My bet for the weekend was a five leg multi of victory by the NBA’s Thunder and Magic, into the English Super League Leeds Rhino’s, into the NBL Gold Coast Blaze and PGA 3-ball victory by Webb Simpson over Keegan Bradley and Aussie Jarod Lyle.

A good result for the team with all five legs saluting.

Updated visual of results for each punter so far:

I am out in front by a ways, but, my style of punting can easily be run down by Mick. Mick backs 15-1 / 20-1 horses, so one win by him would put him in front. I need consistent collects to keep winning.

This years punters club trip will be to a golfing trip to China. Very excited by this. I’ll post more info here over the coming weeks, but I’ll post the weekly update here.

After 3 bets by each of my clubmates and two bets by me, the winning % is below… A % of 100 means money back on bets laid.

Oh yeah! That’s me out in front at the moment. I’m following my regular strategy of multi-bet combination on short priced fav’s.

(PS…. I bet these posts really bring in the SPAM)

I’m up this weekend and I am taking a multi-bet of:

13 Nov 2010 12:05 NBA Phoenix Suns to beat the Sacramento Kings @ $1.27
13 Nov 2010 18:30 NRL Kangaroos to beat the Kiwis on Saturday in the Rugby League test match @ $1.30
15 Nov 2010 04:05 NFL Indianapolis Colts to beat the Cincinnati Bengals @ $1.30
15 Nov 2010 07:15 NFL New York Giants to beat the Dallas Cowboys @ $1.15

As a multi bet this is paying $2.46 at $20 it’s a collect of $49.36

kick it home kids!

As one last subtle reminder to Deano that he’s in the red at the moment..

Chris

Michael Cox, John Wall, Dean O’Byrne and I are off to the Presidents Cup in 2011. To help pay the way we’re going to try and punt our way to a profit between now and then to pay for the whole thing (note sarcastic optimism).

Over the coming months I’ll be posting information about the club over on the “Pine Rivers El Presedente Punters Page”

El Presedente!

Bet numero uno was that Mark Webber would have the fastest lap in the Brazilian F1. Not true unfortunately for Deano. We’re 0 from 1.

the other day I was messing around on the ‘puter and have found this site www.tripit.com. It’s pretty nifty, allowing you to send confirmation emails of travel arrangements to it and then it somehow sucks all the information out of the confirmation and places it in a neat itinerary! The itinerary can have maps, notes, lots of details and allows you to also reference sites like google maps, seat guru (for making sure you get the right seat on that long flight) and other nifty things like weather and the like. It’s v cool. Even cooler was that it has an ical feed, which lets you sync the content in your tripit itinerary with the calendar on the mac, BUT, even better is that that calender then syncs with the calender on my ipod! which means that our itinerary for our next US holiday need not be the massive document we had last time around! I’ll put a link to our itinerary in the blog soon.

our bet on the spurs and mavs got up! we’re on the improve – actually our balance has more than doubled since we started punting on doubles and if we’d been a bit more disciplined in the amounts we’d bet we could be going a lot better…. we’re still down on our starting position (JUST!) but we’re doing much better now that we’ve started punting on the doubles.

I’ve succumbed to another online trinket… twitter. silly name huh? it’s like an updater on what you are doing at any given point in time and for posting random thoughts. It’s in the right hand navigation, but I’ll probably get sick of it in a week or so and remove it in a couple of weeks. i need to try these things for my job though, huh?!

oh well – time to get ready for work. have a great day!

coxy and I have been working on a doubles betting “scheme” – can you really call donating money to centre bet a scheme? (it’s not tax deductible)

Today’s bet is in the NBA…. We’re taking the Spurs into the Mavericks, 40% of the balance ($186), for a possible collect of 234. Go teams!
