There are some of Fortuna’s picks that are paying pretty well and so I decided to place ten bucks on Sydney to beat Hawthorn. I went with Sportsbet partly because they had the best odds but mainly because when I was checking their odds I noticed they were offering a AFL Special Swans vs Hawks Cash Back Offer! This is where you can place up to $50 on a head to head bet and as long as they lead in at least one quarter you get your money back if they lose! I figured shit, Sydney should win this game and even if they lost I’m sure they would lead in at least one quarter right? Let’s hope so.

Naturally I’m still waiting to win Sportsbet’s Million Dollar Tipping competition. Also, because I’m also tipping on the NRL I’ve doubled my chances of getting my hand on that $10,000!   :tongue_out:

Oh, before I forget here’s proof of my Sportsbet bet.

Sports Betting Update:

Lost the Sydney vs Hawthorn bet but got my money back from Sportsbet because Sydney lead in at least one round. Figured as long as I still had the ten bucks on hand I’d place it on St Kilda to beat Melbourne. That game is definitely winnable and as long the win one quarter and lose I still get my money back. Leave a comment if you want proof of that bet 😉

 

AFL Round 16 Results 2016

Fortuna’s AFL Round 16 Results 2016 Not Too Bad

Fortuna's AFL Round 16 Results 2016

So how did you go with your AFL Round 16 Results? As you can see from the image above Fortuna’s AFL Round 16 Results was pretty good. Heck, who would have thought that Sydney would beat Geelong or that Collingwood would beat the Giants. Talk about a couple of upsets.

Unfortunately both those games were part of my Multi-Bet which means this weeks bet was a losing one. Of the four legs in my multibet, see last weeks post, those were the two games that I thought were sure to pay off. Still, that’s what makes the AFL so interesting, you just never know who is going to win.

Remember, its the uncertainty about AFL results that makes it so important that you gamble responsibly. It’s why I only bet as much as I can afford to lose. Anything else would make online sports betting too stressful and take all the fun out of it.

On the plus side, those two losses were fantastic for the Crows. Because of those losses and the Crows giving Carlton a hiding it puts the Crows into third position on the ladder.

Who would of thought they would be in such a good position with a new coach and losing Dangerfield. Personally, I reckon losing Dangerfield was a good thing for the Crows. It’s made them more unified as a team whereas before they were probably relying on him a little too much.

OK, that’s it for now, at least until Fortuna comes up with her Round 17 AFL tips.

 

Round 6 2016 AFL Results

Fortuna’s Round 6 2016 AFL Results

Round 6 2016 AFL ResultsFortuna’s Round 6 2016 AFL Results wasn’t all that bad getting only 3 out of the 9 wrong. That’s the thing when betting on the AFL, or any other sport for that matter. You just never know what the outcome is going to be. That’s why its so important to gamble responsibly.

As for my Sportsbet Multibet, it was absolutely one of the worst multi bets I’ve ever placed. You can see my multi-bet picks here. You’ll notice that I only got 2 of my five picks right. Of those the two that I found surprising was the Richmond vs Port Adelaide and the GWS Giants vs Hawthorne games. I should know better than to back a Port Power game. I’m sure they won that game just to piss me off  :RLOL:

This week wasn’t a total loss though. It did have two major highlights. The first was that the Crows managed to beat Fremantle. This puts the Crows in the seventh position, 4 spots above Port Power. Being above Port Power is always a good thing.  :tongue_out:

The other highlight was the Adelaide City win against Western Sydney Wanderers. To me it was a sweet victory because most of the commentators were so biased saying that it would be a definite Western Sydney Wanders win!

Instead, after 13 long years, Adelaide City United won their first final becoming the A-League Champions. I was so thrilled for them, especially as they started so badly at the beginning of the season.

As far as my Multi-Bet loss it wasn’t that bad because as I’ve said before the way I place my multi-bets I’ve always g0t something back. This is because I always place a dollar on each of the 5 legs and the remaining $5 goes on the multi-bet itself. That way even though my Multi-bet loses my winning legs of the multi-bet still pays out. This minimises the loss and means my sports betting bankroll lasts that much longer,

What do you do to make your sports betting bankroll last longer.
