The pressure is on, and the stakes are high! From a thrilling Currie Cup final to a relegation edge battle at the bottom of the Premier League table, this weekend promises fireworks. And who better to guide us through the action than our CEO, Darren Kramer? Get his exclusive insights on three massive sporting events, including a bold, long-term bet on the Springboks to triumph in the Rugby Championship. It's time to build your bet slip with DK's Picks of the Week!
Pick 1: Currie Cup | Lions vs. Griquas
The Lions are coming into this Currie Cup final with a head of steam, having convincingly beaten the Griquas 37-7 just two weeks ago to secure top spot on the log. Their dominance has been particularly evident at home, where they thrashed Boland 67-19 in the semi-final.
With a team stacked with Vodacom URC players and a powerful attacking lineup that includes the prolific Angelo Davids, the Lions have scored 46 tries and 311 points this season, far more than Griquas' 38 and 263.
Their superior discipline (conceding fewer penalties) also gives them a crucial edge.
DK’s Pick: Lions -21.5 – NOW 87/100 (1.87)*
Odds are subject to change*.
Pick 2: EPL | Burnley vs. Nottingham Forest
Burnley's recent form has shown a pattern of struggling away from home, but they have proven to be a tough test for even the strongest teams. They were unlucky to lose to both Manchester United and Liverpool due to late penalties, a testament to their fighting spirit. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest has had a difficult start to the season, with three consecutive losses under their new manager. With Burnley playing at home at Turf Moor, Darren believes they will capitalize on Forest's shaky form and secure at least a draw, making the "double chance" bet a solid option.
DK’s Pick: Burnley Double Chance - NOW @8/11 (1.73)*
*Odds are subject to change.
Pick 3: Long-Term Bet | The Rugby Championship
Boks to lift the Rugby Championship @9/10. The Springboks are the reigning World Champions and have shown their class in this year's competition with a record-breaking victory over the All Blacks. Their recent performance has been a massive statement of intent, proving they are still a dominant force in world rugby. With a blend of tactical brilliance under Rassie Erasmus and the physical prowess that has made them a feared opponent, the Boks are in pole position to claim the title. Given their current momentum and status as the number one ranked team in the world, Darren believes this is a bet well worth taking.
DK’s Pick: Boks to lift the Rugby Championship - NOW @4/5 (1.80)*
*Odds are subject to change.
