A the 2015 AFL season moves towards round 11 we come to our first bye round. That means we only have 6 games to look at from a betting point of view! I’m sure we all agree that football is a gruelling game. You can see how stuffed the players are at the end of some of the games and so byes are necessary to give the boys a break.

This weeks byes include Adelaide Crows, Richmond, Western Bulldogs, Brisbane Lions, Carlton and Hawthorn. Now lets look at Fortuna’s round 11 AFL Footy Tips.

As always I’ll be using Fortuna’s round 11 AFL footy tips to place my next AFL Multi-Bet. As promised in my round 10 post I’ll be using Bet365 for this weeks multi-bet.

How To Place A Multi-Bet on Bet365

I have to admit it took me a little while to work out how to place a multi-bet on bet365 because they don’t actually call it a Multi Bet. Once I worked it out though it was a cinch.

As with Sportsbet and William Hill you simply click on the teams you’re going to bet on to create your ‘Bet Slip’. You then click on your Bet Slip. Below your bets you’ll notice a ‘Multiple Options’ tab. That only appears if you’ve bet on more than one game or sport. Click on that.

That opens up some more selections that you can see on the left side of the image above. As I selected four teams for my multi-bet my the ‘4 Folds’ turned out to be the selection for my multi-bet. If I had chosen 5 teams a ‘5 Fold’ option would have appeared and I would select that. If I only picked three teams I would select ‘Trebles’. I clicked on the ‘Stakes’ tab to place my bet.

Clicking on the actual ‘4 Folds’ link on the left brings up the middle part of the image above. That shows my stake, odds and how much I would win if my selections were correct. Bet365 also use the same formula as I wrote in this post to work out their odds.

The last part of the image on the right shows my actual bet. Yep, I actually place real bets to show you how its all done.

I noticed that Bet365 didn’t require me to actually place bets on the individual matches. I thought this was unique to them but after checking Sportsbet I found it also applied to them. This is cool because it allows me to place the full $10 wager on the multibet. The good thing is that means for a big win if the bet pans out. The bad thing is if it doesn’t I lose the total bet. While using the other system allows for a smaller win it also means you don’t lose as much if the multibet fails.

Oh, something else I’ve found out is that Bet365 also has a Cash Out feature, Can’t wait to try that out,

Stay tuned for an up and coming post that will rate the rate the different MultiBet features of the different online sports books.

Most Popular Online Sports Betting Sites

I used to promote William Hill and Sportsbet but no more. Those links will explain why. Until I find another two sports betting sites to join I’ll continue to promote Ladbrokes: As you know, I love online sports betting websites with history and Ladbrokes certainly fit the bill. They’ve been around since 1886. Why not check out their Sports Betting section! Read my Ladbrokes Australia Review.

Placing Bets Online

Unlike other sites that link to sports betting websites with no personal experience, I’ve joined these sites and use them on a weekly basis to place my online sports bets. You’ll find the proof of these online bets in my posts as I show my readers the ins and outs of online sports betting.

 Picking A Safe Secure Sports Betting Site

Before joining any online sports betting sites, I always make sure it fulfils four essential criteria.

  1. It’s been around for several years. If they’ve been able to last for several years then they must be doing something right; otherwise, they would have folded up.
  2. There wasn’t any negative feedback. The internet being what it is you can always tell when a site is shonky by the amount of negative feedback it’s accumulated.
  3. They were easy to use. The last thing you want to do is to spend ages trying to work out how to use your new online sports betting site.
  4. It has to have a sports betting app that is easy to use. You will come to love placing bets online once you have access to a half decent sports betting app.

The More Sports Betting Sites The Better

I have an excellent reason for joining more than one online sports betting site. Naturally, I wanted to be able to write honest reviews for you guys. I now have something to fall back on if one of them ever went offline, which has happened. More importantly though is that I can check to see who has the best odds, before placing a bet.

Another favourite sports betting sites that I haven’t joined yet is UniBet!

If you’re interested in earning money by promoting online sports betting sites as an affiliate, you will find this post fascinating.

Even more important than that is my post on responsible gambling. As long as you follow those guidelines, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have an enjoyable online betting experience.

Why Popular Online Sports Betting Is Growing

It’s no wonder that the popularity of online sports betting is on the rise. Have you ever wondered why online sports betting is so popular? It’s not all that surprising when you consider all the things you can now do online. These things include shopping online, buying lottery tickets online, paying your bills online and among many other things, placing bets on your favourite sports online. Let’s look at some of the things that make putting a wager online so popular.

  • No more waiting in queue to place a bet. This would have to be at the top of the list as far as what’s driving the popularity of online sports betting.
  • The ability to shop around so you can get the best odds. The better the odds, the more you can win. Just one of the reasons why I have joined three of the best online sports betting sites.
  • Speaking of odds, more often than not you will get better odds online so why would you want to place a bet any other way?
  • Placing a bet online is easy. No more phone calls which end up with you being put on hold. No more having to drive to the local TAB. Now you can place your bets online from the comfort of your own home.
  • Smartphones Apps make placing sports bets online even more accessible. Using sports betting apps means you can put a stake online no matter where you are, as long as you can get an internet connection.
  • Exposure to world sports is another reason for the growing popularity of online sports betting. Once you join one of the reputable online sports betting sites, you can bet on almost anything from darts to the Tour De France.
  • There are heaps of online perks. Believe it or not, you’re essential to the online sports betting sites. They want your business and are willing to give you the best deals to get it. This goes way beyond the offers provided to entice you to join. These specials continue to flow because they want to keep your business. Anything from cashback offers on losing bets to significantly better odds on selected events.

There is no way you will get all these benefits from your regular bookie or bricks and mortar betting sites.

As far as I can see, there is only one major flaw to online betting. Betting online is so easy it can be an issue for people with a gambling problem. That is why I stress responsible gambling time and time again.

Lucky Sports Bet Of The Week

It’s time for me to pick another lucky sports bet. As usual I ask Lady Luck as to whether or not I should place a bet. Fortuna, our Lady Luck of sports, has had a pretty good run so far. She did get last week wrong though but maybe she was trying to tell me something.  :tongue_out:

When I asked her if I should place a bet this week she pointed to William Hill. As I’m not a William Hill member she’s clearly telling me to place a bet.

Ok, so the first thing to do is to check my Sports Betting Apps to see who has the best odds. As you know I’ve joined three of my favourite online sports betting sites.

Checking the odds was as simple as flicking through my smartphone apps. You can see the results below.

Lucky Sports Bet Best Odds

Yeah, you know I’m going to bet on the Crows vs Collingwood game. I should have bet on the Crows last week but I chased the better odds and backed Port Power instead. As it turns out Port Power, although it was a brilliant game, let me down.

Out of my favourite online Bookies SportsBet and William Hill are offering the best odds. William Hill have been pretty lucky for me so I figured this week I’ll place my wager with them. Hopefully it will turn out to be a lucky sports bet for me.

Lucky Sports Bet For The Adelaide Crows

Both the Crows and Collingwood played well last week. I reckon the Adelaide Crows were the better of the two. Also, the fact that Steele Sidebottom is out means that Collingwood will need to pick up their game.

Of course one never knows how things will turn out when it comes to betting on any sport outcome. Upsets happen all the time. This is why you should always bet responsibly and  never bet more than you can afford to lose.
