Betting Case Study: Richmond VS Collingwood Round 4, 2011 – Post Game

Here are the post-game results if you placed $1 on all of the bets sportingbet offered for the Friday night clash with the Tigers and Pies. If you missed the previous post check out the pre-game sportingbet odds and bets you could have made for the Richmond VS Collingwood game.

  • Pies 40+ $1.60
  • Game points over 190 $1.90
  • Pies over 27 points half time $2
  • Pies over 37 half time $2.65
  • Pies first quarter $1.18
  • Pies first points $1.62
  • Pies first behind as first points $3.30
  • First goalscorer Dale Thomas $17
  • Pies First to 15 points $1.22
  • Pies/Pies half time/full time $1.18
  • Most Goals – Riewoldt and Swan tied with 4 each paying $3.25 and $19. So you would get half. $1.625 and $9.50. Let’s just assume you picked Swan as it’s paying more so $9.50.

11. Dead Heat Rules

11.1 A Dead Heat occurs where two or more participants in an event tie for first and second place.
In the event of two selections having a Dead Heat, the customer’s stake is split with half the stake applied to the winning selection and the other half lost. With more than two selections, the stake is split proportionately.

http://www.sportingbet.com/t/info/rules/rules.aspx

  • Pies to lead at end of each quarter $1.20
  • Total match goals 34 or more $5.50
  • Total match points 221 points or more $4.50
  • Pies over 15 points $1.12
  • Pies over 24 points $1.22
  • Pies over 39 points $1.60
  • Total Match points odd $1.95
  • Pies score first points and win $1.77
  • Pies over 60 points $2.20
  • Pies over 60 points (10 goal hiding) $2.20
  • Winning margin Pies over 60 points $2.20
  • Most disposals group A – Deledio and Swan tied. Deledio has better odds @ $10 so you’d win $5
  • Most disposals group B – Didak, Jackson and Newman tie at 26. Newman better odds at $10 so you’d win $3.33
  • First Goalscorer/Winning margin Thomas/Pies over 60 $38
  • Riewoldt more goals than behinds $1.41
  • King more goals than behinds $1.75
  • Nahas didn’t score so money back $1
  • Brown more goals than behinds $1.57
  • Cloke more behinds than goals $2
  • Beams more goals than behinds $1.81
  • Swan more goals than behinds $1.77
  • Didak more goals than behinds $1.41
  • Riewoldt last goalscorer $9

If you placed $1 single bet on each of these you would have walked away with $137.29 this (includes initial $1 wagered on each bet)

Total of 34 bets so a profit of $103.29 if you bet 100%! Obviously you could have multi’d a few of them but you can’t multi them all.

I didn’t go so well personally. My results:

  • Won my Riewoldt more goals than behinds $1.41
  • Got partial money for Didak and Swan for most disposals (as it was a dead heat/tie) $2.33 and $1
  • Pies first points and win match $1.77
  • Pies first to 15 points $1.22
  • Collingwood behind first score $3.30
  • Collingwood first points $1.62

I staked $22 on the game and ended up with $12.65. Thought I had beams for last goalscorer in the bag until Didak and Riewoldt kicked the last 2 within the last 50 seconds. Check out the other bets I made for the Tigers/Pies game.

How did you go with your bets?! Any punts for the rest of the week?
