Shumpty’s Punt: Friday Fancy

November 8, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

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

November 7, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

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.

Leg 6: Portland Trailblazers to cover the line (-2.0 points) against the Houston Rockets in the NBA.

Shumpty’s Punt: Melbourne Cup 2013

November 4, 2013 By in Shumpty Speaks Tags: , , , Leave a comment

It is time for the race that stops the nation tomorrow. Every year I say to myself that I am not going to bet on the Cup as I have always found tipping in this race akin to throwing a dart at a dart board. This year though I have followed the fortunes of one horse all the way to this race and thus I am confident to tip the horse is as the horse I think will be the winner. I have also come up with a “mega” boxed first four that I am quietly confident in.

Shumpty’s Melbourne Cup Tip: Foreteller (Number 7)

Shumpty’ Melbourne Cup Mega First 4

Dunaden (Number 1)
Sea Moon (Number 4)
Brown Panther (Number 5)
Fiorente (Number 6)
Foreteller (Number 7)
Dandino (Number 8)
Hawkspur (Number 18)
Simenon (Number 19)
Verema (Number 21)

Box them all up and you just might get a good return.

As always: good luck and good punting.
