The team at Bet Central and watched a lot of sport this weekend so check out our list of things we loved from the sporting weekend.
Brad Binder
We would have dedicated the entire article to Brad Binder if we could but let’s start the piece with him. Binder made history in MotoGP and for South Africa after his historic win at the Czech Republic GP.
Also, his odds to win were 50/1. Pays to be patriotic sometimes.
