We are midway through another week of sport and the highlights have come from the football, tennis and cricket action.

While there are several highlights awaiting in the coming days including the final Ashes Test and England’s next Women’s World Cup fixture, punters found opportunities for significant profit.

As always, here are three of the biggest winning spread bets from Monday and Tuesday.

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.

THOMPSON V NISHIKORI – THO/NIS MATCH SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT -20)

There have been several notable comeback attempts in the tennis world in recent times, with high profile players attempting to get back to their old form after battling injuries. One of these players has been Japanese star Kei Nishikori, who was a fixture in the top 10 for several years and reached the US Open final in 2014, but had a two year hiatus.

After coming back at the lower tier ATP Challenger Tour in recent weeks, Nishikori finally made his return back at the ATP Tour level in the Atlanta tournament in the lead up to the 2023 US Open. Facing solid Australian Jordan Thompson, Nishikori would probably not have been expecting a victory, but that was what he achieved after a very tight double-tiebreak win, 7-6 7-6.

With the Match Supremacy spread at 0 – 3, this market is made-up based on 10 points for the winning player, as well as 5 points for every set won by. With Nishikori winning in straight sets, the market made up at -20 and selling punters made an Ace return of 20x their opening wager.

GERMANY (W) V MOROCCO (W) – TGM SUPREMACY GER/MOR (SETTLED AT 319)

In the Women’s World Cup, fourth-favourites Germany made a statement in their opener as they dominated Morocco with a crushing 6-0 victory. It was a display of typical efficiency with the Germans scoring with each of their five shots on target, along with the help of a Moroccan own goal.

Two of the goals came in the first half before a second-half blitz of four more underlined the level of dominance and announced the Germans as potential winners of the tournament. Tougher challenges will lay ahead, but opening matches don’t come much better.

For punters looking for a spread betting market focussing on the Germans’ dominance, buying on the TGM Supremacy spread at 193 – 207 saw them win a return of 112x their initial stake after a make-up of 319.

WEST INDIES V INDIA – DRAW (SETTLED AT 100)

Finally, we look at the cricket action as West Indies took on India in a Test match which ended in unlikely fashion with a draw – in similar circumstances to England’s unfortunate fate in the fourth Ashes Test.

In what is their 100th Test match against each other, rain caused yet more havoc at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and forced a draw due to cancellation of play.

The game was also notable for being the 500th India cap for star batsman Virat Kohli who made the occasion memorable with his 76th international century. His ton and Ravichandran Ashwin's half-century helped India post 438 in their first-innings, while the Windies collapsed after a decent start to get bowled out for 255.

With things looking grim, spread betting punters who bought at the Draw pre-match spread of 20 – 25 were relieved to be left with a tidy 75x return on their initial 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.
