The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 17th to 19th April including the United Rugby Championship
Bordeaux delivered the win last weekend and when Wout Van Aert won Paris Roubaix (I only had the top 3 unfortunately) things were looking good for a bumper weekend with Lowry and Young going well in the golf.
Lowry must have heard I had money on him to get a top 5 because he disappeared quickly and although Young looked like delivering in the “Without McIlroy market” he limped home.
What a great Sunday night of golf we got though and a pretty good weekend all around.
There is Super Rugby Pacific and URC rugby this weekend and I will also be keeping an eye on the EPL, PSL and the Amstel Gold cycling.
THE HANDICAP
I was joined by The Mossman who almost missed the show due to the clocks being reset and The Oracle who had us all scratching our heads on the Daylight Savings.

WEEKEND PLAYS
I am going to diversify a bit this weekend (throwing in a PSL bet) and will continue evaluating the rugby betting model I started testing for a Goodforthegamer last week.
At the time of writing I am still waiting for points lines on Saturdays games (it is pouring in Joburg by the way) and I will post all bets in the URC blog.
All Super Rugby Pacific bets will be posted here
Friday Night Interest
Can you believe 3 games kick off at the same time tonight?
I will be watching the Dragons v Bulls where I am on the home team unders but my bigger play is unders in Belfast where Ulster take on a Leinster side missing some big guns.
There is some rain forecast before the game and while it might clear come kick off this has tended to be an unders fixture and it would of arrived in 4 of the last 5 head to heads and the last 2 in Belfast.
BET: 2.5 units (1-5) under 49.5 points at Ulster v Leinster at 10/11 at WSB
I have taken a break from acca’s but I reckon its time to get involved again
A 34/1 Rugby Acca!
Dragons under 16.5 at 5/6
Tribet any other result (either team by 7 of less) Chiefs v Canes at 9/4
Glasgow win at 3.15
Scarlets -1.5 at 1.87
0.5 unit down at 34/1 at WSB – if you want to throw some beer money at this here is the code 5549640
Kaizer Chiefs to go 6/6
Kaizer Chiefs fell out of PSL title contention with a mid-season slump but they have come back strong and have now won 5 in a row. They face a Polokwane team that has lost form badly and I am happy to back the visitors at odds-against to make it 6.
BET: 2 units (1-5) Chiefs win at 13/10 at Hollywoodbets
