MOROCCO V SOUTH AFRICA - MOR/S.A TGM SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT -147)

We start with the football betting action from the African Cup of Nations and another massive shock as the tournament favourites, highest-ranked African side and World Cup semi-finalists Morocco fell to defeat against unfancied South Africa in the round of 16.

After two wins and a draw in their three group matches and only conceding one goal in those matches, Morocco were expected to comfortably motor through and face bigger challenges in the latter stages of the tournament, but the South Africans thoroughly flipped the script - a familar theme in this tournament so far.

The first half seemed to be going to plan and the Moroccans thought they had scored the opener in the 33rd minute, but this was ruled out for offside by VAR. However, it was the second half where the majority of the drama took place.

After South Africa took a shock lead on 57 minutes, Morocco captain and star man Achraf Hakimi then missed a penalty on 85 minutes before a red card for Sofyan Amrabat and a second goal for Bafana Bafana securing the victory and passage through to a quarter-final with Cape Verde.

For football spread betting punters, selling on the Morocco/South Africa Total Goal Minutes Supremacy market proved to be a shrewd choice. With the opening spread standing at 39 - 53, the final make-up of -147 meant a profit of 186x punters' opening sell stake!

ANDY MURRAY V BENOIT PAIRE - TOTAL POINTS (SETTLED AT 206)

Tennis betting punters have enjoyed a busy two weeks which concluded with the Australian Open final on Sunday, but a new week means new ATP tournaments and one of these is the ATP Montpellier indoor tournament in France, with the likes of Andy Murray, Holger Rune and Felix Auger-Aliassime in action.

Unfortunately for Murray, he was dumped out in the opening round as his dismal run of form continues - and may suggest retirement is not too far away. In what has become a repetitive pattern for post-metal hip Murray, the Scot has started matches well before suffering a collapse or coming up at the wrong end of agonising defeats in close fashion.

Playing the enigmatic and mercurial Frenchman Benoit Paire in his opening match, Murray would have been likely expecting a tough test but for his greater consistency to ultimately get him through, but despite a dominant opening set he ultimately fell to the home favourite 2-6 7-6 6-3.

For tennis spread betting punters, envisaging a long battle and buying on the Total Points spread proved a profitable decision. With the final make-up at 206 from a starting spread of 141 - 146, this meant a return of 78x punters' initial buy stake.

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS V PHILADELPHIA 76ERS - CUSTOM 100 WIN INDEX [GOLDEN STATE TO WIN, UNDER 239.5 PTS, S. CURRY OVER 27.5 PTS, DRAYMOND GREEN 4+ ASSISTS] (SETTLED AT 100)

And finally, we end with a winning basketball bet from the overnight NBA action and one of our special custom 100 Win Index bets. In these Bet Builder options, you are able to pick specific aspects of a match such as the over or under on Total Points or specific player statistics related to points, rebounds, assists, blocks and more.

Steph Curry scored 37 points to help his side to a 119-107 and consign the 76ers to a fourth defeat in a row, in what was the sixth straight game in which Curry has scored at least 25 points, and the third match in a row in which he made six or more three-pointers. Philadelphia also lost Joel Embiid, last season's Most Valuable Player in the NBA, to a knee injury.

With all of the outcomes on the custom bet occurring, this meant that the Win Index settled at 100 and buying on the starting spread of 13.3 - 20 yielded an 80x return on opening wagers!
