Performance Superiority (settled at 77)

West Ham had never won a group game in Europe, but those who backed them in the Performance Superiority index, set at 17-22, made a tidy 55 times their bet. This spread matches teams up in performance points, which are awarded at 25 for a win, 10 each for a draw or a clean sheet, 15 per goal scored, 3 per corner taken, and -5 and -15 for yellow and red cards. The Hammers looked a class above Zagreb, and David Moyes showed the strength of his squad with a succession of substitutes that maintained the quality.

Buyers of Cross-Bookings (set at 555-645), which multiplies one team’s bookings points by the other, made 655 times their stake, while buyers of Multi-Bookings (set at 450-550), which multiplies first half bookings points by second half, made a massive 1100 times their bet.

Goal Minutes (settled at 301)

That late goal from the ex-Chelsea man meant buyers of the Goal Minutes spread (152-162) won 139 times their bet.

Before the game, the spread was set at 345-425, meaning sellers won 345 times their stake.
