Enjoy a bet on the football?

Frustrated by finding out a key bit of information that may have swayed your bet after the game is already over?

Then Betting Mate is what you’re looking for. Betting Mate is a website designed to help the average punter bet on the Football.

We’ve had an excellent record betting on the football in the past two seasons, and this year, our weekly bets will be on display for you every week – absolutely free!

Why start Betting Mate? 

Because for years we bet on the football just like, thousands of others, with our bets based on what the experts said, who they tipped and who was in form.  Sometimes we got it right, most of the time we got it wrong. 

So what’s happened in the past two seasons – returns of 30% and 40% both years respectively – that’s what. 

And how?

Firstly, history is always a good guide to determine whether a team is a good bet or not.  If a team’s has had a good record against another in the past 3 – 4 years, that’s always a good start for us. 

Secondly, what is their record like at the venue, in the last couple of years, as well as how have they gone during the day or night?

Thirdly – don’t get sucked in by teams in good form against teams playing poorly.  Those bets are fraught with danger – and that’s where the opportunity to make money comes. 

Finally, don’t always bet for a win or loss.  A rubbish umpiring decision, or a poor kick for goal can snap defeat from the jaws of victory.  (Think about Fev’s shot on goal last year against the Hawks). 

We look at all different types of bets during the week, but line betting is something that you can take advantage of, and make you some good cash if you’re not 100% sure of who’s going to win. 

Don’t spend days scouring the internet looking for what each teams recent record has been against another. Don’t waste hours tuned into the radio just to hear whether a certain player is playing, and whether that team won without him the last time the two sides met.

Have a look at our bets each week – we’ll give you the teams we’re betting on, what type of bet we’re doing, and which bookie we’re punting with. 

You can choose to follow or not – it’s your choice.  But to help you make a decision as to whether we know what we’re talking about – we’ll keep a record of our bets for the season.  And you can judge for yourself whether we’re worthwhile following. 

Good luck for season 2010.  Check our home page each Friday or Saturday for our bets for the weekend – and check our yearly performance page to see how we’ve gone week to week. 

We love the punt on the footy – we reckon you do to – so please feel free to correspond with us at admin@bettingmate.com.au. 

We’ll post our thoughts on the Brownlow, and Supercoach and Dreamteam as well.  And anyone who emails us with a hot tip or great information will get their tip posted on the site (and a very big thankyou if you tip a winner).
