Man City eye the top spot, Big Sam gets his first West Brom victory, and Yan Bingtao wins the Masters – but how much money did spread betting punters make? It’s the Daily Sports Spread Betting Roundup!

Are Manchester City odds on to win the 2020/21 Premier League?
Sunday couldn’t have gone much better for Man City. After the goalless draw at Anfield, Pep Guardiola’s side smashed Crystal Palace 4-0, moving into 2nd place with the chance to go top if they win their game in hand.

John Stones emerged as the surprise star of Sunday’s victory, scoring in the 26th and 68th minutes – his first ever Premier League goals for Man City.

Back him at a tiny SMM spread of 2-4, and a makeup of 162 saw you walk away with 158 times your initial stake.

And though the victory was expected, the scoreline still meant buying a Man City/Palace Goal Supremacy spread of 2-2.2 won you 1.8 times your starting bet.

That win just reaffirmed City’s position as title favourites, odds on at 8/15 – Liverpool are now at 10/3 – alongside a league-leading Season Points spread of 82.5-84.

When was the last time Sam Allardyce won a Premier League game?
West Brom picked up their first win of the Big Sam era – and the manager’s first top flight victory since Everton beat Huddersfield in April 2018 – in a 3-2 thriller against Wolves.

A pair of spot kicks from Matheus Pereira sealed the deal for the Baggies, the Brazilian converting in the 8th and 56th minutes. That meant football spread bettors could’ve either bought a Pereira SMM spread of 7-10, with a makeup of 120 winning them 110 times their original wager, or a Penalty SMMs spread of 16-10, for 100 times their initial bet.

Backing a Total Goals spread of 2.2-2.4 netted you 2.6 times your opening stake, while a Total Goal Minutes makeup of 197 meant buying at 114-124 produced a 73 times multiplier.

What are the odds on West Brom going down? Now 5 points from safety, Spreadex has the Baggies at a Season Points spread of 28-29.5, behind only Sheffield United, and a relegation fixed odds price of 2/9.

Who is the youngest ever winner of the Masters?
In a dream debut, Yan Bingtao became the youngest player to win the Masters in 26 years. In a quirk of fate, Yan is a year older than Ronnie O’Sullivan was in 1995. The losing finalist then and now? John Higgins, in a sign of his own remarkable legacy.

The 20-year old’s 10-8 victory meant, if you sold a Higgins/Yan 10-3 Supremacy spread of 8-11 – where the winner gets 10 points, and a further 3 points per frame won by – you picked up 24 times your initial stake.
