AFL Round 5 2017 Tips

AFL round five is upon us and Fortuna isn’t tracking too badly with a running total of 25 in her tipping. It would have been a lot higher except for two shocking weeks of upsets. Round 1 and round 3. Lets hope that her AFL round 5 2017 tips are as good or better than last weeks, round 4, results.

OK Fortuna, lets have a look at your AFL round 5 2017 tips.

I decided to place a multi-bet this week with Bet365 as their odds are slightly better. Fortuna Round 5 AFL Tips Bet365 betThis multibet consists of only 3 legs. You can see my bet over there on the right and as you can see it matches my picks in the table above. That $10 bet will return close to $25. I’m hoping it’s another winning bet.  :tup:

Sportsbet Million Dollar Tipping

The next thing on the list is to head on over to Sportsbet so I can enter this weeks Million Dollar Tipping competition. I usually place a dollar multi-bet on my tips but this week I’m going all out and placing a $2 wager. :tongue_out: That $2 bet will return $47.40. That would be pretty cool. Naturally I would rather win the million dollar tipping competition which would net $5000!

Even though I know sweet FA about the NRL I also enter the NRL million dollar tipping. Why not, it’s free right? Last week I went for the randomize option. Today I decided to go for the tip favourites option.

Usually after placing a multi-bet on my million dollar tipping tips I just let it play out to the end. Then it dawned on me that I was letting a great opportunity slip by, :bash: I’m not taking advantage of the Sportsbet cash out feature. I don’t need to wait right till the end. I can cash out at any time and take whatever winnings are available. This week I’m definitely keeping the cash out feature in mind.

AFL Round 2 2017 Tips

What a great start to the 2017 AFL season. Sure there were some upsets but that’s the name of the game when it comes to any form of sports betting. You win some and you lose some. I know that, as long as I win more than I lose and I enjoy the extra thrill the bet puts on the game then it’s all good. :tup: Check out my last post to see the results of the round 1 tipping. Now it’s time to check out Fortuna’s AFL round 2 2017 tips.

AFL round 2 multibetOK, we have our AFL Round 2 2017 Tips at hand and we also have the odds offered by my favourite online sports betting sites. Next thing to consider before placing a bet is whether or not there are any specials being offered by those sites. William Hill has their “Get up to $50 back in bonus bets if your team loses by 32 points or less” deal. That was very tempting until I noticed it excluded SA, WA & NSW residents! Man, that really sucks.

Sportsbet had their Power Play option. Hitting the Power Play button gives you even better odds.

Couldn’t find any applicable promotions on Bet365.

In the end I decided to go with Sportsbet because I had the most money with them. I went with a multibet because multi-bets have a better payout than your everyday head to head bet. You can read all about multi-bets here.

You can see my actual multi-bet over there on the right. A $10 outlay will net me $41.72 if I win.

I’d love to hear of any bets that you’re placing.

EDIT: Million Dollar Tipping: Shit!! I forgot all about the Sportsbet Million Dollar Tipping competition. I forgot about it last week and I almost forgot about it this week. Luckily I remembered and I entered my NRL and AFL tips giving me two chances of winning $10,000! Man, wouldn’t it be great to actually win both? Don’t forget to enter your Million Dollar Tipping AFL tips!

AFL Footy Tips Round 15 2016

Fortuna’s Lady Lucks AFL Footy Tips Round 15 2016

AFL Footy Tips Round 15 2016 Fortuna's picks

We’re now into our third bye week and I’m hoping that Fortuna’s, our very own lady luck, AFL Footy Tips Round 15 2016 is even better than last weeks result. As you know last week she scored 5 out of seven bringing this years total to 85! I’m sure a lot of punters out there were very surprised when Geelong lost to St. Kilda.

OK, let’s take a look at Fortuna’s AFL Footy Tips Round 15 2016.

  • West Coast vs Essendon (Domain)
  • Port Adelaide vs Richmond (Adelaide)
  • Gold Coast vs St. Kilda (Metricon)
  • Sydney vs Western Bulldogs (SGC)
  • Carlton vs Collingwood (MCG)
  • Melbourne vs Adelaide (MCG)

Of Fortuna’s tips I have no doubt that West Coast will beat Essendon. If Essendon manages to win that one I reckon they would have done some deal with a sports demon. Either that or West Coast goes in half cocked.

The only game that I think can go either way is the Carlton vs Collingwood game. That’s one match that won’t be included in any of my bets this week.  :no-no:

Now that I have Fortuna’s AFL Footy Tips Round 15 2016 it’s time to have a look at what odds the top three online sports bookies are offering.

As you all know I’m a member of what I believe to be the top three online sports betting sites;

  1. Bet365
  2. Sportsbet
  3. William Hill

All three online sports betting sites have been around for years and are trusted by millions of punters world wide. I recommend joining more than one online sports betty site partly so I can be assured of getting the best odds but also so I have something to fall back on if one of them is offline for whatever reason.


This week I’ve decided to go with William Hill again because they have the Multi Insurance offer where as long as you do a 4 leg multi you get your money back (up to $50) if one of your leg fails. That’s one better than Sportsbet where you have to place a 5 leg multi bet. You can see this weeks bet HERE.

Sportsbet’s Million Dollar Tipping

Now all I have to do is to place my tips in Sportsbet’s Million Dollar Tipping competition. I was only one off last week. I even entered the NRL tipping and got 5 out of the seven right. Pretty good considering I don’t follow the NRL. Considering it’s free for members I figured I may as well do both.

Have you joined Sportsbet’s Million Dollar Tipping competition yet?
