Routine win for England, abject embarrassment for Ireland, and a dominant Danish display – but how much money did football spread betting punters make?

Who do England face on Wednesday?
Sunday’s trip to Albania was as to be expected, England coming away with a solid 2-0 victory.

Harry Kane opened scoring, heading home in the 38th minute. So, while you needed to sell his PGM spread of 40-43 to make 2 times your initial bet, if you bought his Headed PGM spread of 8-11, you won 27 times your opening wager.

Getting the assist was Luke Shaw – back his Assist Minutes spread of 9-12, and that’s 26 times your original wager.

Mason Mount then gave England an extra level of comfort, making it 2-0 off of a Kane assist in the 63rd minute. Mount’s PGM spread of 10-13, then, made you 50 times your initial stake.

Or, go for Kane’s Assist Minutes spread of 13-16 for 47 times your original bet.

England will now face their main qualification rivals Poland this Wednesday, at 7.45pm live on ITV.

After a soft start, it’s the first real test for the team’s backline this year. And what a test it will be. Robert Lewandowski, on 42 goals in 36 games domestically, has scored 3 times in 2 games this week, including a brace against Andorra.

Will Stephen Kenny be sacked?
It was almost unthinkable. Surely Stephen Kenny would break his winless run in charge of Ireland with a home victory over Luxembourg?

Instead the Irish campaign to reach Qatar – who they incidentally face in a friendly on Tuesday – is already on the ropes.

If you had sold a confident Ireland/Luxembourg Goal Supremacy spread of 0.9-1.1, you make a cheeky 1.9 times your opening stake.

Dynamo Kiev forward Gerson Rodrigues was Ireland’s undoing, scoring in the 85th minute. Buy his PGM spread of 9-12, and that’s 73 times your original wager.

What was the highest scoring FIFA World Cup qualifier of the weekend?
The biggest fixture from a goals-perspective – and one of the best for sports spread betting fans –was Denmark’s 8-0 riot at home to Moldova.

If you bought a Total Goals spread of 3.05-3.25, you made 4.75 times your initial stake.

Even better, if you backed the Total Goal Minutes market at 155-165, a makeup of 361 left you with 196 times your opening bet.
