Merseyside derby controversy, Tottenham bottle it, and Man United blitz Newcastle – but how much could football spread betting fans have won? It’s the Daily Sports Spread Betting Roundup!

What are the odds on Tottenham finishing in the top 4?
Gareth Bale had a rubbish return to Tottenham, coming on with 20 minutes to go only to see Tottenham blow a 3-0 lead against West Ham.

Spurs were on fire in the first 16 minutes, quickly going 3-0 up thanks to Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. If you sold a 1st Match Goal spread of 32-35, Son’s 1st minute opener made you a very speedy 31 times your initial stake.

And despite a brace, you also needed to sell Kane’s SMM spread of 58-68 if you wanted to make 18 times your opening bet from a makeup of 40.

West Ham were the ones who helped you make the real money, however. Both Fabian Balbuena’s 82nd minute comeback kick-starter, and Davinson Sanchez’s 85th minute own goal were headers, as was Kane’s 16th minute 2nd. Buy a Headed SMMs spread of 43-50, and a huge makeup of 435 won you 385 times your original wager.

Spurs are now at 11/8 to finish in the top 4, with a Season Points spread of 64.5-66 – the same as Man United.

Where will Man United finish in 2020/21?
A late blitz gave Man United a 4-1 win at Newcastle on Saturday, as the club bounced back from their 6-1 defeat to Spurs.

Buy a Total Goal Minutes spread of 145-155, then, and a makeup of 291 won you 136 times your initial wager.

And though actually he got the final goal of the game, your better bet with Marcus Rashford was to buy his Assist Minutes spread of 9-12. Helping out Bruno Fernandes in the 86th minute and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the 90th, his AM makeup rose to 176, netting you 164 times your opening stake.

That’s boosted United’s hopes of the top 4, with them now at a fixed odds price of 8/5.

Who do Man United face in the Champions League this Tuesday? It’s a nightmare opener against last season’s beaten finalists PSG, with SpreadEX offering a PSG/Man United Goal Supremacy spread of 0.85-1.05.

How many players have scored in the 5 opening games of the season?
A should’ve been red card, an actual red card, a major injury and a disallowed winner – there was plenty of drama during the biggest Merseyside derby in years.

A straight sending off for Richarlison helped push the Bookings market to 75, against a starting spread of 42-46 – that’s 29 times your original bet. The makeup arguably should’ve been 100, however, after Jordan Pickford left Virgil van Dijk needing surgery.

On a more positive note, Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in his 5th consecutive game of the season, making it 2-2 in the 81st minute. Buy him at a PGM spread of 17-20 and that’s 61 times your initial stake.

He is only the 4th player ever to score in each of the season’s 5 opening games, following in the footsteps of Jose Antonio Reyes, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero.

Unbeaten after 5 games, what are the odds on Everton winning the league? They’re at 18/1 fixed odds and a binary winner spread of 3.4-5.3, but only at a Season Points spread of 62.5-64.

And who are the favourites to win the Premier League? After beating Arsenal 1-0, Man City are back to being odds on leaders at 17/20, with a Season Points spread of 84-85.5 to Liverpool’s 77.5-79.
