Weekend's Big Winning Bets

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

It was a hugely exciting weekend of sport as Team Europe secured the Ryder Cup in the golf, as well as a highly dramatic Premier League matchweek which saw champions Man City and Liverpool both lose their unbeaten status this season, Rugby World Cup and Rugby Premiership Cup action and more.

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.

As always, we look at some of the best bets and big winning spread bets from the weekend!

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.

SPURS V LIVERPOOL – GOALS X CORNERS X BOOKINGS (SETTLED AT 7,200)

We start in the Premier League where savvy football spread betting punters had the opportunity of massive potential profit in the Saturday late kick-off between Liverpool and Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In what was a hugely controversial affair which saw a mixed bag of goalmouth action, ill-discipline, contentious refereeing and yet more VAR controversy, it was the home side who ultimately took all three points as goals from Son-Heung Min and a 96th minute own goal by Joel Matip cancelling out 9-man Liverpool's goal from Cody Gakpo.

With plenty of winning markets to choose from when it came to bookings on account of the two red cards and nine other yellows shown, it was one of our Spreadex multi-markets where the biggest profit was to be had.

For spread betting punters wagering on the Goals x Corners x Bookings market, a massive make-up of 7,200 from a starting pre-match spread of 1,700 – 1,875 meant a return of 5,325x bettors’ initial stake!

RYDER CUP – STOP AT A ROUT (SETTLED AT 100)

In the big golf action over the weekend, Team Europe roared to a commanding victory over Team USA in the Ryder Cup. However, it wasn't all plain sailing as despite a dominant first day, the Europeans had to hold off a spirited late fightback.

Tommy Fleetwood secured the winning point for Team Europe as they overcame a final-round charge from Team USA to claim a dramatic 16.5-11.5 victory in Rome. Luke Donald's side dominated an unbeaten opening day and pulled further ahead during the Saturday foursomes, only for Team USA to edge the fourballs session after a dramatic finish to cut Europe's advantage to five heading into the Sunday singles at Marco Simone GC.

For golf spread betting punters, selling one of the Spreadex Tournament Specials markets - Stop At A Rout - proved to be a profitable decision. With a starting spread of 190 – 200, sellers were left with a win of 90x their opening stake.

'Stop at a Rout' is a market of how many matches would be played in the Ryder Cup until a match is won by 6 holes or more - 10 points per match until a match is won by 6 holes or more.

e.g. Matches numbered 1-28. e.g. 1st win by 6 holes or more is match 4, MU=40. Min MU= 10. Max MU=290.

HARLEQUINS V SARACENS - HAR/SAR TRY MINUTES SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT -51)

And finally, although the 2023 Rugby World Cup action continued, there was also the Rugby Premiership Rugby Cup on Sunday as Harlequins defeated Saracens at the Twickenham Stoop.

Although this was technically a dead rubber, spread betting punters with selling bets had an opportunity for profit in somewhat strange circumstances. Although Harlequins defeated the Saracens by seven points and scored more tries, it was Saracens who scored their tries late on.

As such, with a Total Try Minutes make-up of 182 for the losing side and 130 for the winning side, the HAR/SAR Try Minutes Supremacy market settled with a negative make-up of -51. With a starting spread of 41 - 62, punters who sold were rewarded with a 92x return on their opening wager!
