THE COOLER: PREMIER LEAGUE, CAPE TOWN CITY, RYDER CUP, TIGER WOODS, …
We’re back and Friday editions of the The Cooler always go at over run a ball as the team prepare for the weekend action. Join us from stories straight from BET Central as we gear up for Premier League, Absa Prem and much more.
Send us your hot takes, views and opinions to @betcoza on Twitter with the #BETCentral!
Take a look at some of the science that goes into us compiling our Premier League BET Boosts. We highlight four crackers from this weekend and give you some background.
BET BOOSTS: PREMIER LEAGUE GAME WEEK 6
Last week Twitter exploded with a beef between Cape Town City and Kick Off Magazine. Despite some great entertainment, it raised the question about whether Cape Town City could be considered on of South Africa’s Big Four.

One of our key Twitter follows is Racing Pete, an online tipster for UK horse racing. You’ll often find BET Central buying into a few of Racing Pete’s tips in the afternoon and enjoying some racing to end the day – he’s pretty sharp. He also cracked us up with this GIF this morning.
It’s Friday

The Big Lebowski turns 20 this week and, while it might not have anything to do with sports (bowling aside) or sports betting, it’s definitely worth taking a few minutes to read a bit about it on The Ringer.
Twenty years later, ‘The Big Lebowski’ still holds up. But that’s just, like, our opinion, man: https://t.co/ucJJqKLDau pic.twitter.com/urx9TO12LK — The Ringer (@ringer) September 21, 2018
If you thought Tiger Woods was pleased just to be at the Tour Championship, imagine how he’s feeling today after tying Rickie Fowler for the first round lead with a five-under round. Don’t forget our Tiger Woods BET Boost.
“I think the season itself has been amazing. To be able to have played this well after coming off of what I came off of. I didn’t know how many tournaments I’d play in, and next thing you know, here I am in the Tour Championship.” – Tiger Woods ⛳#TOURChampionship pic.twitter.com/980vlc41Jn

Show yourself to not be down with the latest trends online here at BET Central and risk being called an “Uncle”. It’s an endearing term, but with a team always on the lookout for the hippest online happenings it’s a tag you want to avoid picking up too often. Chad, our social media maestro, is currently in love with ‘the thread on Twitter’ and that means you need to get hip with it!
A thread keeps all relevant info in one place and you’ll see Chad dropping you some serious intel on things like the Premier League by following our threads on Twitter. What’s not to like?
When Uncles like me got involved, Twitter was still 140 characters! It’s a big improvement being able to follow a conversation in one thread. Try it out.
