year with 3.45 goals per game. They have scored at least two goals in all but one game this season. The Senators (13-15-6) welcome back defenseman Jared Cowen who was suspended for the last two games. They missed him on Saturday during a 5-2 loss to Los Angeles where they fell behind 3-0 in the first 12 minutes of the game.

All in all, I think the Blues will have too much scoring power for the Senators in this game and will cover the line of -1.5 goals.

Best Bet: St Louis Blues to cover the line against the Ottawa Senators in the NHL.
Odds: $3.30 (courtesy of sportingbet.com.au)

As always, good luck and good punting!

After a couple of days away from the multi punting, it time to have another crack at getting an American sports multi up this week. I have been falling at the final hurdle too often to not jag one shortly and if you don’t keep trying at something you will never succeed.

So here is today’s multi:

Leg 1: Maryland to cover the line (+10.0 points) against Ohio State in NCAA Basketball.

Leg 2: Los Angeles Clippers to cover the line (-3.5 points) against the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.

Leg 3: Detroit Red Wings to defeat the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL.

Leg 4: Utah Jazz to cover the line (+8.5 points) against the Indiana Pacers in the NBA.

This multi should pay around $12 per dollar invested.

As always please gamble responsibly.

Another day, another crap result on the multi yesterday. Always seem to be one leg away but then fall at the second to last or last hurdle. It is Sunday night in the US and that means it is a massive night of sport. Here is my multi across all three codes in the US.

Leg 1: Dallas Stars to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL.

Leg 2: New York Giants to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the Washington Redskins in the NFL.

Leg 3: Portland Trailblazers to cover the line (-3.0 points0 against the LA Lakers in the NBA.

This multi should pay just over $10 for each dollar invested.

As always: please gamble responsibly.
