So far I have had 2 incorrect calls in the Sportspicks competition and both being me going against WP (I'm a fanatical WP supporter). WP have really surpsised me. I was expecting that we would struggle early on in the CC. Start believing son! Away to the Leopards this weekend and anything from 25 and under I will back WP to cover the cap.

Anyway, was a good weekend for me on the rugby betting. Had a bet on the Sharks on the handicap and also on them on the outright win. Made back all I lost on the Boks last week.

Looking forward to this weekend's caps!

CC odds out at Betx. Had a quick look and I think the bet of the weekend is WP at -22 against the Leopards.
I believe WP will go for the kill here after missing out on the bonus point against the Lions.
This spread won't last, so take it now!!

Tri Nations preview is up http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/rugby/t … frica.html

I have gone for the Aussies at 9/10 with WSB and will wait for conditions before deciding on spreads.

Agree Logan that -22 will be hoovered up.

Hanrick I like the game that you know and I think you are smoking something.

As an aside, how is it possible in a round robin event like the Currie Cup that one team starts the campaign with three away fixtures?

Haha! Cats, everything points to an Aussie win so chances are good that I'm wrong and will lose some money, but I'm going to have a bet on the Boks to win outright. Just waiting for some more odds. Best I've seen so far is 23/20 at Mbet.

Yeah it is strange that the cubs start with 3 away games. Do you reckon John Mitchell will turn your fortunes around this year, Cats?

Hi folks, new here.

I've been using sportsbet since the world cup soccer, and have had mixed success. Their odds aren't great, however i guess it's a good place to start out.

I'm a  lions fan, and i expect a loss for the lions. Sportsbet has the odds for the game as follows.

Win Griquas 0.65
Win Lions 1.3

still pondering on AUS or SA - I think whoever you choose ,the win by 1-12 [ @ 1.8 ] might be an option , I can see the game going down to the wire but a late try might srew up that bet.

Hanrick in my very humble opinion the Lions need to sort out their house before any coach can get success there.  I said after the British Lions game in 2008 that the Gauteng Lions had no pride in the jersey.  Players like Bryan Habana,Jaque Fourie and Jaco Pretorius who are all home bred Lions, left the province in indecent haste. Why is this?  All of them felt they could further their careers elsewhere.  A sorry state of affairs. I hear the administration is a disaster and Kevin de Klerk has a huge task on his hands.  We lost 32-0 to WP last week and I understand we were lucky to get the 0 we were so kak.

I cant see Griquas losing at home to this sorry team, Mitchell or not.

Looks like I am going along with the majority this week. Friday night preview up - http://www.goodforthegame.co.za/rugby/c … views.html

Like Pumas +29.5 and although the early value is gone the -25.5 WP may still be worth a play.

My focus in this game will be on the spreads though as the Leopards consistently concede 40+ points a game.

Well put Cats. There's definitely something wrong at the Lions and it's sad that a union that was so strong in the 90's are in shambles. Just have to look at the Lions' u/19 and u/21 results and you'll see it's not just the senior side. There's something wrong with the whole union. Reminds me of the Kobus vd Merwe days at WP. Like you said, Griquas  should be too strong at home and I have taken some of the 15/20 at Victor Chandler.

Other bets this weekend:

On the Pumas +29.5 @ 9/10 at Mbet.
On WP -23 @ 8/10 at GO.
On Boks to win by under 12.5 points @ 18/10 at WSB.
And then I'm also with you on the Cheetahs, Brent. This is a cracking bet and also my best bet of the weekend! Have taken the Cheetahs +10.5 @ 9/10 at WSB.

Catsmug Killer bet for the weekend,

Shaggers into Griquas into the Bulls. 33/10.

Get on, get rich

I am high on WP shirts at 66 for a unit

May press before kick off as reckon the blue and white hoops run wild tonight.

Apologies, I see its total shirts at 88. 

Cheers Mr J - I have taken another 0.5 unit on WP shirts at 68 and also 0.75 unit Pumas shirts at 21 - I can't explain why but I love those Pumas 

Brent, Shirts now @ 80, Sell, Sell, Sell!!!!!

One bad call by the ref in the WP game and I'm down 100 units. Incredible!!!!!!!!

I think most of us are licking our wounds after tonights game, was curtains for me when Leopards scored that intercept try-felt sick to the stomach!!!

Crazy stuff - 2 mins to go and they are 29 points up and number 20 SHOULD score - how does he not? From the scrum, the ref is clueless and calls the ball out when it is firmlu under 8's feet ???
Thought I got outta jail when he missed the conversion
I am on the Boks today at 1.12/1 foer the outright. Beware the wounded Bok! We are gonna bully those shaggers!

this has the slight whiff of an emotional bet but going to join you Popgun on Boks, 5 units @ 11/10 outright. Also 1 unit Habana 1st tryscorer at 12/1.

go bokke...!?

I am high on Aussie shirts at 28, when Cooper plays I buy shirts!

I was on Aus but agree the ref was shocking - very inconsistent.

Boks were poor though and I can't believe Aus only scored 2 tries in the end - small loss on shirts 

I am dying on shirts in this one and Griquas playing badly. Going to go down kicking and screaming though and now high on Griquas shirts at 19 - hoping they hang onto the ball into the wind.

Thanks BB

An indication of how disproportional my spread stakes are to fixed odds is that despite calling both Currie Cups and the Aus win today I went down on the day.

Lost alot in the Griquas game on shirts but let me tell you that Cheetahs try was a massive swing for me in all directions (spreads and fixed odds and all upwards) - wife was amazed at the mood change, from suicidal to ecstatic - when you get out of jail like I did there it actually feels as good as a massive win.

Great switch of direction from Johnson - he had a blinder.

Thx for the tips Brent...made a heap of money!!New to sports betting and learned a lot reading this forum.Listened to your show on Thursday gr8 show too!.......Went and placed bets with local bookie,hehehehe...not to friendly!Love taking money from them!

Thanks for the tip on Cheetahs Brent. Tailed you on that one. your preview of games are very helpful to me.
