Elation for England, heartbreak for Wales and utter misery for Southampton – it’s the Daily Spread Betting Roundup. But how much could you have won?

England halt All Blacks juggernaut – England vs New Zealand
Heading into the semi-finals, it looked like the All Blacks were unstoppable, blowing past now-finalists South Africa and Ireland en route to Yokohama.

Yet Eddie Jones found the formula to stop New Zealand in their tracks, securing only England’s 8th ever victory over the 2015 champions.

They came out of the gate hot, with Manu Tuilagi scoring England’s sole try after just 2 minutes. Sell a 1st England Try spread of 41-44, and that’s 39 times your initial stake.

It was a low-scoring affair, dominated by George Ford’s penalty taking. Eventually the fixture finished 19-7; in comparison Spreadex started the semi offering a New Zealand/England Point Supremacy spread of 5-8. If you’d backed England, and sold that price, you could have picked up 17 times your opening bet.

Springboks bounce out Wales – Wales vs South Africa
After that nail-biter against France in the quarter-finals, Welsh fans were desperate for something a bit less nerve-wracking against South Africa. Alas it wasn’t to be; with 4 minutes left on the clock, and the score tied at 16-16, Handre Pollard’s 4th penalty of the game gave the Springboks a late 3-point lead, and a spot in Saturday’s final.

The slenderest of consolations came for Josh Adams. His 65th minute try currently makes him the tournament’s top try scorer. His 6 can realistically only be challenged by Makazole Mapimpi, who sits on 5 heading to the final, or a superb showing from Jonny May or Manu Tuilagi, both of whom are on 3.

It also meant any who bought Adams’ Try Minutes spread of 11-14 could have made 51 times their initial stake.

Saints’ prayers fall flat – Southampton vs Leicester
Dear oh dear. Equalling Man United’s long held record for hammering Ipswich 9-0, Leicester left Southampton in tatters on Friday night, the game including a hat-trick apiece for Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy.

The fixture wasn’t meant to be anything special, with Spreadex initially offering a narrow Leicester/Southampton Goal Supremacy spread of 0.1-0.3. Buy that and you would’ve ended up with a tasty 8.7 times your opening bet.

Even better, a low original Goals x Shirts spread of 112-127 made up to 891, meaning you could have netted 764 times your opening stake.
