Link to the Currie Cup and Tri Nations betting update - Australia out to 7/1 from 9/2 without even taking the field

I picked the wrong game to lump onto the Boks last week. Got burned!

Wouter if you're interested, I see Greatodds have the Boks at 3/1 to win the game and the handicap is +10.

Needless to say, I'm not getting involved. Might change my mind later in the week, but at this stage my confidence is way to low to make a call.

The less said about last week, the better I got burnt too

Onto the CC week 2, the bet of the weekend has to be the Pumas -3 vs the Leopards !

RB I agree 100% with you that is a handicap that will not last - only problem is due to my spread betting I only have a phone in a/c with Betxchange and it is too late to get hold of them (no live sport tonight)so I will have to hope it is still there in the morning 

You have a point there Cats (I phoned early this morning and they suspended while I was on the line) but I have a feeling that RB had his fill before posting?

Thats certainly my policy - take the price and then share the value

The -3 was certainly there all night so for guys with online accounts it could have certainly been snapped up and the fact that they suspended first thing this morning suggested it was.

Thats your call of course, my point was just that assuming RB took what he wanted then he is not harming himself by posting it here.

He is perhaps helping a few other guys to get the value and when the price changes as in this case it was always going to (WSB went 10.5) he is losing nothing because he already has the stock.

Take the price, make the post not the other way around

WSB has the Leopards @ +10,5 .Not bad for a side which finished above Pumas in the Vodacom Cup!Fancy the Bulls at 9/10 on BetX though.

I have looked at the spreads and I believe the Griqas at +10 is real value. It seems the Cheetahs are slow starters and the Griquas are a decent team. That sp looks to big a number.

I won't be surprized if the bookies take a look here, I know I do and I'm a very strong believer in following your own head.
I think Betx made a mistake with that Pumas spread and good luck to those that got onto it.

Friday night Currie Cup Preview - Cheetahs v Griquas http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/rugby/c … iquas.html

I am actually leaning towards the Cheetahs having been with Griquas early doors.

Hi guys some stats from last weeks game.  Metres gained The Blacks = 1229 The Boks = 507.  Boks missed a shocking 30 tackles.  I didn't punt last week and again uncertain this week.  I think back to last year when the boks won the 1st test v the All Blacks all said the All Blacks would bounce back.  However the Boks beat them 31 - 19 in the second test.  I agree with Brent and Logan, All Blacks to win but not by much.  2.50 for and All Black win by between 1 - 12 points for me I think

currie cup 1st division ep vs border bulldogs :
hi guys , have never placed a bet on the 1st division before , saw betx have EP @ -4.
read an article that said the bulldogs have only beaten EP once in their last 10 meetings. of what i've heard it seems that the things are looking a bit brighter in the kings [EP] rugby and must say they were no walk over when the bulls played them 2 weeks ago. i think E.P kings with de wet barry running the show are a descent bet at -4 betx.
ps. kick off 3pm and televised

Wouter, do great minds think alike??

We typed the same thing. Good stuff!!!!

Good stuff lads, missed the thread but well done.

Not getting involved in the spreads for 1st half of Cheetahs game - still toasting the TDF stage!

I have seriously never see such a run of loose head props scoring - a hatrick I mean come on    and last week there were 3 loose head tries as well - testing time for shirt buyers but at least loss was bearable.

And as for Griquas snatching the handicap, think I will stick with Le Tour this weekend....

The worst performance by a ref I have seen in 5 years. Shocking!! The Boks can't win against such biased officials.

I am high on Pumas shirts at 46.5 with WOS

Will also buy WP shirts at around 32 although I believe conditions could be soft underfoot due to rain in week.

LOL Logan , were  away for the weekend. I was very very impressed by E.P in the firts half , some of the best attacking rugby I have seen all year , but just as impressive as they were in the 1st , they were shocking on defense in the 2nd.
in anycase I think there's some money to be made on the 1st division [ like the the varsity cup ] , there's not too much knowledge out there , and a lot of guessing going on  , thus opening the door for some value handicaps.
E.P , GRIFFONS and BOLAND the teams to watch out for.
