BET LIVE: PAKISTAN v NEW ZEALAND – 3rd Test, Day 2
New Zealand struggled to 229 for 7 on Day 1 and have continued to edge onwards (247-7 at time of writing) with Watling on 60* vital to their hopes of posting a decent first innings total.
BET: VAAL RACING – South African Horse Racing
Railtrip returns just 10 days after a disappointing feature run when contesting the 5th race at the Vaal today and although she faces stiff opposition in Tammany Hall and Artemisia, she could be a betting proposion at around 6/1.
BET: CAPE TOWN BLITZ v JOZI STARS – Mzansi Super League
The weather in Cape Town has threatened this game all week, but with only spotty showers predicted we should get a game at Newlands. The toss will be vital and the Blitz will need to provide better support for the in-form Quinton de Kock, but with home ground advantage we’re leaning towards them winning tonight.
Cape Town Blitz 0.83 VS Jozi Stars 0.91
BET: WATFORD v MANCHESTER CITY – Premier League
Watford are the next team in the cross-hairs of Pep Guardiola’s crack marksmen. Even with Sergio Aguero injured and playing away from home, City are a short 0.30 to win the match.
Watford 7.75 VS Man City 0.30
BET CENTRAL DAILY DABBLE: Railtrip x Cape Town Blitz x Man City – 15.65
