The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 5th, 6th July
Well done to the punters who picked up I went England over 44.5 points instead of the Lions in Perth last week - it was way too early in the morning for the newsletter. The bet arrived by the skin of its teeth so I have some coin heading into a big betting weekend.
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBAN JULY
What is it about this race? It just keeps on getting bigger and I am always amazed at how many people want to get involved.
Chris (whose wife Natasha has a share in Royal Victory - 25/1) has you covered on the Goodforthegame site

I had the pleasure of doing 2 You Tube previews with Chris and Hilton and if you are not excited for the big race after listening to them then perhaps betting is not your thing LOL

I will be shouting (17) Royal Victory home in the July and will be taking swingers with (3) On my Honour (my mom also fancies this one) and (2) Madison Valley
The bet of the day though comes in the 10th race - both Hilton and Chris went for (4) Zeitz who at the time was just over 11/2 and such was their conviction it is no surprise to see it trading close to a 7/2 favourite - click here to jump to their analyses.
I am going to throw it into a double with On My Honour to run a top 4.
BET: 1 unit On my Honour 37/20 top 4 race 7 (July) onto Zeitz (R10) win at 3.56/1 = 12.05/1 at Hollywoodbets
TOUR DE FRANCE - still the greatest race on earth
The next 3 weeks will see me avoiding afternoon appointments to watch the likes of Pogacar and Vingegaard do battle. It is hard to look past the pair but I have a few long term plays in my Stage 1 and Outright Betting Preview on You Tube - note it is on the Goodforthegame Extra Channel so subscribe while you are there
1 long term play I really like is a match bet and I could have sworn I saw it posted in the forum but cannot find it now - perhaps it was a dream.
BET: 2 units Roglic/Evenepoel at 16/10 at Betxchange - this is over the full race and I just feel Evenepoel is going to battle at some point
and then here is a 20/1 play to hopefully keep my interest
BET: 1 unit Straight Forecast Pogacar 1 and Roglic 2 at 20/1 at WSB
THE HANDICAP - still the greatest show on earth
It was great to welcome Pablo back from his self imposed betting exile and he and I chatted Rugby internationals on Thursday night.
If you missed the show the replay is up on Planet Stream - click here to watch
There is big rugby this weekend and we have full previews on 3 matches

WEEKEND PLAYS
I am very much in the overs camp this weekend and I particularly like New Zealand to put the hammer down against France in what we know will be good conditions in Dunedin.
I expect the French to come out hard but the All Blacks can punish them for leaving their big boys at home.
BET: 5 units New Zealand over 40.5 points at 8/10 at Sportingbet
THE WEEKEND RUGBY ACCA @11.6/1
B&I Lions over 52.5 at 17/20
Over 65.5 points Boks v Italy at 9/10
Georgia +14.5 v Ireland at 17/20
Argentina over 30.5 v England at 19/20
Bet: 1 unit at 11.68/1 at Hollywoodbets
That's it for me everyone, have a great day and lets hope that in amongst all the previews and videos are a few winners!
