The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 26th to 28th September including an 11.63/1 acca with @BetXchange
✅ What a Weekend!
Last weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a while, thanks to Griquas landing the 25/1 outright play in spectacular fashion.
I had already tweeted what a terrible way that was to lose a 25/1 bet when the TMO picked up the deliberate knockdown, and then George Whitehead, a player who until this season I never really rated, stepped up and nailed the penalty to win it.
I also bagged a nice win on Canada in the WRWC semis as they thumped the Black Ferns. My early England -19.5 play may have been the right call in terms of market movement (line went off at -24.5), but France really showed up. England were fortunate to win by 18, which thankfully landed the newsletter alternative cap double.

🎙 The Handicap
I was joined by The Crowe Tips and The Oracle on Thursday night. There was plenty of rugby to talk about and we also had an interesting chat on bet size.
Quick jumps from the show:
🟡 URC SuperBru Pool
We’re back! After a couple of years off, we are back with a URC SuperBru comp
We are a bit late to kick-off, so prizes are TBD (and not guaranteed), but it's free to join and always fun.

💣 Last Man Standing (Forum Comp)
I meant to launch this earlier in the week, but between watching my son play rugby in Pretoria and dealing with a cold, time got away from me.
The comp details will be up this weekend for a kick off next week.

🎯 Weekend Plays
It's a bit frustrating that Boks v Argentina clashes with Canada v England. Time to set up a second screen!
My focus this weekend is on longer prices and acca's.
🌧️ Points to Flow in Twickenham Curtain-Raiser
New Zealand and France both want to finish on a high after disappointing semi-finals. With conditions looking good and Twickenham what I would consider an overs venue, this should be a cracker.
