    Just signed up to covers - have been punting on AUS sports, US sports and football for over a decade and hoping to both share some knowledge and hear others views & thoughts to make some money.

    First bet:

    Adelaide v Wellington

    Adelaide have been hanging in there after the Asian Champions league success. I think most people expected a bit of a hangover from that success, but its time to get down to business and I expect Adelaide to take the three points against a Wellington side that has exceeded expectations over the past 3 rounds.

    Wellington have had good wins over Sydney, Newcastle and Melbourne over the past 3 weeks, but the law of averages (especially in the A-league) would suggest that the wins will come to an end soon. Hindmarsh is a tough place to get the points and I think $1.72 is a good price for a good home team.

    1 unit on Adelaide at $1.72

    I will probably play the nbl also but will post in a separate thread.

    Good luck!!

    Good luck sydneypunter and welcome to the forum
     
    Not sure about this game yet, Adelaide were extremely lucky to snatch a point from a very understrength Newcastle outfit last week and I'm not convinced Wellington are overrated.

    I agree, Adelaide were lucky to get a last minute point, but the fact they are at home, and the fact that NZ just can't keep up their current form makes me lean toward Adelaide. The risk is a draw, but there is no value in draw no bet.

    Good luck with whatever u take.

    What are we thinking in the totals department. Sometimes its virtually impossible to pick a total in the A-League. One week its unders next there are goals coming from each way.

    Exactly Cash. I've been burned with totals left and right.
     
    I'd lean over, but then again I would always lean over
