July 19, 2013 By in Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

A very unsuccessful weekend on the punt with only one collect however I have run the ruler over the form lines again this weekend and have come up with another 4 leg multi that I think is looking the goods as well as four bets on the horses for the weekend. As always: please bet responsibly and only gamble what you can afford to spend. All odds are courtsey of sportsbet.com.au.

Horse Racing:

Flemington Race 7: Number 1 Broken (each way) ($8.50/$2.70)

Rosehill Race 6: Number 1 Mic Mac (win) ($5.50)

Eagle Farm Race 3: Number 1 Double Impact (each way) ($7.00/2.15)

Eagle Farm Race 7: Number 5 Shafeeq (each way) ($5.00/$1.90)

Sports Multi:

Leg 1: Detriot Tigers to defeat the Kansas City Royals in the MLB ($1.70)

Leg 2: Collingwood to defeat the Gold Coast Suns by 40 or more points in the AFL ($2.40)

Leg 3: Canberra Raiders to defeat the Parramatta Eels by more than 13 points in the NRL ($1.45)

Leg 4: Brumbies to defeat the Cheetahs covering the line (-8.5 points) in the Super Rugby ($1.92)

This multi will return $11.35 for every dollar expended.

Have a great weekend watching the plethora of sport that is on offer. Enjoy!

Another weekend means another festivus of sports and punting. This weekend I have a four leg multi that I am particularly keen on as well as a couple of horses that I think have the potential to run well. As always: gamble responsibly, whilst I take all care with these tips I take no responsibility if they are unsuccessful and prices are accurate from Sportsbet.com.au at the time of posting.

Horse Racing

Brisbane Race 3 Number 5 Thefifthole (each way) ($6.50 / $2.30)

Melbourne Race 6 Number 9 Happy Galaxy (win) ($3.50)

Sydney Race 2 Number 4 Short Shift (win) ($2.10)

Sports Multi

Leg 1: Chiefs to cover the line (-6.5 points) against the Blues in Super Rugby at $1.92

Leg 2: Reds to cover the line (+2.5 points) against the Waratahs in Super Rugby at $1.92

Leg 3: Essendon to defeat the Western Bulloggs by 40 or more points in the AFL at $1.86

Leg 4: Manly to cover the line (-7.5 points) against North Queensland in NRL at $1.90

This multi will return $13.02 for every dollar invested and in the interests of full disclosure I have wagered $25 on this multi.

Good luck and good punting everyone! Bring on the sport!

Shumpty’s Punt: 22 / 23 June 2013

I know I said that I was hanging up the punting boots after a run of multi bets that had, simply put, done my head in and been rendered nugatory in the first leg. I have given some thought to having a couple of bets this weekend for the first time in a while and have come up with a couple of bets at Eagle Farm and a 4 leg multi that I reckon are well placed to get punters a return.

Horse Racing

Eagle Farm Race 6: Rothera

Eagle Farm Race 7: Red Tracer

Sports Multi

Leg 1: New Zealand All Blacks to cover the line (-19.5 points) against France at $1.90.

Leg 2: Canberra Raiders to cover the line (-8.0 points) against Wests Tigers at $1.92.

Leg 3: British and Irish Lions to cover the line (-3.5 points) against Australia at $1.92.

Leg 4: Fremantle Dockers to defeat North Melbourne with the margin 1 – 39 points at $2.00.

This multi will pay $14.00 for every dollar invested.

I am aware that I am betting against the Wallabies here and it goes against everything my heart is saying but, as I wrote yesterday, I think the Wallabies are massively underdone for this test match.

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

The first weekend of the Brisbane Winter Carnival beckons tomorrow at Eagle Farm. It is always easy to tell: I had to go to three different newsagents before I could pick up my best bets this week and I have been asked by a staff member for some tips before she heads to the track.

I have had a look at the form and here are my selections for the day at the Farm:

Race 1: I’m Cool (Number 10) each way.

Race 2: Hooked (Number 3)

Race 3: Purfectress (Number 5)

Race 4: Dusty Gold (Number 6) each way.

Race 5: Lucky Lucky Lucky (Number 9) each way.

Race 6: Quintessential (Number 3)

Race 7: Buffering (Number 1) Best Bet of the Day

Race 8: Mishani Warrior (Number 12) Bit of value in the last for the “Get Out Stakes”. each way.

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!
