The Cooler: BOK BALLS-UP, HAZARD ON FIRE, MTN8 ORACLE, SUPER BEAUDEN…

You’ll be glad to hear BET Central survived the storms in Cape Town with only minor flooding. The good news is our putting green was unaffected so the mood remains high as we face a new week.

You’re with us here on The Cooler where we will dig into the biggest talking points from the weekend that was and look ahead to where the best sports betting will be in the week ahead.

Dive into the conversation – Neymar style – by getting in touch with @betcoza on Twitter with the #BETCentral!

It was definitely a case of youth triumphing over experience this week with 24-year-old Thathe Msimango, in his first BET Central piece, predicting two out of two results in the MTN8 Cup.

Thathe even called an exact score with the 1-0 in the Cape Town City game and picked the draw in the Chiefs game. Solid predicting. We’ll be keeping an eye on his stuff that’s for sure.

Here’s a great post from the folk at Planet Football who’ve combined 15 great footy moments from the past weekend. We’re always on the lookout for a good read and give recommend you check this one out.

Recently I was trying to get my head around these newfangled Instagram stories from some of the youngsters here at BET Central.

“The feed is dead. Stories is where its at.” I was reliably informed before being hit with the pitying look you give your uncle when he asks help with his “Whats Up?”

I might still be a bit of an Uncle and not quite understand exactly what’s going on there, but I do know that the team are pushing out some brilliant betting stories there.

Well researched statistics and potential betting angles combined with the best sporting images – what’s not to like?

Percy Tau scored on his full European debut with this little ripper. We also enjoyed the enthusiastic handshake afterwards.
