Shumpty’s Punt: Wednesday Wager

February 12, 2014 By in Shumpty Speaks Tags: , , Leave a comment

With the Winter Olympics on in Sochi we are not really spoilt for choice when it comes to US sport at the moment. This week’s Wednesday Wager is all about the NBA and will pay just over $20 for every dollar invested.

Leg 1: Cleveland Cavaliers to defeat the Sacramento Kings.

Leg 2: Dallas Mavericks to cover the line (-3.5 points) against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Leg 3: Chicago Bulls to defeat the Atlanta Hawks by between 1 – 10 points.

Leg 4: Miami Heat to cover the line (-3.5 points) against the Phoenix Suns.

Another bet that might be worth having today, indeed probably the best bet of the day, is to wager that Kevin Durant will be the highest points scorer from today’s games.

As always, good luck and good punting. Please gamble responsibly.

Shumpty’s Punt: Mega Weekend Multi

January 10, 2014 By in Shumpty Speaks, Shumpty's Punt Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

It is a massive weekend of sport worldwide and, as I have had a ton of time on my hands this week with being on leave, I have come up with a multi bet the traverse basketball, ice hockey, soccer and American football.

Multi:

Leg 1: Dallas Mavericks to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA.

Leg 2: Pittsburgh Penguins to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL.

Leg 3: Chelsea to defeat Hull City in the EPL.

Leg 4: Everton to defeat Norwich in the EPL.

Leg 5: Seattle Seahawks to cover the line (-8.0 points) against the New Orleans Saints in the NFL.

Leg 6: Denver Broncos to defeat the San Diego Chargers in the NFL.

This multi should pay around the $30 mark for each dollar invested.

Best Bet:

If you are not keen to go as wide as a six leg multi, my best bet of the weekend is in leg 2.  The Pittburgh Penguins has been in awesome form on its current tour of Canada and come up against the worst defensive team in the competition on Saturday (Australian time) against the Edmonton Oilers.  They should cover the line (-1.5 points) easily and at $2.65 that is my best of the weekend’s sport.

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