The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 25th to 27th August and a 20/1 acca with @WorldSportsBet
I ended up finishing just in front last weekend thanks to following @SouthpawZA Forum pick of the Boks over 3.5 tries and Malcolm Marx to score the 1st try.
I didn’t have any joy with my last try scorer picks, although I really thought I was in business when South Africa got that penalty in the final minute only to kick for posts despite being miles ahead. I had hoped for a kick into the 22 and Bongi to be the bus conductor as it rumbled over the line.
There is plenty of rugby to look forward to this weekend, but there is also plenty of other sport so I am going to spread my bets around a bit and will go easy on the rugby.
WELCOME BOYLESPORTS
Irish giant Boylesports has launched in South Africa and we are very excited to have them on board as one of our bookmaker partners.
I have been testing their site for a few weeks in particular their rugby betting and have concluded that they are a must have for any South African rugby punter.

THE HANDICAP
I was a guest of Pokerbet at last night’s MSC Sport’s Quiz and it was a great evening with a brilliant format. It meant I couldn’t host The Handicap and so did the show earlier today at midday which allowed me to get a New Zealand guest @CornflakeBTP to join me.
We had a great chat about the All Blacks v Boks game and also touched on the other Internationals including France v Australia.

It was a great turnout in the live chat given the late time change and it got me thinking that a Friday lunchtime show could be worth serious consideration.
MANIE TO FIND HIS RANGE
In the interests of keeping stakes a bit lower in the build up to RWC I am going with one of the “Specials” on offer tonight.
Mannie Libbok is under massive pressure after another indifferent kicking display last week. Most fans have written him off but I personally don’t think he is too far from finding some consistency and I am hoping the Boks give him every chance to do just that tonight.
I am taking a stab that he scores at least 9 points in the game.
BET: 3 units Manie Libbok over 8.5 points at 10/11 at Sportingbet*
