There was plenty of online betting action this weekend for spread betting punters to enjoy with Manchester United’s woes continuing in the Premier League.

Across the various sports, there were big wins for Pic D’Orhy at Ascot, Wakefield Trinity at Leeds and Everton at Crystal Palace. Our players also landed some big wins over the last few days and we have picked out three events where they got the better of our spread betting traders.

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.

SRI LANKA v AUSTRALIA 2^ND ODI – AUS/SL SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT -174)

After England’s struggles in India, Australia were the latest cricketing power to be humbled on the subcontinent as they were thrashed by Sri Lanka on Friday.

Having reached a score of 79-3 in pursuit of 281, the tourists lost their final seven wickets for just 28 runs as Sri Lanka’s spin attack made hay in challenging conditions.

A 13-run final-wicket stand from Adam Zampa and Tanveer Sangha saw the Aussies reach double figures, but it was still a dismal day for the reigning world champions who head into the Champions Trophy on the back of a 174-run defeat.

Anyone with even a passing interest in cricket spread betting would be able to tell that this was something of a freak result and there was money to be made for canny punters. Before play in Colombo, our cricket spread betting traders set the Supremacy spread at 13-23 in Australia’s favour.

However, a 174-run victory for Sri Lanka saw the market settle at -174 with sellers winning a whopping 187x their stake.

REYNOLDSTOWN NOVICES’ CHASE – JINGKO BLUE 37.4-18.7-7.5 RACE INDEX (SETTLED AT 0)

With plenty of graded races taking place across the country, the Reynoldstown Chase at Ascot was expected to go to warm favourite Jingko Blue who was priced up at 25-28 on the Race Index spread.

The withdrawal of Lowry’s Bar after the market had been formed in the morning meant that instead of being a 50-25-10 Race Index market, it became a 37.4-18.7-7.5 spread.

Horse racing spread betting sellers didn’t need to worry about the new calculations however, as Jingko Blue unseated Nico de Boinville to ensure the final make up was zero.

The race was eventually won by The Changing Man as Jingko Blue sellers won the maximum of 25x their stake.

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS v CASTLEFORD TIGERS – WINNING MARGIN x TOTAL POINTS (SETTLED AT 0)

The Super League season started with a 1-0 win for Leigh after golden point on Thursday and Friday’s clash in Humberside also went to a golden point decider.

Castleford travelled to Hull as fairly heavy underdogs after a dismal pre-season and a third round Challenge Cup exit at the hands of Bradford Bulls. KR, for their part, were looking to put down a statement after losing in the Grand Final at Old Trafford.

A back-and-forth affair saw the match finish 18-18 before Mikey Lewis secured the all-important drop goal to give the Robins an opening weekend win.

This is the first Super League season where rugby league spread betting punters can trade the Winning Margin x Total Points spread and for the second night in a row, it settled at zero.

The market, which is 80 minutes only, was 1088-1188 before kick-off and those who placed a sell bet came out on top with a huge win of 1088x 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.
