Fly High SA Fly: Your Best Proudly SA Markets for the Weekend
Extra, Extra… Read all about it! Find the Best Proudly South African Betting Markets for this Weekend Here
It’s an iffy weekend for all South Africans as we decide: should we be fully patriotic or go against the Mzanzi magic?
The difficult choice we have to make as the SA public is whether to go against the spread or bank on our boys. These decisions will take some thinking and time to make. Therefore some influence is required to get over the finish line and place the most suitable bets possible.
In this post, Sunbet will give you the most intriguing bets across all three main events South Africa will participate in. With these unmatchable odds, we’ll hand out some relevant stats that will aid you in making informed decisions.
Before stat padding and odd checking, are you proudly South African? If yes, then this bet is for you. Put your money on our Sunbet Special Bet, Proudly SA Treble, for the weekend, where you’ll back SA’s finest with boosted odds of 11.00 for the following markets:
- The Boks to win -7.5 Handicap vs. England,
- The Proteas to beat India outright in the 4th T20I match, and
- Bafana Bafana to beat Uganda and walk away as the outright winner pick.
Now let’s get back to the best rugby, soccer, and cricket betting markets to look at in all SA showdowns.
The Best Bokke Bets For England Matchup
England will be looking for payback for the World Cup Semi-finals because of them all being “op die wit kant.” It won't come easy, however, with SA stamping their authority early in the United Kingdom with a win over Scotland.
Further displaying the abovementioned early dominance are the odds for the Dead Heat bet, where SA are the favourites with odds of 1.34 and England the underdogs with odds of 3.20.
Punting on the Bokke is, hands down, your safest SA bet of the weekend. Even gambling on the Handicap market appears to be a good punt. The Red Roses with a (+7.5) Handicap are at odds of 1.88, while the Bokke with a (-7.5) Handicap have the same odds of 1.88.

Another safe market to bet on is the first team to 20 points. The world champions have odds of 1.58 to reach the feat first, while England’s odds are 3.40 to reach the same milestone.

Best Bafana Bafana Betting Markets vs. Uganda
With the power still in South Africa’s hands to qualify for the next AFCON, the Mzanzi boys head into the match confidently. However, there has been a mixed bag of results heading into this fixture.
Hence why beating on over and under markets for this meeting will make more sense and increase your chances of potentially big wins.

The current odds display a flat bet: Uganda (2.70) vs. South Africa (2.50), Draw (2.90).
Judging by these above stats and bet type, you could back our boys on the road against The Cranes with a win or choose from these “safer” markets:
- A “Yes” Pick for both teams to score with odds of 2.38 (taking into account that four of the last five meetings between Bafana and the hosts ended with both teams scoring and that both teams have scored in all of their last five matches), and
- Goals over 1.5, odds: 1.57 (goals will be scored, as both countries will want to secure a victory and confirm their AFCON qualification).
Proteas vs. India: What Next From the Slogger?
Back the Proteas or go against them with an Indian wager? That is the biggest question of the weekend!
When South Africa’s cricket team meets the T20 world champions, India, for the fourth match in the series, the best markets to go for could be the Live In-Play markets.
The Proteas are currently 2-1 down in the series and have it all to play for in the last clash. If you back SA with your bet, it's safe to say you’ll be going against the spread.
The odds: South Africa (Odds: 2.10) vs. India (Odds: 1.73).
