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.

Changing The Game Review

As much as I would like to I can’t afford to buy all the sports betting guides out there so that I can write a personal review. It would be nice if the authors would send me a copy for review but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

What I have managed to do though is to purchase a tool that allows me to pull certain information straight from the Amazon site where these products resides. The only ones that I will actually post on this site are those that have a majority of positive reviews.

The one thing that I love about Amazon is that they post all the reviews from customers, both good and bad. This allows future customers to purchase a product with a lot more confidence. I’ve personally purchased many products from them and I’ve never had any complaints.

For the first review I’ve chosen the book, Changing the Game. That link will take you to the Kindle version. If you haven’t got a Kindle its a great way to read books as well as having heaps of other multi-media features. Not to mention that the Kindle version is always a lot cheaper than the printed version of a book. But back to Changing The Game.

The author, William O. Hall, III happens to be a professional money manager and lifelong sports fan. He’s also an experienced Wall Street veteran  specialising in simplifying investment solutions so they can be easily understood and implemented. Having a unique ability to make money on the stock market he has applied his skill to making money by placing bets on sports.

Although his book refers to American sports I’m sure it can be applied to any of the world’s popular sports.

 It’s time now to let Amazon take over so we can have a deeper view at what Changing The Game is all about and what actual customers  think of the book.

Bet Of The Week

I’ve decided to add a new category to EZ eSports Betting today. It’s the Bet Of The Week Category. Betting responsibly is very important to me. I don’t want to become a problem gambler, one that has no control over my gambling habits. I also don’t want readers of this blog to become problem gamblers. That’s one of the reasons I wrote the responsible gambling post.

As part of my responsible gambling I’ve nominated that I will only place one or two bets a week. I’ve also allocated a monthly budget of $40. Naturally that means that I can’t exceed that $40 which means I can’t bet more than $40 on a single bet. If I do place $40 on a bet then that’s my betting allowance blown for the month.

This Week’s Bet Of The Week

As my regular readers know I am a Adelaide Crows fan. Yep, you guessed it this weeks wager was placed on the Fremantle Crows game. As you know I had to choose between either Sportingbet or bet365. So, I check my respective phone apps to see which of the two is offering the best odds. As you can see from the screen shots from my iPhone 5S while Sportingbet has a more colourful display it was bet365, the middle one, that offered the better odds.

Well I had the same gut feeling when they played against Collingwood. Even though every one said I was crazy I backed Adelaide and won.

The fact that Adelaide did really well last week when they won convincingly against the Suns also swayed my decision a little. Not to mention that Taylor (Tex) Walker seems to be performing so much better scoring 5 goals.

Then there’s the fact that Adelaide pays so much better than Fremantle.

So, there you have it, the Adelaide Crows is my Bet Of The Week for this week. Naturally that does not mean they’re going to win or that you should also bet on them. You have to follow your own gut feeling. Perhaps you’d prefer an entirely different game. I’d really love to hear what your bet of the week is for this week.
