R1500 risk free first rugby bet!

Sports betting is growing in popularity in South Africa with a number of new players coming into the market. One of the big challenges we have noted is that many would-be punters are reluctant to make that first step and actually open an account and make their first bet.

The team from Sportingbet have an interesting promotion on the go at the moment. If you open an account with them and make a losing first bet, they will refund you up to R1500 of your first bet. That's not a bad deal, especially if you can land a really good call at your first attempt.

You can punt from as little as R8 a bet and the interface is very user friendly.

Punting on the Boks

I don't think that there is any doubt that the Boks will beat Scotland this afternoon - I guess the only real issue is by how far.

It is not even worth putting money down on the Boks to win.

The Boks are minus a couple of key players and one of the most interesting markets is around the first try-scorer.

I like Lwazi Mvovo (8/1) to score on debut, Juan Smith (20/1) and Francois Hougaard (18/1) to get the first points 5 pointer on the board.

C'mon the Boks!

Rugby sports betting selections

It is the last round of the Super 14 and it looks like it is going to go down to the wire this year. There has been some grumbling about the Bulls sending their "second stringers" to take on the Stormers in Cape Town this weekend, but the reality is that the sides grumbling the most are those who need the Bulls to beat the Cape side.

So here are our selections for this week:

Crusaders vs Brumbies:
This should be an absolutely cracking game of rugby. Picking a winner here is incredibly difficult so we've decided to stick with the home side sneaking in. Prediction - Crusaders win

Waratahs vs Hurricanes
Excuse the pun for the moment but the Hurricanes blow very hot and cold. Hopefully they are on form and deal with the whinging Aussie side tomorrow. Prediction - Hurricanes to surprise

Sharks vs Western Force
Can't see the Sharks losing in front of their home crowd. Last weekend they showed they were a much better side than the results they had dished up. Sharks to win comfortably.

Blues vs Chiefs
Another tricky fixture. Every time I have backed the Blues they've dropped the ball. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, but wouldn't be surprised if I call it wrong. Blues to win

Reds vs Highlanders
The Reds have it all to play for. The Highlanders have blown a fuse and I can't see them winning this one. Reds to win.

Cheetahs vs Lions
Touched on the Cheetahs spirit in one of the previous blog posts. These guys deserve to go out on a high and the Lions should be buried without Baywatch there to throw his heart around

Stormers vs Bulls
It might be a contentious fixture but the Stormers will be going all out for a win. Losing in front of a packed Newlands is not an option so expect the Stormers to win.

Rugby betting - Super 14

There is an interesting weekend of Super 14 rugby ahead of us and we have made some controversial picks for this weekends fixtures.

We're backing all the home teams to come in:

• Highlanders vs Waratahs - it is hard work to come to the House of Pain at this point in the season


• Stormers vs Crusaders - Mouthwatering fixture but its hard to look beyond the Stormers at Newlands


• Hurricanes vs Chiefs - Another interesting fixture but the bumps and bruises will add up for the Chiefs?


• Brumbies vs Reds - From a South African perspective the Brumbies would do us all a favour and knock the Reds back


• Cheetahs vs Blues - The Cheetahs can take heart from their last fixture of a hard tour. They might surprise here


• Lions vs Force - The Lions have to come good at some point this season and the Force look like they're going to be the team they do it against


• Bulls vs Sharks -.... Sharks = FISH PASTE... that's all I am saying on the subject!

Happy punting!

Super 14 selections

A colourful weekend in the Super 14 with three tough games to call.

Game 1
The Chiefs take on the Stormers in the first match. We're backing the Stormers to deliver the goods here. Chiefs are unpredictable and if the Stormers shift from the tried and tested game plan there could be some serious heartache

Game 2
The Brumbies take on the Hurricanes. I'm backing the Brumbies with a combination of home-ground advantage and perhaps a little less flamboyant play-making which will hopefully see them home. With Giteau at 10 it is hard to bet against them.

Maybe back Giteau for a try or points as well.

Game 3
The Blues versus the Force is one the first of the really tricky fixtures to call. We backed the Blues early on for a crack at the play-offs and they've pretty much (literally) dropped the ball in the big fixtures. The Force blow super hot and cold and nobody quite knows which side is going to rock up - go high on points here.

Game 4
It doesn't matter whether Dan Carter arrives for the Crusaders to take on the Cheetahs it's going to be one way traffic....in fact it probably doesn't matter whether the subs bench for the Crusaders arrive - they probably won't be needed. Cheetahshave lost before they've begun.

Game 5
THIS is a super tricky game. The Bulls may be the pace-setters but the Reds are a team that most would rather not play thisseason. Quade Cooper is looking dangerous and home ground advantage coupled with a sense that the Bulls are beatable, I'm backing the Reds to spring a surprise here.

Game 6
Sharks fans aren't going to like it, but the local derby is going to throw up the biggest surprise of the weekend when the Lions turn them into Fish Paste. It is a mistake to think this Lions side is short of talent - when their backs are up against the wall they will let pure adrenaline take them on.

Don't hate the player - hate the game!

Exciting weekend of Super 14

A couple of exciting games in the Super 14 this weekend. The Brumbies vs. Chiefs game should be a cracker. We’re backing the Brumbies to pip the Chiefs with homeground advantage.

The Hurricanes are also taking on the Sharks and with the tour being largely unproductive for the Sharks, we’re betting that the Hurricanes will run out comfortable winners.

It will also be interesting to see how the Bulls do in their first game on the road. They take on the Force so its a relatively easy start for them.

On the local front, we are bullish about the Cheetahs prospects against the Reds. The Australian side have been handy but Meyer Bosman and the guys from the Free State have actually put up quite a good account of themselves at home and this will be one of the last opportunities for them to rack up some points at home!

Our predictions:

• Highlanders to beat the Lions
• Brumbies to beat the Chiefs
• Cheetahs to beat the Reds
• Hurricanes to beat the Sharks
• Blues to beat the Waratahs
• Bulls to beat the Force

Definately an interesting weekend of rugby!

Another round of Super14 is here

It’s Super 14 rugby action again this week this week.

The Blues vs the Brumbies is the trickiest of the games to call. We’ve been backing the Blues from the start of the tournament and they have failed to deliver, while the Brumbies have also blown very hot and cold.

Our picks:

• Brumbies to beat the Blues
• Bulls to beat the Hurricanes
• Crusaders to thump the Lions
• Highlanders to beat the Sharks
• Stormers to beat the Cheetahs
• Waratahs to beat the Western Force

Happy punting!
