Crows Win The Sunday Showdown

Crows Win First Showdown Since 2012

People said I was crazy to back the Adelaide Crows. They said that there was no way in hell that there would be an Adelaide Crows win today. But the Crows proved them all wrong and I showed them all that I was right to back the Adelaide Crows.

Adelaide Crows Win Showdown

If you remember in my last Bet Of The Week post I put money on a Crows win. Just to make things more interesting I split my bets. As you can see from the image above, if the Crows had scored just two more points I would have gotten 4 out of 4, not including the Central Districts bet. Man, you should have heard me egging the boys on in those last few minutes to try motivate them to get those extra two points. Yeah, as if they could hear me from the lounge room 😀

Check out the AFL site bet365 for Crows winto get all the match results. Suffice it to say that the Crows finally broke the Showdown drought and put themselves in contention again for a spot in the top eight.

Did I not mention in that last post that there were a few things that was present in this particular Showdown that would motivate a Crows Win!! Man, I love it when I am right.

If you remember, when I first joined bet365 I took them up on their “Up to $200 dollar deposit bonus. I deposited $100 and them matched my deposit. This win has now increased my betting pool to $212.50, even after my previous losses. Sure I could have won a lot more if I put more money on them, but that would have broken one of my important gamble responsibly rules. Only bet what you can afford to lose. This way I can enjoy my sports bets even when my sports bet does not come in.

So, who among you had the balls to back the Crows? Did having placed a bet on a Crows win make the game more exiting for you, as it did for me? Don’t be shy. Leave a comment to tell me how you went for your bet of the week. It doesn’t necessarily have to be on this game. Any sporting event that paid off for you would be fine.

 

Showdown Sunday Bet Of The Week

Yep, it’s going to be another Showdown this Sunday and what better game to feature this weeks bet of the week. For those of you who don’t know, every time the Crows play Port Power it’s called a Showdown. I have to admit the Crows haven’t been playing well of late and the Power has. Also the Power have won the last few showdowns But even though it looks bad for the Crows, I’m still putting my money on them.

Showdown Sunday For The Crows

You’re probably wondering what I’m doing backing the Adelaide Crows to win this weeks Showdown. I could say I had a gut feeling, at least I could use indigestion as an excuse when or if they lose. 😀Showdown Sunday

The fact that David Mackay will not be playing this week, being concussed from last weeks game against Essendon, will make winning that much harder But shit, miracles happen right.

Plus there is the fact that it’s an Adelaide Crows home game, giving us the home advantage. You have to admit, the guys are going to need all the help they can get. You’d hope that they would realise that a loss would almost kill any chance of getting into the top eight as well. Maybe that will be enough to fire them up so they actually win this Showdown.

I know they have it in them to win. They just have to believe in themselves enough to carry them over the line.

As you can see from the image on the right I’ve gone with bet365 for this weeks wager. Not as colourful as the Sportingbet app but every bit as functional.

Just to make things interesting I decided to split the way I spent my ten bucks this week.

Adelaide by 25+: I placed a buck for Adelaide to win by more than 25 points. Yeah, I know I’m dreaming. But, if it becomes a reality I’ll win $9.

Adelaide by 16+: Just hedging my bets, so in case they win my more than 16 points I’ll win $6. Of course if they get more than 25 points both bets will win.

Adelaide by 1-24: I’m thinking this means I win if they’re win falls into the 1-24 points range. Hopefully they’ll do that so I can see how this works. 😉

The second to last one is a $5 bet for a win. C’mon guys, you know you can do it!!!

The last one. Well, that has nothing to do with the Showdown. You see, I also happen to support Central Districts in the SANFL and I’m hoping they’ll kick the Redlegs ass. 😉

Did you notice the ‘Cash Out’ option that appears at the bottom of each of my bets. I wasn’t sure what the hell that was so I just had to find out. It seems to be special feature for bet365 members.

bet365 Cash Out Option

The Cash Out feature gives you more control over your bets and allows you to take a return before the event has started.

Traditionally, once your bet has been placed you would have to sit back and wait for it to be settled. With our new feature you now have the opportunity to monitor your selections and Cash Out at a point of your choice.

The amount offered will be dependent on how your bet is progressing and could be of a higher or lower value than your original stake. This allows you to take a profit if your bet is doing well, or minimise any potential loss should you think any upcoming selections are unlikely to result in a win.

Cash Out is available on selected pre-match markets on single and multiple bets, for a variety of sports including Australian Rules Football, Soccer, Tennis and Basketball.

How to Cash Out 

Bets that are eligible for Cash Out will display in the My Bets section of your Bet Slip – and using Cash Out could not be easier.

Simply place your single or multiple bet, then monitor the My Bets section of your Bet Slip to see the amount being offered to Cash Out early. Should you decide to take this option all you need to do is click on the Cash Out button located beneath your selections.

The amount at which you decide to Cash Out is then fixed, the bet is settled and the final result relating to your bet will have no impact on the amount returned to your account.

Now you now this weeks bet of the week and what the bet365 Cash Out option is all about. Who are you placing your bet on this week?

Oh, before you go, did you see my latest Hot Sport Babes post. It’s sort of AO and NSFW type of post but I kind of like it 🙂

 

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.
