Online betting punters once again came out on top in the Champions League as a slew of goals saw PSG and Borussia Dortmund progress through to the last four. Away from football, there has been plenty of cricket and racing with all three sports highlighted in our big winners betting blog.

Please remember Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit. They may not be suitable for everyone so please ensure you fully understand the risks involved.

BARCELONA v PARIS ST GERMAIN – GOALS x CORNERS x BOOKINGS (SETTLED AT 6900)

Just 13 minutes into last night’s quarter-final clash with Paris St Germain everything seemed to be going to plan for Barcelona who at that point led their French rivals 4-2 on aggregate, but a red card for Ronald Araujo sparked a monumental collapse for the Catalan giants.

Former Barca boy Ousmane Dembele put the visitors level on the night before a second half brace for Kylian Mbappe scored either side of a sublime Vitinha strike secured progress for the Parisians.

A night of carnage was good news for buyers on one of our more volatile football spread betting markets: Goals x Corners x Bookings. With the spread at 2,000 - 2,175 before kick-off and five goals to multiply with 12 corners and 115 booking points, the spread settled at 6,900.

Buyers therefore landed a whopping win of 4,725x their stake.

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BENGALURU v SUNRISERS HYDERABAD – SIXES SQUARED (SETTLED AT 1444)

High scoring cricket matches are nearly always good news for cricket spread betting punters who enjoy placing a buy bet and Monday’s clash in Bengaluru was one of those occasions.

Batting first, visitors Sunrisers Hyderabad launched an aerial assault that included 22 sixes as they powered their way to 287-3 off their allotted 20 overs. In reply, Bengaluru made 262 runs as they too joined in the six party, chipping in with 16 of their own.

The boundary-bashing frenzy was a boon for buyers on our Sixes Squared market which was 423-480 before play but settled at 1,444 as those buyers pocketed a win of 964x their stake.

NEWMARKET 16^TH APRIL – STARTING PRICES (SETTLED AT 86)

The first day of the Craven Meeting at Newmarket took place yesterday and if you are a horse racing spread betting punter who backs the favourites then it was not the day for you. The only favourite who came home first was Eye Of Dubai, but Jason Hart saw that decision reversed in the steward’s room.

However, it was a good day for buyers on our Starting Prices spread which was 55-58 before they headed to post in the first race of the day. With no winning favourites and three horses winning at double-figure prices (including Watcha Matey at 33/1), the spread settled at 86 as buyers landed a win of 28x their stake.

Please note that these are examples of winning bets from the past week, and it is important to remember that spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit.
