We're almost ready for another big weekend of sport but we have already seen drama and thrills over the last few days which have yielded large potential profits for savvy online betting punters during the midweek action from the international football, T20 World Cup cricket and French Open tennis!

As always, we look at some of the best bets and spread betting winners from Wednesday and Thursday in our Big Winners round-up.

Make sure you don't miss any of the action and keep an eye out for our pre-match and in-play price boosts on the website or our betting app, which you can download in the App Store or Google Play store.

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.

GIBRALTAR v WALES - TOTAL GOAL MINUTES (SETTLED AT 0)

We start with the football betting action as we edge ever closer to the start of EURO 2024, and punters have had to settle for international friendlies for their footballing fix. Thursday saw a shock result as minnows Gibraltar secured arguably their best result so far - despite it not being a competitive fixture - as they held onto a clean sheet and stalemate draw with Wales.

Generally seen to be in the 'footballing whipping boys' class with the likes of San Marino and Liechtenstein, this result saw Gibraltar avoid defeat (and secure a clean sheet) for the first time since November 2022. For Wales on the other hand, the result was an indication of their recent level, and improvements will need to be made for the Dragons to return to tournament football after missing out on EURO qualification.

In terms of big winning bets, football spread betting punters had major joy selling on the Total Goal Minutes market. With the opening spread standing at 201 - 216, the final make-up of 0 meant a profit of 201x punters' opening sell stake!

T20 WORLD CUP: USA v PAKISTAN - PAKISTAN/USA (SETTLED AT 0)

We move on to the T20 Cricket action and there was a monumental shock as the unfancied tournament debutants and co-hosts USA defeated their far more accomplished rivals Pakistan in a dramatic Super Over at Grand Prairie Stadium.

The game went to the extra over after both sides made 159 in their 20 overs, with USA scoring 14 in the final over to tie Pakistan's total. Batting first in the Super Over, the USA then ramped up the pressure on their opponents by making 18 for one, with Aaron Jones on 11 before being run out and seven runs coming via extras.

For punters who fancied a chance of an upset and placed a sell bet on the Pakistan/USA market at a starting spread of 52 - 60, a settlement of 0 meant a return of 52x their opening wager.

JASMINE PAOLINI v MIRRA ANDREEVA - TOTAL POINTS (SETTLED AT 106)

And finally, we end with the tennis action from the French Open as the plucky Italian Jasmine Paolini continued her dream run in Paris as she put paid to the hopes of 17-year-old sensation Mirra Andreeva and reached Saturday's final to take on defending champion and heavy favourite Iga Swiatek.

Much was expected from Andreeva after her hugely impressive come-from-behind win against second seed Aryna Sabalenka in the quarter-final, but she seemingly buckled under the pressure of being the favourite here as Paolini ran away with a comfortable 6-3 6-1 victory.

For punters with the foresight of a short match, selling on the Total Points market at an opening spread of 153 - 158 and a settlement of just 106 yielded an impressive return of 47x for successful sell trades.
