Another masterclass from Steve Smith, a hat-trick for Harry Kane and a pair of very different US Open finals all make the Daily Spread Betting Roundup! But how much could you have won?

Steve Smith and co. retain the urn – 2019 Ashes 4th Test
The blazingly balls of Jofra Archer and the persistence of Ben Stokes in the 3rd Test are nothing compared to the maddening, consistent brilliance of Steve Smith, who helped ensure the visitors will be taking the Ashes back to Australia.

Returning from concussion without losing a step, the batting behemoth saw the single best innings of the series so far. Starting at what, in hindsight, is a paltry Runs spread of 51-56, Smith slogged away until he reached 211, resulting in a 155 multiplier to your original stake for anyone who quite rightly backed the 30-year old.

His 2nd innings was, by his standards, a bitter disappointment. And yet, from an opening price of 38-43 he still could have made you 39 times your initial stake after scoring another 82.


Kane keeps up England’s unbeaten run – Euro 2020 Qualifiers
Though, admittedly, England aren’t in the toughest group, their Euro 2020 qualifying form so far has been pretty damn robust. March’s 5-0 and 5-1 wins over Czech Republic and Montenegro were followed on Saturday by another big score line, a 4-0 victory over Bulgaria.

Complimented by a goal from Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane thrice found the back of the net, bumping his SMM make-up to a hefty 341 against an already high 87-102. That 2 of those goals came from the spot meant that the Penalties SMM make-up itself hit 195 – against an opening price of 28-33, you could have won 192 times your initial take.


A tale of two finals – 2019 US Open
The 2019 US open ended with titles for a new name and an old hand. First, Bianca Andreescu shockingly thwarted Serena Williams’ latest attempt to nab a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam, beating the living legend 6-3 7-5. That result could have netted you 81.8 times your opening stake if you’d bought at a binary spread of 10-18.2.

Sunday then saw Rafa Nadal secure his 19th Grand Slam title in a hard-fought victory over tournament ‘bad boy’ Daniil Medvedev. The 5-setter saw the Total Points make-up creep higher and higher to 341 – compare that to an original price of 231-238, and anyone predicting the Russian would have stretched Nadal could have won 103 times their opening stake.


World Cup warm-ups – Rugby Union Internationals
In a weekend full of Rugby World Cup warm-ups – including wins for all of the big names bar, interestingly, world no. 1s Wales – it was the All Blacks who really stood out. They trashed Tonga 92-7 on Saturday morning, a massive win that caused the Match Multi-Points market to hit 2430 against the opening 1173-1277 spread.

24-year old George Bridge was the game’s star, with his 4 tries resulting in a SMM make-up of 325, compared to his initial price of 72-78.
