Brenton Sanderson Sacked! A Crow Fan Perspective

Brenton Sanderson sacked! You have to be kidding me. I couldn’t believe it when I found out they sacked Brenton Sanderson. Sure, the Crows haven’t been performing well but I felt they were getting better. Personally I don’t believe they gave Sanderson a fair go. The least they could do was let him finish his contract. Who knows, maybe next year would have been the year that Sanderson got the Crows to the grand final. Now we’ll never know.

When you think about it the Crows were Sanderson’s first team as a coach. I don’t think anyone would argue that the Crows Sanderson inherited was a struggling team. He also had to put up with the Kurt Tippet saga which I’m sure hurt the Crows more than anyone will admit.

I admit that I don’t know all the ins and outs of what it is to be a good coach. I’m also not privy to all the information the Crows board has available to them. I’m just worried about them sacking Sanderson without any warning whatever. It just doesn’t seem fair. One would have thought that it would be so much more productive to sit down with him first. Work out the negatives and positives to this season. That last showdown being a great positive.

Who knows, maybe sitting around the boardroom table they would have been able to come up with a winning plan. One that would have gotten the Crows into finals contention.

Now what do we have. Not a damn thing. You would have thought they would have secured another coach before sacking the one that we had. Who knows who will be the Crows next coach. How much experience will he have? Will the players take to him. I bloody well hope so. The last thing we want is a coach the players aren’t happy with. There certainly won’t be any joy there for Crows fans.

Sanderson Not A Happy Man

Hopefully none of our key players will decide to desert after hearing that Sanderson was sacked. I’m sure some of the players won’t be happy with the way he was turfed out.

Who do you think the Crows will secure for their latest coach? Who would you like to coach the Crows next year? Just leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you.

Sports Betting Strategy Gone Wrong

Man, what a shit weekend that turned out to be as far as my sports betting strategy went. In my defence I didn’t really have a sports betting strategy when placing my sports bets online. Except for one game I bet on all long shots. If you recall my Bet365 Free Bet Update post I included the 5 bets I placed for my bet of the week. I know it was a lot more than I normally place on sports bets but that post explains the reason for that.

Unfortunately all those bets turned out to be losing bets but the only one that really pissed me off was the Adelaide

Crows vs North Melbourne Betting Strategy

Like I was saying at the beginning of the post I didn’t really have a betting strategy. I reckon if I did I would have done a whole lot better. Problem is, and I’m being totally honest here, I don’t believe I’ll ever have a betting strategy. The reason being because that means doing a whole lot of research. Research means work and I do enough of that as it is. I want my sports betting to be work free and that means placing sports bets by the seat of my pants. So far, apart from last week, I’ve been holding my own.

I watched the Crows / North Melbourne game with my son Frank. I could see he wasn’t enjoying the game. I know I was. I mean it was a really close game, the lead changing at least 6 times. I asked him why and he said there wasn’t any really good tackles or screamers or anything. I reckon the reason I got more of a kick out of it was because I had placed a sports bet on the game. That made the game that much more exiting.

The reason I’m pissed about the result was because the Crows could have won that game. They didn’t because of all the stupid and careless mistakes they had made inside North Melbourne’s 50 metres. Shit! They virtually gave away at least 5 goals from careless mistakes. When you consider they only lost by 10 points those dumb ass mistakes cost them the game.

So, tell me guys! Am I the only one that thinks the Crows should have one that game?

Aslo, in regards to a sports betting strategy. Do any of you guys have one? If you do, perhaps you’d like to share some of it with the rest of us.

Winning Sports Bet

Winning sports bets is probably the main reason why people bet on sports. More and more are doing it online because it’s so easy to do so. That and the fact that it gets rid of those long lines, the sometimes obnoxious sales person and the ease of placing a bet no matter where you are.

In my last bet of the week you’ll remember that I placed a bet on the Crows to beat the Brisbane Lions.

My Winning Sports Bet! Go The Crows

Just in case you missed the game you will notice by my winning sport ticket below that I have another winning sports bet. Yep, the Crows did us proud once again. It’s a shame that they haven’t been able to do that more often this season, but hey, that’s what makes sports betting so interesting. And also what makes those winning sports bets so special. Especially for me because to date my losing sports bets outweigh my winning sports bets.

I’m not worried though for the following three reasons.

  1. I’m new to sports betting so it’s only natural that winning sports bets will be hard to come by in the beginning.
  2. I’m a responsible gambler. That means that I never bet more than I can afford to lose. So when I do lose it doesn’t bother me, especially when the bet itself enhanced the experience I had watching the sport I placed a bet on.
  3. That brings me to my third point. While those winning sports bets are always welcome, my prime motive for online sports betting is to add that extra bit of excitement to love of sports. The best thing is that it doesn’t have to be a huge bet to increase the excitement factor either. Nope, it doesn’t even have to be a winning sports bet. Just the fact that I placed a bet is good enough.

Oh, for those of you who are interested I used Sportingbet to place that bet. It was a snatch. I even made a video, which I included it this post showing how easy it is to place a bet online. 

Have you got any winning sports bet that you’d like to tell us about? If so just leave a comment.
