South Africa hammer England in 1st ODi, Rooney’s Derby set up FA Cup visit from Man United, and Newcastle forced to extra time – it’s the Daily Spread Betting Roundup! But how much money could you have won?

Proteas get their revenge – South Africa v England 1st ODI
Eoin Morgan and co. would have been feeling cocky heading into Tuesday’s ODI. They had thumped South Africa in the last 3 Tests, and were making their first return to one-day cricket after winning the 2019 World Cup. So confident were England that they rested Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler.

Well, their egos were thoroughly checked in Cape Town.

With just 79 runs between their top 4 batsmen, the visitors were pinned back to 258-8. Curiously the recalled Joe Denly was England’s surprise top performer; his 87 runs created a 51 times multiplier for anyone buying an initial spread of 31-36.

Fuelled by Quinton de Kock 107 runs – take off an opening spread of 41-46, and that’s 61 times your original bet – Proteas ended up winning by 7 wickets, getting revenge for their Test humiliation.

That result also meant selling a starting England/South Africa Supremacy spread of 9-19 made you 79 times your opening stake, where 10 points are awarded per wicket won by.

Rooney sets up visit from Man United – Derby v Northampton
In a night of FA Cup replay drama, Wayne Rooney helped Derby set up a 5th round visit from Man United. The Rams eventually won 4-2, with Rooney’s 77th minute penalty helping create a bit of breathing room before Sam Hoskins’s own 84th minute spot-kick for the visitors.

Those late penalties hugely contributed to a Total Goal Minutes make-up of 322, against a starting price of 136-146 – that’s 176 times your initial stake.

Buying a Total Goals spread of 2.65-2.85, meanwhile, left you with 3.15 times your original bet.

Toon take it in extra time – Oxford v Newcastle
One of 3 replays needing more than 90 minutes – Birmingham and Reading won on penalties – Newcastle saw off a late rally from Oxford to win late on in the added in extra time.

If you predicted the game would go that way, and bought a binary Newcastle to win in extra time spread of 5.2-11.8, you could have won 88.2 times your opening stake.
