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.

Covering Your Bets Easy eSports Betting

covering your betsFor me sports betting isn’t all about winning bets. It’s more about using my sports bet to improve the enjoyment factor of the sports I choose to watch. As I’ve said on more than one occasion having a bet on makes watching the game that more exciting.

Having said that if I have a chance to improve the chance of winning a bet I’m going to take it.

That brings to mind the post I wrote a while back called improving your odds on a sport bet. The problem with that example is that the team you back have to win for the bet to pay off.

For todays post I’m going to give you an example of covering your bets to increase your chances of winning.

Covering Your Bets To Increase Your Chance Of A Win

My bet of the week today was on the Adelaide United vs Melbourne Victory game tonight. I decided on the covering your bets option after Lady Luck advised me against placing a bet. I checked my favourite online bookies before placing a bet to see who offered the best odds. This time it turned out to be William Hill.

As you can see I placed $10 on Adelaide United to win as well as $5 on Melbourne Victory to win. The only way I can lose this bet is if it’s a draw or if the win happens in extra time. I wrote about that in the post When a Win Is Not A Win. I tell you, it was a bit upsetting when that happened to me the first time but now that I know all bookies apply that rule I’m now fine with it.

Covering your bets may not always come out in a win win situation, as this one did. It all depends on what odds were being offered. If the odds on Melbourne victory was any lower I wouldn’t have bothered applying the covering your bets rule and just placed a straight bet on Adelaide United to win.

By applying the covering your bets option an Adelaide United win will net me a profit of $6. If Melbourne Victory wins I only win $1 but that’s better than not winning anything at all. Either way it increases my William Hill sports betting bankroll. And, increasing your sports betting bankroll is always a good thing.  :drunk:

AFL Pick The Ladder Now Live

AFL Pick The Ladder selection

As you all know William Hill is now live, having replaced the old Sportingbet. I knew they would have some special deals in the kitty to reward members and to encourage new members to join. The first of those special offers has now been released, and it’s a little ripper too! I’m talking about their AFL Pick The Ladder promotion.

Win $100 Million In The AFL Pick The Ladder Promo

Yep, there are a lot of reasons to be excited about the AFL season being almost here and one of those is William Hills latest AFL Pick The Ladder Promo. I had a quick look at the Terms & Conditions and there are two points that I think is really interesting. The first is the second point.

2. A wager in the AFL Pick The Ladder 2015 (the Bet Type) will be a successful wager where the Client has nominated all 18 participating teams in their correct finishing order in the 2015 Toyota AFL Premiership Season Ladder as declared by the Australian Football League (AFL) at the conclusion of Round 23 (Successful Wager).

So, all you have to do to get your hands on a portion of that $100 million is to correctly predict the order of of the AFL ladder at the end of the season, That’s round 23. That’s a pretty hard ask, to get all 18 right, but the it’s worth having a punt considering how much is in the kitty.

the second interesting one is point number 8.

8. Where there is only one Successful Wager for this Bet Type, that Successful Wager will collect the AUD100,000,000 Dividend Pool. Where there is more than one Successful Wager for this Bet Type, the AUD100,000,000 Dividend Pool will be divided equally between all Successful Wagers.

That means that if you’re the only one to predict the AFL Pick The Ladder correctly you will pocket the whole $100 million!
