Lady Luck Winning Bet Adelaide United vs Central Coast Mariners

If you read my last post you will remember that I asked Lady Luck for advice as to whether or not I should place a bet on the Adelaide United vs Central Coast Mariners. Lady Luck gave me the go ahed and I placed my bet with Bet365! As you can see from the image below she was right giving me the first Lady Luck Winning Bet.

Lady Luck Winning Bet Increases Betting Account

As you can see I placed a bet on who would score the first goal as well as who would win the game. I got the first part of the bet wrong as Sergio Ciriodidn’t score the first goal. That honour went to Pablo Sanchez. Actually Sanchez scored both goals. The first one was a fantastic header which was only possible because of the perfect set up by Fabio Ferreira.

Even thoughI didn’t get both bets right I still consider it a Lady Luck Winning Bet because the return was greater than my initial outlay.And like the rest of you I love my winning bets. Especially when they’re usually too few and too far between.

I normally don’t watch soccer games because I don’t find them all that exiting. That is until I started placing a small bet on those games. It;’s amazing how a small wager can increase the excitement factor of almost any sport. Am I the only one to get more of a thrill from watching a game that I’ve placed a bet on? Feel free to share your experience in the comments below 😉

For a more in depth summary of the game you can head over to the A-League website. If you want to read Central Coast Mariners view point click on this link. If you’d rather read what Adelaide United had to say about their win then this is the link you should follow.

Even though Adelaide United were the favourite I reckon they did well considered they played away and they usually don’t play all that well

Did you watch the game? What did you think of it?

Getting The Best Odds

Getting The Best Odds Means Getting In Early

getting the best oddsUsually the way to get the best odds when placing a bet online is to place your bet as early as possible. Take for example the post I did on Betting On The AFL Finals. I posted that a little over a week ago. All the odds offered on SportingBet, as well as the other online bookies, have dropped. Some by as much as 50%.

As far as I know getting the best odds usually happens the further away from the outcome of any given match. I was talking about this with a workmate of mine and he says he places several of his bets at the beginning of the AFL season. A great bloke except for the fact that he’s a Port Power fan.

Speaking of Port Power you may well remember they were last weeks bet of the week. That was actually the post where I spoke a little about the history of the Crows and Power rivalry. You may well recall that I backed Port to win, but only because lately I’ve been losing my bets and I was hoping that placing a bet on them would bring them bad luck. Nope, as it turns out the Power was really switched on in that game and they won.That was never supposed to happen. Fremantle were the favourites and it’s been ages since they lost a home game.That bet on the Power was just to seal the deal.

Still, shit happens. Just about everyone I know was tipping Freo, but like I said in that post about sports betting tips, they’re absolute bullshit. You just never ever know who’s going to win any given game. That’s why we have so many upsets in sport. One last thing before getting to my bet of the week. You may well notice the odds changing the closer you get to the game. Usually getting the best odds means placing your bets as early as possible.

Bet Of The Week

This week Port Power is playing Hawthorne at the MCG. They shouldn’t win this game. Then again they should’ve lost against Fremantle as well. I just don’t have a choice. I have to back the Power again. Maybe this time my bet come good and Port will lose.  :tongue_out: Seeing as how bet365 was lucky for me last week I’m gonna give Sportingbet a go. Maybe they will pass on some bad vibes for all those louse Port Power fans.

Winning Sports Bet

Winning sports bets is probably the main reason why people bet on sports. More and more are doing it online because it’s so easy to do so. That and the fact that it gets rid of those long lines, the sometimes obnoxious sales person and the ease of placing a bet no matter where you are.

In my last bet of the week you’ll remember that I placed a bet on the Crows to beat the Brisbane Lions.

My Winning Sports Bet! Go The Crows

Just in case you missed the game you will notice by my winning sport ticket below that I have another winning sports bet. Yep, the Crows did us proud once again. It’s a shame that they haven’t been able to do that more often this season, but hey, that’s what makes sports betting so interesting. And also what makes those winning sports bets so special. Especially for me because to date my losing sports bets outweigh my winning sports bets.

I’m not worried though for the following three reasons.

  1. I’m new to sports betting so it’s only natural that winning sports bets will be hard to come by in the beginning.
  2. I’m a responsible gambler. That means that I never bet more than I can afford to lose. So when I do lose it doesn’t bother me, especially when the bet itself enhanced the experience I had watching the sport I placed a bet on.
  3. That brings me to my third point. While those winning sports bets are always welcome, my prime motive for online sports betting is to add that extra bit of excitement to love of sports. The best thing is that it doesn’t have to be a huge bet to increase the excitement factor either. Nope, it doesn’t even have to be a winning sports bet. Just the fact that I placed a bet is good enough.

Oh, for those of you who are interested I used Sportingbet to place that bet. It was a snatch. I even made a video, which I included it this post showing how easy it is to place a bet online. 

Have you got any winning sports bet that you’d like to tell us about? If so just leave a comment.
