Bet On Hawks To Beat Port Power

Last week I wrote a post on how I bet on the Crows to beat Collingwood!  Everybody said I was crazy and that they didn’t stand a chance in hell. I didn’t care, I had a gut feeling. Besides, Collingwood weren’t paying much so it wasn’t really work p;acing a bet on them. As it turns out the Adelaide Crows won and my bet365 kitty is slowly starting to grow. This week I’m taking another chance because I bet on Hawks to win.

Today Port Power is playing Hawthorn. Port Power’s playing at home and so they are the favourites. Not to mention that they are on the top of the ladder and have been playing very well.

The Hawks are third on the ladder but are sporting some injuries. having said that some of the young players have stepped up. Also, if you consider that the Hawks have won six of their past seven against the Power, including three of their last four matches in Adelaide, I reckon they actually have a good chance. Check out the Hawks full match preview.

As for the Power, they’ve just come off a bye so one would assume they’d be fit and raring to go. Even so this Power vs Hawks review show they’re not about to take the Hawks lightly. They know they’re fighting the reigning premiers who are not about to lie down and give them an easy win.

I was at work today when I checked my bet365 app during my break and noticed their odds were 2.65. It only took seconds to bet on Hawks to win. I’m not a big gamble so I only placed a $10 wager on them to win. If they do win it will net me $26.50! Now I just have to sit back with a couple of beers and, hopefully, watch the Hawks turn the Power’s light off.

I’ll be updating this post sometime after the match with the match results.

Shit, I can’t believe I lost that bet. I was sure the Hawks would beat Port Power. Oh well, you can’t win them all.

A Bet On Crows To Win

Last week I wrote a post introducing you guys to bet365. You may have read that post, if not you should read my bet365 review. In that post I happened to mention that I placed a bet on the Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood match. That alone wasn’t enough to cause a stir, but the fact that I bet on Crows to win did.

I have to admit that was a very exiting game. The fact that I placed a few bucks on them to win not only made the game even more exiting, it made the win a whole lot sweeter. Before I get to how I placed that bet on Crows to win let’s take a little look at the scores during the game.

ADELAIDE             1.4    5.6    9.10   10.16    (76) 

COLLINGWOOD    3.3    6.6    7.8     7.13     (55)      

As you can see, even though the Crows were the first to score it wasn’t until the third quarter that they finally started to get their act together. Even though they were 14 points up at the end of the third quarter, knowing how they’ve been known to fade out in the last quarter, I didn’t think it was enough to get them over the line. But, get over the line they did.

Speaking of the third quarter, I well remember in the dying seconds of the game I was yelling at Jenkins to hurry up and kick the bloody ball before the siren went. As it was the roar from the crowd was so loud I couldn’t hear the siren anyway. Apparently nobody else could either. Even though Eddie McGuire, Collingwood’s president had his knickers in a know saying the Crows kicked it after the siren the time keeper was adamant they it was actually kicked before the siren, as reported in the Herald Sun!

GOALS

Adelaide: Jenkins 4, Douglas 2, Jaensch, Podsiadly, Cameron, Betts

Collingwood: Lumumba, Pendlebury, Beams, Blair, Swan, Cloke, White

Bet On Crows To Win

OK, back to business! How I bet on Crows to win. Even though I was at home I decided to place the bet using the bet365 app to see exactly how it worked. It was a cinch. From the home screen I clicked on the Australian Rules icon. Then on the AFL – Round 9 lines/Game Lines. Once in the game lines I clicked on the To Win Icon. Then I simply click on Adelaide to win and place my $10 bet.

Before writing the post today I wen back to the app and clicked on History to bring up my settled bets for last week. You can see my $10 bet/stake in the image below. I now have $216 in my betting account ready for the coming rounds of football.

If you haven’t joined bet365 yet, don’t forget the the 100% bonus bet365 are offering all new members. A hundred bucks of that $216 is my gift from the sporting guys at bet365 for depositing $100. If you haven’t joined yet now would be a good time before they cancel the deal.

Bet365 Review Why I Joined Bet365

Last month I wrote a review on Sportingbet so I thought it was about time that I sourced another online sports betting site. I thought that this time I would go for a international sports betting agency. I decided to join Bet365! Why? Who knows, maybe it had something to do with seeing the commercial on TV. Or maybe I saw some of their promotional material while watching one of my favourite AFL games. Whatever it was I did a bit of research and decided to give them a go.

Speaking of their TV commercial, I found it on YouTube and have posted it here for you.

Whenever I choose to join an online site, whether it be to buy lottery tickets, or to bet on sports I look for one that is 100% legitimate. Like William Hill, which I mentioned in a previous post, it has to have some history. It can’t be a fly by night agency which is here today and gone tomorrow.

The fact that Bet365 is on national TV speaks volumes. What is even better is that they are licensed and regulated by Australia’s Northern Territory Government. Now you can’t get more secure than that.

bet365 online sports betting agencySomething else I looked for is a online sports betting agency that offers some popular ways of depositing money for placing sports bets as well as for transferring my winnings. As you can see from the image on the right it has that aspect covered. Like Sportingbet bet365 accepts PayPal. Unlike SportingBet, amongst other payment methods like Skrill it also offers NETELLER! This was a big plus for me because I love the security offered by Neteller as well as its many other features. Stay tune for a future post on the benefits of being a member of Neteller.

One of the benefits of being able to use an online sports betting agency is being able to place bets online no matter where you are. Having an online sports betting app makes placing a bet online so much easier. Bet365 offers such an app which was a big positive as far as I was concerned.

Another big plus was that they are currently offering new members a 100% bonus on any deposit up to $200! (Does not apply to certain states in Australia)I figured what the heck, signed up and deposited $100 using my Neteller account. It all worked a dream. With my welcoming email I received a code and instructions on what to do to claim my bonus. Within minutes my account went from $100 to $200!

I also liked that bet365 is committed to responsible gambling including a link to www.gamblinghelponline.org.au in the email. This was also apparent when setting up my account as it allowed me to set limits, as low as $20 per week. I set it for $100 so I could make the initial deposit but I’ll be changing it to $20.

Something else that I liked about bet365 is they offer so much more than online sport betting. As a member you also have access to poker, casino, games, and bingo, not to mention their live video streams for many sporting events. This means you can watch sporting events live even when it’s not on TV. Bet365 also offers an on-course bookmaking service.

Even though I was used to the Sportingbet app it didn’t take me long to come to grips with the bet365 app. That was very important for me because I hate having to work things out.

So, what was my first bet? I bet ten bucks on the Crows to beat Collingwood this Thursday night. The odds were 2.60 for a win so if they get manage to actually win my $10 wager will return $26. Go the Crows 😉

Like always, if there’s ever anything you want to know just leave a comment and I’ll do my best to give a meaningful reply.

Edit: As of this week Bet365 have decided to cull a lot of their affiliates. Unfortunately I was in that group. As they no longer support me I can no longer support them. I’m in the process of finding another reliable online sports betting site. When I do I will let you know.
