What are the chances of all the away teams winning their Currie Cup games this weekend, or Deon Fourie scoring the first try in Durban? Unlikely, but worth a dabble if the odds are right hey?
Griquas have fallen off the bus toward the backend of the tournament, but a lot of this year’s Currie Cup games have been tighter than a grasshopper’s hamstring, making it tough for the bookies to offer enticing odds … And that is no different this weekend …
13/20 on the Sharks, or 5/4 on WP …
8/10 on the Cheetahs or even money on the Bulls …
Tough to make a buck on those bloody odds, so in a new feature on the Grunt called “How do you like dem odds” we take a look at a few odds from BetFlash that might indeed see you putting a few bob down …
Got to be in it to win it as they say in the classics …
9/2 – Bulls to Qualify for Semi`s … Agreed, it is unlikely, especially in Bloem, but with Serfontein and JJ as the centres, and Engelbrecht at 8, stranger things have happened …
30/1 – All AWAY Currie Cup teams to win … WP and the Bulls definitely have a shot, but it is those pesky troops from Kimberley who have transferred focus to the promo relegation games who make this highly unlikely, but R300 back for a R10 punt!
5/1 on Deon Fourie to Score 1st Try against Sharks and 2/1 on Catrakilis to Score a Drop Goal against Sharks … WP start with a deep kick off which the Sharks stuff up. WP set up the maul from the resultant lineout 8m out, and it’s just a matter of course that Fourie gets the try under a minute into the game … Not that far fetched a tale is it? Full round of Jan Braai’s boerrie back if you put R10 down on that one!
Or how about these three little Flashpots:
25/1 – Lions win, Sharks Draw, Cheetahs win
25/1 – Lions win, WP win, Cheetahs Draw
200/1 – Lions win, Sharks Draw, Cheetahs Draw
2K back on a R10 punt if we get draws in Durban and Bloem. Look, the odds are long for a reason, but how many bum squeakers have we had this season. Just imagine the braai you could put on for your mates next week with 2 grand! And the tales you could tell about hosting it because of a little 10 buck wager!
All above odds available on the BetFlash site …
