    🔥 "Freo's Breaking Records & We're Chasing $5,000 — Punt Pals Are BACK"

    The boys are BACK in the studio and firing on all cylinders. After a week off and a hybrid episode that didn't quite hit the same, Robbie Von and Nick Ristovic are reunited and ready to roll for what shapes as one of the biggest weekends of the AFL season. Freo are breaking records, the Dreamtime clash has extra meaning this year, and the $1,000 to $5,000 challenge is officially underway — Robbie throws $250 on a four-game multi paying $3.22 that could take the kitty to over $1,600. It's bold, it's beautiful and it's very Punt Pals. The boys break down all the big Round 12 matchups, including a deeply emotional Queen's Birthday clash between Collingwood and Melbourne — dedicated to the great Neil Danaher, who passed away after a 27-month battle with MND. The Big Freeze tribute promises to be the most powerful yet, and the boys pay their respects before diving into their SGM picks. Robbie has four same game multis across the weekend — a five-legger on the Dreamtime clash at $7.90 featuring Zach Merrett, Adam Saad marks and Will Hayward fantasy points, plus plays on Freo v St Kilda, Collingwood v West Coast and GWS v Brisbane. All multis go up on the Instagram page so you can follow along in real time. Nick then wraps up with the Belmont Park racing rundown — the Racken Tour Stakes is the feature on Saturday with Ladies Pro at $3.60 shaping as the value play against red-hot favourite Hot and High, who's coming off five straight wins. Plus — if you're heading to the West Coast game at Optus on Saturday night, why not park at Belmont for free, back a winner and head over? Nick's plan and it's a bloody good one. This episode covers: The boys are back in the studio — hybrid pod is dead, long live the real thing$1,000 to $5,000 challenge begins — Robbie's $250 four-game multi at $3.22AFL Round 12 previews and same game multi tipsDreamtime game SGM — five legs at $7.90, Zach Merrett, marks and fantasy propsFreo v St Kilda, Collingwood v West Coast & GWS v Brisbane multisVale Neil Danaher — tribute to a legend ahead of the biggest Big Freeze everCollingwood v Melbourne Queen's Birthday previewBelmont Park racing — Racken Tour Stakes, Ladies Pro at $3.60 vs Hot and HighFree parking at Belmont before the West Coast Saturday night gameWhether you're a seasoned bettor, an AFL fanatic or a horse racing punter looking for an edge — Punt Pals is your go-to podcast for bettors every single week. 🎙️ New episodes every week | Spotify · Apple Podcasts · YouTube · Amazon Music 📲 Follow us: @PuntPalsPodcast #AFL #AFLRound12 #SameGameMulti #SGM #AFLBetting #PuntPals #PodcastForBettors #SportsPodcastAustralia #SportsBettingPodcast #BettingAdvicePodcast #FootballPodcast #WeeklySportsPodcast #DreamtimeAtTheMCG #BigFreeze #NeilDanaher #MND #BelmontPark #HorseRacing #QueensBirthday #GambleResponsibly

    🏎️ "Harley Reid's 50th, Kimi Antonelli's On Fire & The Multis Are LOADED"

    It's a different kind of week at Punt Pals HQ — Robbie Von and Nick Ristovic are doing things remotely, but the tips are still flowing and the multis are locked and loaded for another massive weekend of AFL and motorsport. Robbie kicks things off with four carefully constructed AFL same game multis across the big Round 11 matchups. First up it's the Dreamtime clash — Richmond v Essendon at the MCG, and as a long-suffering Bombers supporter, Robbie needs this one badly. He's also got plays on Fremantle v St Kilda, Collingwood v West Coast in what shapes as Harley Reid's legendary 50th game, and a juicy seven-legger paying $5 on the GWS v Brisbane Sunday clash featuring Clayton Oliver, Will Ashcroft and more. Then it's over to the Formula 1, where Robbie breaks down what's been a fascinating start to the new hybrid era. Kimi Antonelli — just 19 years old — has won three straight and leads the championship as the youngest ever points leader, while Mercedes have been utterly dominant. Robbie gives his picks for Canada including Antonelli, George Russell, Oscar Piastri for top three, Olly Behrman for best of the rest and Ferrari for the lead after lap one. Nick Ristovic then takes over with his AFL same game multis and horse racing tips for the weekend, including his usual sharp plays from the racing desk. This is the weekly sports betting podcast Australia keeps coming back to — honest punting chat, AFL tips, same game multi picks and motorsport analysis all wrapped up in one easy listen. No fluff, no filler, just two mates who love sport and a punt.

    THE $1,000 CHALLENGE IS DONE. Robbie Von and Nick Ristovic are back for Episode 91 of Punt Pals Podcast and mate, this one is pure celebration — the boys finally cracked the $100 to $1,000 challenge, and it was Luke Jackson and Fremantle who got them over the line in the most dramatic fashion possible. But they're not stopping there. A fresh $100 hits the table and the new challenge is on — this time with flights and accommodation to the AFL Grand Final in their sights. The dream is alive. On top of that, it's a massive weekend of footy and racing. Robbie and Nick break down all the key Round 10 AFL matchups, dish out their same game multi picks across multiple games — including a cracking goal kicker multi paying $16 across four games — and Nick goes deep on the Freo possession markets with some sharp disposal prop plays featuring Murphy Reid, Sammy Durham and Hayden Young. And it's Belmont launch weekend — Nick's $8 million renovated venue is finally open for business, with nine bars, a monster infield super screen and nine races on the card. He drops tips for the Doombin 10,000 (Jimmy Starr at $3 and Grafter Burners at $9), plus Western Front and Changing of the Guard in the Andrew Ramsden at Flemington — a race where the winner gets a direct Melbourne Cup ticket.
