The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 25th to 27th July
Last Week’s Recap – Unders Deliver!
Last week was a profitable one, with the newsletter unders double landing in the All Blacks and British & Irish Lions tests. I also hit Boks over 8.5 tries against Georgia—thanks to three late tries in the final six minutes!
Few things feel better than the resurrection of a bet long thought dead.
THE HANDICAP – Rugby Chat That Matters
I was joined by The Oracle last night and as always it was a great chat which "occasionally" moved off script
Catch the latest episode of The Handicap across our platforms:
TOUR DE FRANCE
The Tour has treated me well this year—although I got burnt in Stage 16 after backing a 4/10 shot, a move regular followers will know rarely ends well.
I hit a nice 12/1 match bet treble yesterday but had to endure the agony of waiting 37 minutes for the 3rd and final leg to be confirmed.
If you followed the newsletter play Roglic/Evenepoel at the start of the tour Evenepoel abandoned handing us the win there.
GOLD CUP DAY
Chris has previewed the entire Gold Cup Day card, bringing the curtain down on what’s been a superb racing season.
Madison Valley, a gallant 5th in the July, is fancied to go close at 5/1.
I also caught up with Hilton Hasson to go through the card and you can click here for the You Tube Gold Cup Preview
Newsletter Play: 2 units Diani no 14 in race 1 at 23/10 Top 4 at Hollywoodbets
Extract from Preview: A competitive looking opener over the mile. I Salute You, Winter Games and Narina Trogon are fairly closely matched on their Durban July day run over C&D and many others have claims. That includes Diani who is better off with a number of these on some of the more recent collateral form line. Drawing the widest gate is a concern but I wouldn't be surprised to see him running on to the finish and could be the value in the race.
RUGBY
The Currie Cup is back and we also have the 2nd Test between Australia and the British & Irish Lions.

I’m treading cautiously in the Currie Cup this week, but my main bet is on the Wallabies on the plus. I like the inclusion of Rob Valetini and Will Skelton, and in what’s expected to be wet conditions, I fancy them to keep things tight against the Lions.
BET: 4 units – Australia +10.5 at 0.88/1 at BetXchange
