Bet.co.za betting challenge - Round 5

After skipping last week's Bet.co.za Super Rugby betting update, rugby365s Howie Kahn is back with a fresh amount in his betting balance.

Well, first things first - congrats to TheBounce for his last-gasp victory in Round One of the 2012 Super Rugby Bet.co.za (www.bet.co.za) betting challenge.

Bounce went 'all in' on the Sharks beating the Reds to grab the win after four weeks (read about that HERE) - and he walked off with a cool cash prize of R1,000 and an overall tally of R1847.93, followed by me on R900, SportBilly (@sportbillysays) on R15.13 and Sports Illustrated's Schalk Jonker (-R422.5) and Gareth Rosslee (-R945) who went into negative.

TheBounce (@followthebounce), after his win, has bowed out - leaving four of us to take each other on over the next few weeks, with a new tally of R1,000 in our betting coffers.
