A lucky bet is something we all would like. Too bad you don’t know if it’s a lucky bet until the fat lady sings. Or the match is over, whichever comes first.  :tongue_out:

Naturally before making the bet I asked Fortuna, our very own Lady Luck as to whether or not I should place a bet. You can read all about how Fortuna does this on my Lady Luck page.When asked about placing the sports bet this week Lady Luck pointed to Sportingbet Being a Sportingbet member means that I’ve got the all clear for placing the bet.

So, Fortuna has given me the go ahead, now I just need to work out where to put my money. I decided on the Adelaide United Vs Central Coast Mariners game. Even though I didn’t place a bet last week I decided I’d stick to my $10 bet. I also decided to use Bet365 as my online broker seeing as how I still have some free bets owing me.

Lucky Bet Adelaide United vs Central Coast Mariners

Of course you guys, those of you who stop by to read my posts that is, know that I know absolutely nothing about soccer. Yeah, I said soccer. Football for us Aussies refers to the AFL! Normally I don’t even watch soccer matches because I find them a little boring. Sorry to all the soccer fans out there but soccer just doesn’t offer that excitement factor that I crave for when it comes to sport.

That is of course unless I place a small wager on a game. That small bet makes all the difference. Even if it doesn’t turn out to be a lucky bet.

As you can see from the image above I place five bucks on Adelaide to win and another five bucks on Sergio Olivare Cirio to kick the first goal. My research shows that Cirio has a pretty good record for kicking goals and so I figured I’d put some money on him.

Now all I have to do is to wait for Sunday to see if Lady Luck was really smiling on my and my sports wager turns out to be a lucky bet.

What about you guys? Are you going to place a lucky bet this week? If so, what on?
