The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 27th to 29th January 2023
We got off to a rocky start last week with the Stormers falling just short of the handicap despite a great start to the 2nd half. I must admit to battling with the European rugby with team selections very unpredictable and coming out so late.
Unless I am confident in team selections, I will take a more conservative view and wait for them in coming weeks before getting involved. Thank goodness we have 6 Nations next week where we can count on everyone being a full strength and wanting to beat England!

BEST BET
You thought I was never going to get there.
There has been plenty of money for the Sharks away to Edinburgh this week but the market seems to have settled with the hosts marginal favourites. I took 12/10 Sharks in the GFTG preview and a few shrewdies managed to get on +6.5 when the betting came out.
The Sharks team has since been announced and it is not as strong as I had hoped with their big Boks being rested. It still looks a pretty impressive side though and with some pressure to deliver I think they can beat an Edinburgh side missing loads of players.
The 12/10 Sharks has gone and I am reducing my stake slightly (I have 6 units on but after team news am only suggesting 4 units at a slightly lower price)
BET: 4 units Sharks win at 1.14/1 at Betway
No acca this week due to time pressures and my not really strong on much but it will be back for sure in the 6 Nations
Have a great punting weekend whether poker, horse racing or sport
