Sharks -1.5 has got to be the bet of the weekend in the Currie Cup!

i'm on, 20 units Sharks -1.5 @ 9/10 (VC).

Don't let me down Sharkies! 

BetX were zero cap now Sharks -1

I'm in! Sharks to win at 9/10 at BetX - 22 units to win 20 units

Also like Lions + and Cheetahs -

Here is a link to Brent's preview of the Boks v Australia game

Hanrick, we are aligned this week 

Sharks win - 22.22 units to win 20 units at BetX
Sharks win/Aussies +8.5 - 10 units to win 24 units at BetX
Cheetahs -3.5 - 9.5 units to win 8.5 units at Mbet
Sharks win/Aussies +9.5/Cheetahs-3.5 - 2 units to win 11 units at Mbet

Quite a big one 

The Cheetahs-3.5 in Kimberley would have arrived in each of the last 4 years! Thats a stat you cannot ignore. Cheetahs unchanged from WP win and should be confident.

geez we're all on the Sharks, team announced looks strong, if the forwards play as well as they should then feel it's looking good for Sharks win.

My bet from earlier in week (didn't see the Betx price at time) - 20 units Sharks -1.5 @ 9/10.

Swerving on the Pumas v Leopards and Lions v WP games, think those could go either way on cap. Cheetahs seem a better bet, starting to get their act together.

Here is my Bulls v Sharks preview - very much rubber stamping the forums thoughts here and going for the Sharks.

Not many votes in yet but I see they are dominating the Best Bet Poll

Watching foxsports this morning there was a story that "snor" De Villiers is going to be sacked, regardless of the result tomorrow. Causing me to have a change of heart re the Bok chances.  Think I will see what the overs and unders are and make a call on that, still think that we could be in for a relatively low scoring match.

Thanks guys for the tips on Currie Cup - have gone Cheetahs too

Brent - good spot about the Cheetahs game live on Supersport website only.

Sometimes it pays to look into past results! Lions OWN Province at Ellis Park!

South here are WP's last 4 results at Ellis Park in the Currie Cup:
2009 - Lost 27-25 (Cap was Lions+6.5 that day)
2008 - Lost 27-13
2007 - Lost 19-16
2006 - Lost 42-36

Its amazing as the Lions have been mediocre in each of those years. WP just cannot play at Ellis Park? Bizarre!

Wow those Pumas cost me a great Friday start, though thank goodness they managed to sneak a victory so i atleast came out square with multiples on Cheetahs -3.5 and Pumas outright!! Probably a good thing we couldn't watch the game, as i'm sure i would have no nails left today.

Otherwise debating increasing my exposure to the Sharks game as i must say that i am feeling very confident that they can indeeed win this one, though predictions have most certainly not gone the way everyone expected them so far!!

was super-impressed with Lions improvement last night, some great tries. But where are the Lion fans, stadium looked a bit empty? Hopefully they'll start returning, a stronger Lions team is good for SA rugby and would be nice to see a non-SA team as the Super 15 whipping boys.

Well done Cheetahs -3.5 backers, hopefully Sharks do the business tonight!!

LOL welcome Mackem, must say the quotes are pretty high this week (shirts 62-67) - going to make a call in the next few minutes but starting to like Australia to win the game

Shocking Boks but Aussies playing a brand of rugby I love to watch - if World Cup 2011 was in SA on our dry fields I would say "watch out" it is not though so don't see them winning.

A bit annoyed with myelf for not backing Aus shirts for smalls at least but I did feel teh quote was a bit high so will live with that.

Whatever happens hopefully the Aussies can add a few this half and Mackem that last try was very important as keeping your spread hopes alive is concerned.

High Sharks shirts at 35 for a unit and sharks points at 29 for 2 units

Phwoar!!
Congrats Brent, nice one!!
I went with the Aussies at +9.5 @ 9/10 just before kick off, not quite as spectacular as your bets, but profit is profit I suppose 
Congrats once again, well played and well deserved!

       

not much else I can say about Sharks result, my worst ruggers punting weekend ever and only had 1 ruggers bet all weekend!     Boks loss just added to the pain.

Need to find some recovery punts today...

Coil were you reading my Tweets?

Seriously as much as a Bok win may have papered over the cracks so a Wallaby win has likley papered over theirs.

To let two big leads slip in successive weeks is criminal and having been sure he was the man upfront I now have serious doubts about Robbie Deans as the Aussie coach.

One thing I hate about rugby is how teams try and close games out by just holding onto position with a couple of minutes to play - I wish there was some way to prevent this and aside from being good for the pocket I was pleased that the Boks negativity was punished at the end.

Only saw the highlights of the Currie Cup matches tonight - I have long claimed Kockott is far too slow with his service and after that shocker of a pass my views have been reinforced - he is a liability in my view.
