The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 4th to 6th August including an acca with @WorldSportsBet
The Rugby Championship is done and dusted and all I can say from a punting point of view is thank goodness as I just couldn’t catch it right. Last week’s Best Bet was a case in point and early on I thought the Boks looked well set to run in plenty of points, but in the end they were left hanging on just to win the game.
THE HANDICAP
There is plenty of International Rugby this weekend, but as @OraclePedia and I discussed punters are advised to tread carefully as everything from here on in is about World Cup preparation. It doesn’t mean there won’t be opportunities to make money though.
It was great to have the Oracle back in action!

MACKEM’S MONEY MAKER (MMM)
Chris (Mackem on the forum) is very much into his horses these days and his boy, Royal Victory ran 4th in a feature race down in Durban last weekend. He is going to keep his eye on things and when he fancies something on the weekend will send his bet through and I will include it in the newsletter
MMM: Turffontein, Race 4, No2 Atticus Finch
Currently 2/1 at Hollywood after an opening call of 33/10. Had a good win returning from a break last time out, lightly raced and still plenty of scope for improvement

FRENCH DEPTH TO SHINE THROUGH
After some deliberation France overs gets the nod as my Best Bet. They are missing a few stars but have such depth and I think the books could be underestimating them in Scotland. There is some rain about but the quote is low and I am backing the French to fire.
BET: 5 units France over 20.5 points at 8/10 at Playabets*
