Another exciting weekend of sporting action is behind us with the FA Cup action producing plenty of thrills for football betting punters.

Meanwhile, in other sport, the new tennis season is in full swing as Grigor Dimitrov and Andrey Rublev were crowned as the first champions of the ATP season in Brisbane and Hong Kong respectively, and there was an impressive comeback in the weekend's NFL action.

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.

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.

MAN CITY V HUDDERSFIELD - M.C/HUD TGM SUPREMACY (SETTLED AT 267)

We start with the football betting action from the weekend, and among the sides in FA Cup action, reigning champions Man City secured a serene passage through to the fourth round with a 5-0 demolition of Huddersfield at the Etihad.

With star playmaker Kevin de Bruyne making his return from injury and even providing an assist upon his return, a brace from Phil Foden alongside goals from Julian Alvarez, Jeremy Doku and an own goal was enough to do the damage.

For football spread betting punters, a clean sheet for the Cityzens meant a buy bet on our Man City/Huddersfield Total Goal Minutes Supremacy market proved to be a highly profitable wager. With City's goal minutes totaling 267 and the Terriers drawing a blank, this meant a make-up of 267 from a starting spread of 136 - 150, which meant a profit of 117x punters' opening buy stake!

H. RUNE V G. DIMITROV SET BETTING - DIMITROV 2-0 (SETTLED AT 100)

Tennis betting punters may be itching for the first Grand Slam of the season which begins next week in Melbourne, Australia, but the first week of 2024 crowned another champion Down Under as Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov overcame young Dane Holger Rune to secure his first title since 2017 in Brisbane.

Dimitrov has had previous success at the tournament and has had somewhat of a renaissance in his career over the last year, but getting over the line here to win another trophy will certainly put him in good stead for 2024 - could the man so often dubbed 'Baby Fed' for his game likeness to the great Swiss finally win his own first Grand Slam?

That remains to be seen, but Dimitrov was imperious in this one to close out the match in two (albeit close) sets, 7-6 6-4. For tennis spread betting punters, buying on the Dimitrov 2-0 Set Betting spread proved a profitable decision. With the final make-up at 100 from a starting spread of 30.5 - 36.5, this meant a return of 63.5x punters' initial buy stake.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS V LOS ANGELES RAMS - SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS MULTI-POINTS (SETTLED AT 0)

And finally, we end with American Football betting action from the NFL where the Los Angeles Rams nicked a razor-thin single point victory over the San Francisco 49ers. It was the manner of the comeback that raised eyebrows though, and that proved highly profitable for savvy bettors.

After the first two Quarters of the match, the home side looked to be fully in control leading 20 points to 7 after Elijah Mitchell, Sam Darnold and Ronnie Bell all scored touchdowns. However, some kicking profligacy from Jake Moody meant extra points were missed, and this seemed to signal the beginning of a potential collapse in the second half.

Regardless, it was difficult to imagine just how much of a collapse it would be. The home side failed to score a single point in the last two Quarters, allowing the Rams to come back and steal the match by 21 points to 20.

Spread betting punters opting to place a sell bet on the 49ers multi-points market were rewarded for that profitable decision. With the market settling at 0 from a spread of 124 - 144, selling punters made 124x their opening stakes!
