There has been a fully stocked sporting calendar this midweek and some shrewd online betting punters have landed some tasty wins. Here we run through three of those ahead of a weekend which sees the return of the Six Nations and a pivotal match in the Premier League title race.

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.

INDIA v ENGLAND – ENGLAND 1^ST INNINGS RUNS (SETTLED AT 218)

At the time of writing, England are toiling in the field against India in the picturesque setting of Dharamshala, and they struggled with the bat when they limped their way to a score of 218 all out.

That was despite the platform that opener Zak Crawley provided when he scored a stylish 76 as the tourists look to be heading for a 4-1 series defeat. There was money to be made on this innings for cricket spread betting punters, with England’s 1^st Innings Runs spread at 308-323 as Crawley and Ben Duckett came out, but another uninspiring performance saw sellers land a win of 90x their stake.

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS v WARRINGTON WOLVES – MATCH TRIES SQUARED (SETTLED AT 81)

Those in attendance at Craven Park last night were treated to a humdinger of a match as Sam Burgess’ Warrington Wolves side earned a stunning comeback victory to beat host Hull KR 22-20.

Two Wire tries in the opening 14 minutes set the tone for a see-sawing contest in which the lead changed four times. Both sides were beset by goal kicking issues, but it was Warrington who managed to get their noses in front late on thanks to a try from former St George Illawarra man Matt Dufty who crossed to score the ninth try of the match.

For rugby league spread betting punters, one market of interest can be the Match Tries Squared spread which was set at 44-50 yesterday leaving buyers needing seven tries to all but break even. With nine tries scored the market settled at 81 as buyers landed a win of 31x their stake.

LUKE HUMPHRIES v MICHAEL SMITH – TOTAL 180s x HIGHEST CHECKOUT (SETTLED AT 1430)

Luke Humphries secured his first nightly win in the Premier League this season after he beat Michael Smith yesterday evening to land the spoils on the sixth night of action.

Humphries beat Gerywn Price and Rob Cross to set up a final showdown with St Helens dartist Michael Smith who himself had beaten the veteran of the lineup Peter Wright and the golden boy Luke Littler.

With both players averaging over a ton and five 180s scored apiece, Humphries prevailed 6-3 in a high-quality contest. For darts spread betting punters who bought on our Total 180s x Highest Checkout spread, there was a nice win to be had.

This is one of our more volatile darts spread betting markets, so it is key to check your stake size, but with an opening spread of 718-778 and a final makeup of 1400 (thanks to a Humphries 140 checkout) buyers won 622x their 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.
