Durban July Novel Bets & Fun Bets at Hollywoodbets

South Africa’s leading sportsbook operator Hollywoodbets are offering some fun novel bets for the astute and lucky in Saturday’s R5 million Gr1 Hollywoodbets Durban July.

While the seasoned players will be used to wagering on wins, places, doubles and trebles, there are some fun bets that could provide a good return for the smart or plain lucky.

Did you know, for instance, that the greatest winning margin was recorded by Riboville in 1974? It was the year Jamaican Music clipped heels with another horse and dumped Tom Rattley 350m from the start. Jamaican Music won the July in 1976.
