Demons Were Robbed In Port Power Melbourne Clash

Yeah, you heard it right ! say the Demons were robbed in Sunday’s match against Port Power. It’s not just because I put money on them either, as I wrote in my last post. I didn’t get to watch the game because I had to work. Regardless I snuck a peek every now and again at my iPhone and imagine my excitement when Melbourne pulled away from Port Power. Excitement that was only there because I placed a bet on that game. If it wasn’t for the wager I wouldn’t have given a toss what the result of the game was,

Why The Demons Were Robbed

I didn’t find out that the Demons were robbed until I got home and spoke to my son Frank. Frank had also placed $5 on WATTS Jack Demons were RobbedMelbourne to win, only he used Sportingbet whereas I used bet365. Frank also admitted that having a bet on the game did make it a lot more exiting to watch.

Anyway, Frank told me that the Demons were robbed in final stages of the third quarter. He reckons that mere seconds before the three-quarter-time Port Power were given a free kick which resulted in them scoring a goal. If it wasn’t for that goal the Demons would have won and I would have had a winning bet rather than a losing one.

If you watch the replay in the video below you’ll see that Jack Watts clearly punched the ball first in a marking contest against Port’s Chad Wingard. The Demons were robbed because Jack Watts was penalised for high contact. Son the stupid umpires awarded Wingard the free from which he kicked that damning goal. A goal that gave Port the lead and cost the Demons the game..

AFL Clash Melbourne vs Port Power

I wasn’t going to post a bet of the week this week because I couldn’t really find a sport that I wanted to place a bet on. The World Cup is over, I’m not really into darts so the World Matchplay 2014 was out. The Adelaide Crows are having a bye this week so I wasn’t really thinking about placing a bet on the AFL. That was until I saw the odds on the AFL clash between Melbourne and Port Power.

AFL Clash Bet Of The Week Because Of Great Odds

Normally the only time I watch Port Power play is if they’re playing against the Adelaide Crows. Naturally if they’re playing against AFL Clash Melbourne Port Powerthe Vics or some other Interstate teams I want the Power to win because I support South Australian teams. This is in stark contrast to the greater majority of Port Power supporters who for some reason always want the Crows to lose when playing other teams.

Anyway, while checking the odds of the different AFL games on my bet365 app I noticed some killer odds on the the AFL clash between Melbourne and Port Power.Check out the odd in the image over to the right.

You’ll notice the 8.00 odds for Melbourne which is why I backed them. You’ll will also know that I only placed a $5 wager. That’s because I’m not completely bonkers. I don’t think that Melbourne have a hope in hell winning that particular AFL clash. But then you never know. Upsets do happen.

Isn’t it funny that ever since the last Showdown where the Crows, agains’t all odds I might add, beat the Power, Port just haven’t been able to win a game. People said I was crazy to back the Crows but I did and I won the bet.

Who knows, maybe they still haven’t got their act together. Maybe Melbourne will be able create another AFL miracle. All I know is that this time I want the Power to lose and it looks like even though the Crows aren’t playing I have a AFL game to watch this weekend.

In case you want to know why I’m not backing Port Power its because of their really crappy odds of 1.08. Just checked my bet365 app again and Melbourne is now 11.00 and Power 1.05. Shit!! I wish I had placed my bet today 😀

For all you Port Power supporters I did manage to find this really cool video that I think you will enjoy. It’s I Love The Power by Nova 919’s Dylan Lewis.

Online Betting And Why It’s So Popular

There is no doubt about it, online betting is popular and is growing every day as more and more punters join the growing online betting crowd. So what makes online betting so popular? Lets have a look at some of the more popular reasons for the popularity of online betting.

 Top 5 Reasons For Online Betting

  • Ability to shop around for best online betting odds. Online betting not only allows punters to get the best odds available, it also allows them to take advantage of any special deals offered by the online betting sites. That’s one of the reasons why I advocate joining more than one online betting portal. That’s why I’ve joined both bet365 and William Hill and will more likely than not join one or two more.
  • Online sports betting makes placing a bet on any given sport as easy as picking up a laptop or pulling their smartphone out of their pocket or handbag. Gone are the days where you have to leave the comfort of your home to drive down to your nearest brick and mortar betting agency. Think of the savings in petrol and wear and tear to your car, not to mention the time savings. Even if you used to place you bets via phone, there’s no more having to listed to crappy music while you’re put on hold. Also there’s not more having to put up with some snotty person on the other end of the line.
  • Lower Stakes due to online betting. As I haven’t placed a bet before joining the online betting fraternity I have no first hand experience of this. I know that William Hill allows me to place a bet as low as 50 cents and that bet365 allows a wager as low as 25 cents. This alone is a great advocate for responsible gambling. It’s also a great way for the casual punter to enjoy all that online betting allows him without breaking the bank.
  • How often have you wished you could place a bet on a particular sport or race but couldn’t because you were at work, at a function or on a family vacation? Online sports betting means you can place a bet on any sport no matter where you are.
  • Online betting increases the exposure of sports you’re allowed to place a bet on. This is because online betting sportsbooks exposures the online punter for almost all sports no matter where they’re being played in the world. As you know I placed a bet on Germany to beat Argentina just the other day whilst sitting down and writing the post.

As you can see there are a lot of advantages for having an online betting account. If you have any others that you would like to add just leave a comment below.

I’ve put together two online betting collages of screenshots of the two online sports betting sportsbook that I have joined so far.
