Last week our sports bet went up in flames thanks to Tottenham and Chelsea’s aversion to scoring goals. Also the matches between Rayo Vallecano and Granada and Ajaccio v Auxerre unexpectedly exceeded 2.5 goals. We ended up with 6 from 11 which was a pretty poor result to be honest.

This week’s sports bet we’ve gone with just 8 legs with total odds of $28.10. We’ve incorporated a mixture of our usual football tips into the sports bet, as well as going with the season and throwing in some Australian Open legs. On top of that we’ve also included a match from the KFC Big Bash Semi Finals to give it some more local flavour.

For the 3rd round of the Australian Open, we’ve taken Maria Sharapova and Gael Monfis to win their matches in straight sets tomorrow.

In the soccer, we’ve taken a mixture of Dutch Football, English Premier League, Italian Serie A and Spanish Primera Liga to make up the other 5 legs.

For the Dutch League, we’ve taken a match from both the Eredivise and the Eerste Divisie (2nd Div.), both matches we’ve taken over 2.5 goals. Last week we were let down by the Eerste Divisie with almost half of the matches going under 2.5 goals for the first time I can remember. This week we’re banking on that anomaly being just that.

For the English Premier League, we’ve also gone the over 2.5 option in the Norwich v Chelsea match. Matches involving both Norwich and Chelsea average over 3 goals per game so far this season so we should be pretty safe on this one.

In the Italian Serie A, we’ve taken the under 2.5 goals option in the Cagliari v Fiorentina match. Both sides sit mid-table and have the joint lowest for and against goals record in the league with less than 2 goals scored per match.

Last up in our sports bet we’ve taken the Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao match to go over 2.5 goals. Real Madrid are on fire at home with 34 goals in 8 matches and I expect that form to continue.

So there you have it, check out the sports bet below and let us know if you agree of disagree with any of the legs. If you have any bets of your own, be sure to let us know in the comments section also.

Sportingbet Sports Bet of the Week

In this weeks sports bet we finally welcome back most of the European football leagues. We now don’t have to rely as heavily on any particular league which gives us good variety for our sports bet.

This week we’ve gone for a mixture of English Premier League, French Ligue 1, Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A. For the English Premier League we’ve gone for under 3.5 goals in the Liverpool v Stoke game. We’ve gone over 2.5 for both the Chelsea v Sunderland and Tottenham v Wolves matches.

In the Spanish La Liga we’ve gone for a mixture of unders and outrights. Real Madrid away and Athletico Madrid at home we’ve gone for the outright wins. We’ve gone for under 2.5 in both the Granada v Rayo Vallecano and Zaragoza v Getafe matches.

In the French league we’ve taken two unders as this league has a tendency to produce low scoring matches. Ajaccio v Auxerre and Brest v Nice we’ve gone for the under 2.5 goals option.

Last up and we thought a return to the Serie A would give us some added variety. Cesena v Novara we’ve gone for the under 2.5 option as both sides seenu to be a bit goal shy this season. In the big one, AC Milan v Inter Milan, we’ve given AC Milan a 0.5 handicap in the hope that they keep their unbeaten home record in tact. 

So there you have it, our sports bet of the week for the European and British football leagues. The total odds for the sports bet are $83.47 and we also suggest taking each of the legs separately. Or, lowering the odds for the overs and unders by decreasing the total goals and covering the possibility of any anomalies.

Let us know what you think of this sports bet, or if you have any multibets of your own feel free to share them below.

Good luck and happy punting!
