It really wasn’t a great night for the home nations, while San Marino suffered another absolute drubbing – but what exactly made our Euro 2020 qualifying-focused Daily Spread Betting Roundup?

Last-gasp loss for NI – Netherlands vs Northern Ireland
Given the difficulties of their qualifying run-in, Northern Ireland desperately needed a result in Rotterdam – and they came closer than many expected to doing just that.

After holding off their orange hosts, Josh Magennis gave the visitors the lead in the 75th minute – compare that to the opening 1st Match Goal spread of 31-34 and you could have won 41 times your initial bet.

Yet Memphis Depay was swift in his response, scoring 5 minutes later to draw things level. An injury time strike from Luuk de Jong then put the Netherlands ahead, with Depay hammering home the heartbreak with almost the final kick of the game. A big night, then, for the former-Man United star, one that saw his SMM make-up rocket to 260 against an already high opening price of 57-67 – back that and you could have won 193 times your original stake.


Another frustrating night for Bale and co. – Slovakia vs Wales
Putting pressure on their final 3 qualifying fixtures, Wales could only manage a 1-1 draw in Slovakia, with Kieffer Moore’s 1st half opener cancelled out by Juraj Kucka not long after the break.

Ryan Giggs’ lads failed to capitalise on Norbert Gyomber’s late 2nd yellow, meaning they are stuck in 4th place in Group E, but luckily with a game in half over the 4 sides above them.

Though Slovakia were the only team to have a man sent off, Wales played their part in making sure it was a niggly fixture, picking up 4 yellows of their own. That meant the Bookings make-up was 75 against the original spread of 50-54, with the Multi-Bookings market hitting 1100 compared to the opening price of 540-640. Best of all, the Cross Bookings make-up reached 1400 – take off the initial spread of 660-740, and you get 640 times your original stake.


Misery for travelling Scots – Russia vs Scotland
At least they have a place in the play-offs. Scotland’s chances of automatic qualification were ended on Thursday night as Russia dealt out a 2nd half battering, eventually winning 4-0.

Even when factoring in a rather large Russia/Scotland Goal Supremacy spread of 1.25-1.45 that means you could have still picked up 2.55 times your initial stake.


Oh, San Marino – Belgium vs San Marino
It was predictable as it was painful. Belgium inflicted San Marino’s 2nd 9-0 away loss of the campaign, with 8 individual scorers (including an own goal from Cristian Brolli).

With a score line that large of course the Goals x Shirts make-up was going to hit a whopping 1125. Minus the original spread of 745-820, that’s 305 times your initial stake.

Interestingly, despite scoring a 1st half brace, Romelu Lukaku was so heavily fancied at an original SMM spread of 197-220, his make-up of 110 meant you’d have had to sell at that price to get 97 times your opening bet.
