Top 3 winning bets from the weekend's sport

Who impressed most over the Premier League weekend?

Jack Harrison put up the most impressive Premier League performance of the week, scoring a hattrick in Leeds’ shock 3-2 win at West Ham. Just a week after losing 2-0 to the same opponents in he FA Cup, Harrison put the visitors, who started the game 5^th bottom of the table, ahead twice, only for 4^th placed West Ham to peg them back. However, the hugely impressive Raphinha created yet another chance with a sublime through ball and former Manchester City winger Harrison dinked home the winner.

Jack Harrison Super Mega Minutes (settled at 264)

Going into this game with only one Premier League goal this season, you may think those buying Jack Harrison Super Mega Minutes must have had a premonition, but those who watch Leeds a lot would tell you he’s started to look like the dangerous attacking midfielder of last season more and more of late. Harrison opened his account in Leeds’ last league game, against Burnley, and after a difficult start to the season, where injuries have seen him in and out of the side, he has had a consistent run of games. The Super Mega Minutes market doubles the goal minutes of any second goal and trebles those of a third, and was set at 9-13 before this game. Buyers therefore won a tasty 251 times their bet.

Who won snooker’s Masters tournament?

Neil Robertson defeated Barry Hawkins 10-4 to claim his second Masters title and cited the example of NFL legend Tom Brady as to why he believes he can still go on winning major titles as he approaches his 40^th birthday. The 2010 world champion says he still wants to win multiple world titles after wrapping up his 6^th Triple Crown success against Hawkins, who looked out of sorts and never really threatened after a fine week at Ally Pally of his own. After pulling it back to 6-4 early in the evening session, Hawkins made too many mistakes as he let the Aussie win six frames in a row to take the title.

Frame 5 Multi-Points (settled at 5159)

Our biggest winning bet on the Master Finals came with a buy in the Frame 5 Multi-Points market. This spread was set at 1355-1505, and is calculated by multiplying Robertson’s points by Hawkins’ in this particular frame. The Aussie took Frame 5 77-67 to give a Multi-Points result if 5159, giving buyers a massive profit of 3654 times their bet.

What happened in the 5^th and final Ashes Test?

The Ashes is over and England are left wondering which way to turn after yet another defeat to finish the series 4-0 losers. In all honesty they were lucky to not finish whitewashed 5-0 in a series dominated from start to finish by the hosts. If it’s the hope that kills us, then the final Test in Hobart provided one last glimmer. Australia scored 303 in their first innings and as England once again failed to make 200, took a 115-run lead into the second innings. Mark Wood was superb, taking 6 for 37 as the Aussies were bowled out for just 155 second time around, leaving England with a chance of winning the match, set a target of 271 to win. Of course that meant there was time for one last collapse, England going favourites when they reached 68-0 before losing all 10 wickets for 56 runs, bowled out for 124 to lose by 146 runs.

England 2^nd innings (settled at 124)

With plenty of time and a target of just 271 needed to win the final Test and salvage something from this disastrous Ashes Tour, there was some enthusiasm that Joe Root’s side could make it to their target. England’s 2^nd Innings Runs spread was set at 241-243 and the tourists started well, with Rory Burns and Zak Crawley putting on 68 for the 1^st wicket. Of course the wheels came off yet again then, and England were skittled out for 124, meaning sellers won 117 times their bet.
