Tuesday's Big Winning Bets

Tuesday saw a quiet day for sport however, there were still some massive wins for punters in the cricket and the football as Hampshire faced Kent in the Ageas bowl, England got off to a winning start in their T20 series in Pakistan and Chorley thrashed Liversedge to progress to the next round of the FA Cup qualifying rounds.

As usual, we look at three big winning spread bets bringing savvy punters joy.

Please remember that unlike fixed odds betting, when spread betting losses can exceed deposits.

HAMPSHIRE v KENT – 1^st INNINGS SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT -108)

The first action of the day came in the cricket in the top division of the County Championship as Kent looked to build on their Royal London cup victory over Lancashire on Saturday.

With Hampshire sitting in second and needing two big victories in their remaining two matches of the competition to challenge Surrey for the title the home side were big favourites. The home side showed why they were challenging for the title early on as they reduced Kent to 35/5 at lunch.

After lunch Nick Compton’s hard fought 63 saw Kent end the session all out for 165 leaving Hampshire confident of building a strong first innings lead as they entered the crease.

But all did not go to plan as a five-fer from Matt Quinn helped Kent skittle out Hampshire for 57 in just 87 minutes of play!

But where was the value for the punters?

With Hampshire starting the day in second and Kent in eighth saw a 1^st innings supremacy spread of 70-90 being offered in the favour of Hampshire. With Kent gaining a first innings lead of 108 runs the market settled at -108 meaning lucky punters who decided to sell won 178x their initial stake!

CHORLEY V LIVERSEDGE – CHORLEY TOTAL GOAL MINUTES (SETTLED AT 537)

With their being limited top level football played yesterday we head to the quarter finals of FA Cup qualification as Chorley hosted Liversedge with both sides looking to progress to the next round with the dream of reaching the first round of the prestigious competition.

A lightning start saw the home side take a third minute lead in the tie as Jon Ustabasi scored from close range before Ollie Shenton headed home halfway through the half to send Chorley into half time with a commanding 2-0 lead.

The second half was a much more one-sided affair as Liversedge opened up as they chased the game which allowed Chorley to score seven goals in the second half with Ustabasi finishing off his hat-trick in the 81^st minute to cap off a 9-0 victory for the home side which books them a tie with Blyth Spartans in the next round.

But where was the value for the punters?

With a much closer game being expected a pre-match spread of 102-112 for Chorley Total Goal Minutes was offered. With the market settling at 537 punters who decided to buy won a massive 425x their initial stake!

PAKISTAN v ENGLAND – LAUNCH (SETTLED AT 1,156)

The final action of the day came in Pakistan as England kicked-off the first of a seven T20 international series against Pakistan in Karachi.

England won the toss and elected to bowl with a new look side as they welcomed back Alex Hales after a lengthy spell and also gave experienced county bowler Luke Wood his debut.

Pakistan got off to a great start scoring 32 runs off the first three overs, however some expert bowling from debutant Wood and Adil Rashid reduced the hosts to a sub-par score of 158-7 at the end of their 20 overs.

England made no issue of chasing down Pakistan’s total as Hales 53 off 40 deliveries and Harry Brook’s fast paced 42 guided the visitors to a comfortable six wicket win to put themselves 1-0 up in the series.

 But where was the value for the punters?

With Mohammad Rizwan scoring a match high of 68 and the most expensive over of the match being bowled by Willey going for 17 runs the Launch market made up at 1,156 (68 x 17 = 1156)! With a pre-match spread of 1,390-1,490 being offered punters who decided to sell won 234x 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.
