G'day folks,
Thought it was time to log in a couple of punts to boost the Xmas bank a bit!
Will combine some NBA and Ice Hockey on this first one for tomorrow: Milwalkee ($1.65)/New Jersey ($1.67)/LA Clippers ($1.25)/Dallas ($1.38 -/ (All NBA) into Nashville ($1.75) and Anaheim ($1.45) at $12.21 - $5 to win $61.05. Will take the same lot, except changing Nashville for Chicago in the hockey leg at $2.00 to make it a $13.85 for a $69.25 return for the $5 investment.
After investing that $10, will take $5 on two separate punts in the 4th Test: Warne's 700th wicket - Paul Collingwood at $8 (return $40) and Monty Panessar at $13 (return $65) - am working on the assumption with that last one that the quicks will tidy things up fairly quickly there.
Will lay a $5 on an EPL multi over the weekend: Fulham to beat West Ham at $2.10/Arsenal over Blackburn at $1.30 (this is a gift, whichever way you look at it)/Middlesborough to beat Charlton at $1.85 (ditto for a gift)/draw in Man City v Bolton at $3.15/Chelsea to beat Wigan at $1.40 - total odds: $22.28 for a $111.40 return. Will take the $5 on a draw in Man U/Aston Villa at the $3.55 on offer (return $17.75). Man U not travelling brilliantly of late, and Aston can clutter up the forward half enough to pinch split points in this one.
To give a long range punt - will throw in $5 each way on Lassie McTavish in the Magic Millions at the $101 on offer. Thought she got run off her feet early last week, but worked home stylishly to finish not too far from the placegetters. There looks a lot of improvement in the filly, and think she is well worth a little look at those odds.
Make it the round $50 with a Multi on the Interdominion finals for pacers at trotters - Flashing Red at $3.80 in the pacers and A Touch of Flair in the trotters at $2.50 at the $9.50 on offer - $10 invested to win $95.. These odds are luxury and jump on while they still last. Nothing will get past ATOF in the trotters, and only a bad draw in the final will stop F.R.
Total outlay: $50. Best of luck, folks and happy Christmas to all!
