AFL Finals Week One Footy Tips

So, the AFL Finals are finally upon us. There are only eight teams left and footy being what it is almost anything can happen. As always before I get into the AFL Finals Week One footy tips and for the benefit of those who have yet to experience the joy of online sports betting I’m going to post my top three online sports betting sites.

  1. Bet365 because of their unique sliding scale feature for cashing out is always a possibility. The sliding cash out feature allows you to choose how much you want to cash out which is great when you’re not sure whether or not you want to cash out at all.
  2. Sportsbet also has a cash out feature but what I love best about them is their Million Dollar Tipping competition which is free to join. This post shows how you can actually win as long as you get the closest margin!
  3. William Hill, well they’re William Hill, one of the most renowned online sports betting sites. I’m just hanging out for the day they introduce a cash out feature.

Those who know me know that I do more than just promote these online sports betting sites. I actually use them and post proof of my weekly online bets so everyone can see I do more than just talk about the best sports betting sites.

OK, now let’s check out Fortuna’s AFL Finals week one footy tips.

Fortuna’s AFL Finals Week One Footy Tips

AFL Finals Week One Footy Tips

  • West Coast vs Hawthorn
  • Fremantle vs Sydney
  • Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide
  • Richmond vs Nth Melbourne

You know, I think that Fortuna has a soft spot for the Adelaide Crows because at times she tips them even though most punters would bet against them. She doesn’t always get it right but it does pay better when she does get it right.  :thumb_up:

Being the final and all I’m not sure I’ll use her AFL Finals week one footy tips for a multi-bet. Before I make up my mind though I’m going to need to check the odds from those sports betting site I’ve listed above.

Finals being what they are I’m not placing my usual multi-bet this week. Instead I’m placing a $10 bet on the Adelaide Crows. Even though William Hill has the best odds I’m going with Sportsbet. The reason for that is so I can take advantage of Sportsbet special offer! Sportsbet special offer

Sportsbet’s special deal means that even if the Crows lose I can still get my money back as long as the Crows lead in any of the four quarters. Shit, I’m hoping the Crows win so I’m pretty sure they’ll be leading at least in one of the breaks. You can see my bet here.

Even though their Million Dollar Tipping competition is over for 2015 I’m still placing a $1 multi-bet with Sportsbet. Yeah I know I said I wasn’t going to do a multi-bet but it’s only a dollar and I love that even such a small bet will improve the enjoyment factor for the whole finals!

Round 23 Footy Tips Results

Fortuna’s Round 23 Footy Tips Results

round 23 footy tips results

Man, I thought Brutus looked upset with last weeks footy tips results but take a look at Sasquatch above, does he look pissed or what. Can’t blame him as some would say that 5 out of 9 is a pretty poor result. Sure it’s not the best result and the round 23 footy tips results would have to be Fortuna’s worst yet, but it could have been worse.  Some of those results were pretty unexpected!

Take the Geelong vs Adelaide Crows game. I was so sure that the Crows would win that game that I made it the first leg of my Bet365 Multi-Bet! Luckily for me I was working and so didn’t watch the Crows poor performance. According to my son who did watch the game it was a poor performance. Especially after their brilliant game against West Coast Eagles the week before.

You can read a full history of the Crows in Finals, the last one being in 2012. While I’m happy they managed to secure a spot in the Finals I’m not all that confident they will do well. Having said that I sure as hell hope they prove me wrong.

Then there was the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane Lions game! How in hell did the Bulldogs let the Lions beat them. Who knows, maybe they didn’t want the Lions to get the better draft picks as wooden spooners preferring it to go to Carlton. Western Bulldogs started off well but let an impressive lead to be chipped away by a team that wanted the win more than they did.

As for the last of the round 23 footy tips results they were also part of my multi-bet and I was surprised that they didn’t pan out. Surprisingly enough that was the first time I got every leg of my multi-bet wrong! Oh well, they can only get better from here right.  😎

I posted the AFL ladder on my FaceBook Page so you can see the final standings leading up to the finals this week.

Fortuna’s Round 23 AFL Footy Tips

Round 23 AFL Footy Tips

It’s the last round before the finals. Fremantle has decided to rest up to 11 players in their game against Port Adelaide. Upsets in round 22 only proves how it anybody’s game the closer we get to the finals. I had my first multi-bet loss in three rounds but I don’t really care because I’m pretty stoked that the Crows beat West Coast!  :drunk:

OK, I think it’s time we have a look at Fortuna’s round 23 AFL footy tips. Let’s hope she’ll do better than last weeks round where she got 6 out of the 9 tips right.

  • Geelong vs Adelaide Crows

As always I asked Fortuna for her ‘too close to call’ as I usually try to stay away from betting on these games. In her round 23 AFL footy tips Fortuna reckons I should stay away from the Richmond vs Nth. Melbourne and the Melbourne vs GWS Giants games.

Once again I’ve decided to go with Bet365 for my triple multi-bet for seven bucks. That left me $3 to bet. normally I place a dollar on each of the teams in the multi-bet but this time I wanted to try something different. This time I put a dollar on the three teams with the best odds. That means I put a dollar on Carlton, Gold Coast and St. Kilda.  Who knows, maybe the round 23 AFL footy tips will come up with some more surprises. Here’s hoping!
