The Epsom and Turnbull Stakes Day: Best Bets

October 4, 2014 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

Spring Carnival racing kicks off today with Turnbull Stakes day at Flemington and the Epsom at Randwick.  There are some great races on today however I am limiting my investments to the two big races.

Turnbull Stakes: I am going for some value (I concede $6 is not great value for some but it is for me!) in this race and I think there is no better value today than Happy Trails (No 2) in a race this horse won last year.  Despite carrying weight I think this race sets up well with the distance and track suiting.

The Epsom: Can not go past Royal Descent (No 2) in this race.  Has been runner up in all three starts this preparation.  Has the right trainer (Waller) and the right jockey (Bowman) and should be perfect prepared for this race.

Good luck if you are having a punt today.  As always:

Shumpty’s Punt: MLB Post Season (AL Wildcard Playoff)

October 1, 2014 By in Shumpty Speaks Tags: , , , Leave a comment

After 162 games, Major League Baseball is now into the post season which kicks off in Kansas City for the American League Wild Card Playoff between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics. This should be a great playoff with two pitching aces, Shields and Lester, on the mound.

I am backing the Royals in this playoff: it is has been 23 years since they have been to the post season and, playing at home, will ride a massive wave of support.

Bet: Kansas City Royals to defeat the Oakland Athletics paying $1.91 (on ladbrokes.com.au at the time of writing).

We are in the last week of Major League Baseball regular play and the post season line ups are taking shape.  There are some excellent games on today and I think there is some value to be had for punters.  Here is a four leg multi arising from today’s fixtures:

Leg 1: Kansas City Royals to defeat the Cleveland Indians.

Leg 2: Washington Nationals to cover the line (-1.5 runs) against the New York Mets.

Leg 3: Cincinnati Reds to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers.

Leg 4: Detroit Tigers to cover the line (-1.5 runs) against the Chicago White Sox.

This multi will pay just a touch over $14 for every dollar invested.

As always: please gamble responsibly.

The Weekend Multi

It would be fair to say that I have been in barren form with getting a multi up on the weekend of late. Nonetheless, I have had a look at the form across a multitude of sports and have come up with this multi:

Leg 1: Sydney Swans to defeat the North Melbourne Kangaroos in the AFL.

Leg 2: Hawthorn Hawks to defeat Port Adelaide in the AFL.

Leg 3: Arsenal to defeat Aston Villa in the EPL.

Leg 4: Liverpool to defeat West Ham in the EPL.

Leg 5: Manchester United to defeat Leicester in the EPL.

Leg 6: Detroit Lions to cover the line (-2.5 points) against the Green Bay Packers in the NFL.

Leg 7: Baltimore Ravens to cover the line (-1.5 points) against the Cleveland Browns in the NFL.

Leg 8: Seattle Seahawks to cover the line (-5.0 points) against the Denver Broncos in the NFL.

This multi will pay almost $60 per dollar invested.

The Weekend Wager: Sport’s Multi

This is a brilliant time of year for sport and this weekend I am feeling particularly confident about this multi:

Leg 1: Geelong Cats to defeat North Melbourne Kangaroos by less than 40 points in the AFL.

Leg 2: New Zealand to cover the line (-8.5 points) against South Africa in the Rugby Championship. 

Leg 3: North Queensland Cowboys to cover the line (-6.5 points) against the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL.

Leg 4: Tennessee Titans to cover the line (-3.5 points) against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL.

Leg 5: Seattle Seahawks to cover the line (-5.5 points) against the San Diego Chargers in the NFL.

This multi should pay around the $28 mark.
