Here are my tips for today’s racing:

Melbourne:

Race 6 Number 9 Bull Point

Race 7 Number 12 Earthquake

Sydney:

Race 7 Number 10 Appearance

Brisbane:

Race 5 Number 2 Casarati

These bets aside I have to say I am not massively enamoured with much more going around and will be limiting my exposure.

Shumpty’s Punt: WGC Accenture Match Play Round 1

February 19, 2014 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

It is time for one of my favourite golf tournament, the WGC Accenture Match Play. Whilst a number of world’s best players are not playing at this tournament, the spectre of match play golf adds to the excitement of watching the game.

It also presents an opportunity to have a wager on golf where one would not ordinarily because the results are, essentially, immediate.

In round 1 of the Match Play which will kick off just after midnight Thursday morning I like the following players to win and have put in a multi-bet to match:

Leg 1: Ian Poulter to defeat Ricky Fowler

Leg 2: Bubba Watson to defeat Mikko Iloven

Leg 3: Dustin Johnson to defeat Peter Hanson

Leg 4: Jim Furyk to defeat Chris Kirk

Leg 5: Luke Donald to defeat Matteo Manassero

Leg 6: Hunter Mahan to defeat Gonzalo Fernandez-Castro

Leg 7: Henrick Stenson to defeat Kiradeck Aphibarnarat

Leg 8: Stephen Gallacher to defeat Ernie Els

This multi will pay around the $35 mark for each dollar invested.

As always, please gamble responsibly.

Leg 2: Indiana Pacers to cover the line (-9.5 points) against the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.

Leg 3: Villanova to cover the line (-5 points) against Providence in the NCAA Mens.

Leg 4: Kentucky to cover the line (-4.5 points) against Mississippi in the NCAA Mens.

Leg 5: Orlando Magic to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks by between 1 – 10 points in the NBA.

Shumpty’s Punt: Super Rugby Round 1 multi

February 15, 2014 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

For something new this season I have decided to put my money where my mouth is and back my tips published on pinkrugby.com each week in the form of a multi bet.

The rules of engagement will be simple: I will back exactly the teams I have selected in the preview each well and the wager each week will be $50.  Rather an muck around with margins and the like I will simply be backing the team I select in each game to be the winner.  i will keep a rolling tally of the profit from this enterprise on this blog each week.

This week is a short round of matches with only 4 teams in play.

I have selected the Cheetahs and the Sharks to be victorious tonight and as both are short price favourites the payout will only be $1.63 but still any return is a good return.

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