It may not be the most popular event with punters, but Wednesday’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers produced plenty of money-making opportunities. So, how much did football spread betting fans win?

When was the last time Belgium beat Wales?
For the first time since 2012, world no. 1s Belgium beat Wales, finally getting revenge for their Euro 2016 exit.

Wales had conjured memories of 2016 in the 10th minute, going 1-0 up via Harry Wilson. Sell an insulting 1st Wales Goal spread of 68.5-71.5, and you won 58.5 times your initial stake.

However, Kevin De Bruyne drew the hosts level 12 minutes later, before Thorgan Hazard headed them in front in the 28th minute. Eden’s little brother was the better bet there – buy his PGM spread of 7-10, and that’s 18 times your starting wager.

A 73rd minute spot-kick from Romelu Lukaku then put the game beyond doubt, while creating a 61 times multiplier for anyone buying a Belgium Penalty Goal Minutes spread of 9-12.

Who is Serbia’s all-time top goalscorer?
Piling the pressure on Stephen Kenny – who is yet to win a game as manager – Serbia came from behind to beat Ireland 3-2.

It was a big night for substitute Aleksander Mitrovic. The Fulham forward came off the bench and scored twice, in the 68th and 75th minutes, putting him level with Stjepan Bobek as his country’s top goalscorer.

That brace also left him with an SMM makeup of 218. Buy at his sub spread of 14-18, and that’s 200 times your initial bet.

When was the last time a player scored a hat-trick against the Netherlands?
Getting the first hat-trick against the Netherlands since Klaus Allofs for Germany in 1980, 35-year old Burak Yilmaz helped Turkey to a shock 4-2 win over the Netherlands.

If you bought Yilmaz at a SMM spread of just 16-20, a makeup of 326 saw you walk away with 306 times your opening stake.

What was the highest scoring World Cup qualifier on Wednesday?
Besting the 5 goals between Serbia and Ireland, and the 6 seen between Turkey and the Netherlands, the Czech Republic’s trip to Estonia finished 6-2 to the visitors.

Buy a Total Goals spread of 3.6-3.8, and you picked up 4.2 times your starting bet.

Or, back a Total Goal Minutes spread of 180-195, and a makeup of 322 won you 127 times your initial stake.
