Do the international punters consider the best USD/ZAR rate when deciding to punt in SA.

Was chatting to some veteran punters earlier today and it looks like some of us do really await for the ZAR 18/19 bar to book a trip to SA for punting.

Me personally, with the high volatility of the ZAR, it does not bother me too much.

I watch it almost every hour (literally)....it's been wilding.

Looks like 18/19 is our guy for now.

And...speaking for myself, dollars remain dollars to me because I'm in Africa (that means more) . But it's a plus for an overseas punter ...hence why they're going to splash.x

lost 3% against the USD again.

And there is the decline of SA in numbers.

The dollar is on its way out. The US is trying really hard to maintain its world reserve currency status and thus maintain its superpower status. China and Russia have been making strides to remove the dollar power hence the US economic attack on them. Iran was doing the same by setting up their own oil exchange without the dollar. This has happened to all previous empires in the past. Really interesting video to watch on YouTube is called the four horseman.

Sadly when the dollar collapses we all go down with it. Your thoughts people.
