Weekend's Big Winning Bets

Another exciting weekend of sporting action is behind us as EURO 2024 qualification drew closer to its final conclusion and saw one of the highest-scoring matches of recent times at the top level.

Novak Djokovic grabbed a record-extending seventh year-end Tour Finals victory, Australia ended India's home Cricket World Cup in agony for the hosts, and in the golf Ludvig Aberg claimed his maiden PGA Tour victory in the RSM Classic.

Online betting punters had opportunities for plenty of potential profits and, as always, we look at some of the best bets and spread betting winners from the weekend in our Big Winners roundup.

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.

FRANCE V GIBRALTAR - TOTAL GOAL MINUTES (SETTLED AT 698)

We start with the football action from the weekend, and one of the most dominant performances in many a year in top level International football, especially when the final score is taken into account. World Cup runners-up France were always expected to dominate their minnow opponents Gibraltar here, but a monumental 14-0 demolition was still surprising to see.

After falling three goals behind and seeing a man sent off within just 18 minutes, it was always going to be a long night for Gibraltar but perhaps even they did not expect the scale of what was to come. No fewer than nine French players got on the score sheet, including a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe and a double each by Olivier Giroud and Kingsley Coman.

For football spread betting punters, a buy bet on the Total Goal Minutes market proved to be a highly profitable wager, despite the already high starting spread. With the market settling at a massive 698 from a starting spread of 292 - 307, punters made 391x their opening stake!

J. SINNER V N. DJOKOVIC SET BETTING - DJOKOVIC 2-0 (SETTLED AT 100)

Tennis punters may have been expecting another epic showdown between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner after their meeting just days before in the group stage of the ATP Finals in Turin, but the championship match was ultimately somewhat of a damp squib.

The Serbian World Number One seemed to be in imperious form in his dominant defeat of Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals, while Sinner toiled to a hard-fought three set win over Daniil Medvedev, and the final seemed to be a foregone conclusion within the first few games of the opening set.

After Sinner was broken despite leading 40-15 in his second service game, Djokovic did not look back and confirmed his dominance in the match and at the top of men's tennis as he steamrolled to a comprehensive and comfortable 6-3 6-3 win.

For tennis spread betting punters, buying on the Djokovic 2-0 Set Betting spread proved a profitable decision. With the final make-up at 100 from a starting spread of 32.2 - 41.7, this meant a return of 48.3x punters' initial buy stake.

INDIA V AUSTRALIA 2023 CRICKET WORLD CUP FINAL - IND/AUS SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT -60)

And finally, we end with cricket action as Australia spoiled India's party to win the 2023 World Cup at the expense of the hosts. Incredibly, it was India's only loss of the entire tournament after ten consecutive wins and came at the most crucial juncture of all.

Australia's Travis Head struck a match winning hundred as they claimed a record-extending sixth men’s Cricket World Cup title, breaking Indian hearts with a six-wicket win in the final in Ahmedabad. Although India's hero Virat Kohli chipped in with a half-century, it was ultimately not enough to inspire his side to a victory.

Spread betting punters opting to place a sell bet and go against the home side and favourites were rewarded for that profitable decision. With the India/Australia Supremacy spread settling at -60 from a spread of 21 - 31, selling punters made 81x their opening stakes.
