Bet Of The Week

I’ve decided to add a new category to EZ eSports Betting today. It’s the Bet Of The Week Category. Betting responsibly is very important to me. I don’t want to become a problem gambler, one that has no control over my gambling habits. I also don’t want readers of this blog to become problem gamblers. That’s one of the reasons I wrote the responsible gambling post.

As part of my responsible gambling I’ve nominated that I will only place one or two bets a week. I’ve also allocated a monthly budget of $40. Naturally that means that I can’t exceed that $40 which means I can’t bet more than $40 on a single bet. If I do place $40 on a bet then that’s my betting allowance blown for the month.

This Week’s Bet Of The Week

As my regular readers know I am a Adelaide Crows fan. Yep, you guessed it this weeks wager was placed on the Fremantle Crows game. As you know I had to choose between either Sportingbet or bet365. So, I check my respective phone apps to see which of the two is offering the best odds. As you can see from the screen shots from my iPhone 5S while Sportingbet has a more colourful display it was bet365, the middle one, that offered the better odds.

Well I had the same gut feeling when they played against Collingwood. Even though every one said I was crazy I backed Adelaide and won.

The fact that Adelaide did really well last week when they won convincingly against the Suns also swayed my decision a little. Not to mention that Taylor (Tex) Walker seems to be performing so much better scoring 5 goals.

Then there’s the fact that Adelaide pays so much better than Fremantle.

So, there you have it, the Adelaide Crows is my Bet Of The Week for this week. Naturally that does not mean they’re going to win or that you should also bet on them. You have to follow your own gut feeling. Perhaps you’d prefer an entirely different game. I’d really love to hear what your bet of the week is for this week.

How To Bet And Win

Truth be told it’s virtually impossible to always bet and win. Lets face it, gambling is hardly ever a sure thing. The usual outcome of placing a bet is that you’re going to lose, right? This is especially true at casino’s, whether in real life or online. When I visit the casino I always allocate a certain amount to lose. Even when I win I tend to pump my winnings back. Reckon what I need is to invest in a Gamble Box.

Bet And Win In Sports Betting

This is why I decided to go the sports betting route on my online sports betting venture. My sport of choice is naturally the AFL because I know more about the AFL than any other sports. I wrote about a couple of my bets in the Sportingbet Review post. Because I am all about Responsible Gambling I allowed myself a $30 budget for the month. I blew that in three weeks. What does that tell me? Simply that I don’t know as much as I thought I did about the AFL teams. Also that I let my emotion over my team, the Adelaide Crows, overrule any logical betting procedure. Emotion should never play a part when trying to bet and win.

When placing my next bet I have to be more aware of injuries, performances, whether or not the home advantage is enough to get them over the line. I’m sure if I take all this and more into consideration I will have more of a chance when it comes to betting and actually winning.

Bet And Win On Sportingbet

I like Sportingbet because their app makes sports betting online so easy. The fact that they accept PayPal is also a bonus, although it would have been nice if they also accepted Neteller. Oh well, they may take them on later.

Anyway, if you’re pretty good at your footy picks then you may want to have a go at placing some sports bets online. They don’t have to be big wagers either because sure you can win more if you bet big but then you can also lose more. For me, when it comes to betting on sports online it’s more about the extra thrill of watching a game you placed a bet on than anything else. Naturally the added thrill of winning would be pretty cool too, which is why I intend to do a lot more research before placing the next bets.

Something else to keep in mind is that, usually, it’s the long shot that pays the most. So, if you think that in a particular game the underdog actually has a chance of winning it might be worth placing a few bucks on them as a side bet.

So, what’s your tactics when it comes to placing a bet on your favourite sport?
