Fortuna's AFL Round 8 results 2016

Looks like Fortuna had a bad week this week with AFL Round 8 Results 2016. Then again 5 out of 9 isn’t all that bad, a lot better than 4 out of 9 :tongue_out: That brings her running total for the 2016 AFL season to 50! How does that compare to your running total? Let me know in the comments.

Now, lets look at some of those losing games.

Adelaide vs Geelong Debacle

Most punters would agree that this match could have gone either way. All I can say is that the Crows were very lucky that Geelong missed so many goals otherwise the results would have been embarrassing. Because of Geelong’s poor scoring performance the Crows actually had a shot of winning this game if only they didn’t turn the ball over so bloody often.

Oh well, at least their scoring shots were a lot more accurate. Now all they have to do is to get the ball into their 50 more often and convert them to goals.

Richmond vs Sydney

Richmond beat Sydney! Really? That’s the thing about AFL, you just never know how a match is going to turn out. That’s why one should never bet more than they can afford to lost. Still, most would have found it to be a thrilling game, especially if they had a small wager on it. 🙂 The Daily Telegraph had an interesting take on the Richmond vs Sydney game, saying it was a worrying sign against this weeks clash against the Hawks.

The real highlight to the AFL Round 8 Results 2016 was that Port Power let Carlton beat them. At least their loss helped keep the Crows in the 8. Must hurt the Port Power fans having their team lose a game which by all rights they should have won.

Now that the AFL Round 8 Results 2016 is behind us it’s time to look at what round 9 has in stall for us. Hopefully Fortuna will do better this week.

Fortuna's AFL Round 7 2016 Results

Once again Fortuna got 6 of the 9 matches in her AFL Round 7 2016 Results. Unfortunately for me I lost my Multi_Bet with Sportsbet getting 3 of the 5 legs wrong. You can see my multi-bet picks here. Yep, I picked all of Fortuna’s wrong picks. How bad is that  :bash:  Oh well there’s always next week.

So far this season Fortuna’s running total stands at 45 which i reckon is pretty darn good!

Let’s have a quick look at the failures in Fortuna’s AFL Round 7 2016 Results.

Collingwood vs Carlton Fiasco

This is one of those matches where I was sure Collingwood would beat Carlton. Looking at the odds I reckon a lot of punters thought the same way about it too. As it turns out it went Carlton’s way and Collingwood was left licking their wounds.

Gold Coast vs Melbourne

Perhaps I shouldn’t have picked this game because it was one of those matches that could have gone either way. The Age had a pretty good review of the match likening the Suns going missing in the Bermuda Triangle.

Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide Crows

This is the game that really pissed me off. By then it’s not like it cost me the bet or anything. :dunno: According to the Age it “The two most telling figures were 37-68 for inside 50s and a mystifying 11-28 for free kicks. For me it was the Umpires lack of being fair with the free kicks that caused the Crows to lose that game. It’s not so much all the free kicks they awarded the Dogs, some which were absolute bullshit, as the ones that were not rightfully awarded to the Crows.

I’m not the only one that’s unhappy with the free kick situation either. Don Pyke, the Crows coach, was upset enough to ask for an official please explain from AFL headquarters.

I’m proud of the way the boys played that day. It must have been demoralising to have so many free kicks awarded against them and so few paid that they knew were there. Even so they kept at it making the Bulldogs and the Blind umpires work for their keep.

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.
