It was a jam-packed night for EFL Cup 2nd round action – but how much money could football spread betting punters have won? It’s the Daily Sports Spread Betting Roundup!

Who will Aston Villa play in the EFL Cup 3rd round?
The first game of Aston Villa’s 2020/21 season got off to a disastrous start. Within 2 minutes they had conceded to League One’s Burton Albion – a nightmare given the relegation chatter that is already surrounding the club.

Sell a 1st Burton Goal spread of 63.5-66.5, and that’s a very speedy 61.5 times your initial stake.

It took a bit of time, but Villa eventually responded, equalising in the 39th minute. That goal was extra important, as it came from record signing Ollie Watkins, scoring on his debut for the club. So expected was he to find the back of the net, however, that buying a PGM spread of 31-34 only made you 5 times your opening bet.

The game remained at deadlock until the 88th minute, when Jack Grealish – fresh off of signing a new contract – put the visitors in front. Back the youngster at a PGM spread of 16-19 and that’s 69 times your original wager. How long is Grealish’s new contract? He’s committed the next 5 years of his career to a club that might be in the Championship this time next season.

Putting the cherry on top was Keinan Davis, setting up a clash at Bristol or Northampton with an injury time 3rd. That pushed the Total Goal Minutes makeup to 219, against a starting price of 147-157 – a 62 times multiplier.

How many goals has Haller scored for West Ham?
Recovering from their loss at home to Newcastle, West Ham created a bit of momentum ahead of Saturday’s daunting trip to Arsenal with a 3-0 win over Charlton.

Getting his 2nd ever brace for the club, and first goals since February, the £45 million Sebastien Haller put a rare shift in, scoring in the 22nd and 26th minutes. WIth his total for West Ham now at 9 in 37 appearances, buying the Frenchman’s SMM spread of 49-57 made you 17 times your opening stake from a makeup of 74.

A 3rd from Felipe Anderson in the 80th minute, meanwhile, meant backing a West Ham/Charlton Goal Supremacy spread of 1.35-1.55 left you with 1.45 times your initial bet.

Who will West Ham face in the EFL Cup 3rd round? They will host either new Premier League-mates Leeds, or League One’s Hull.

What is the longest penalty shootout in English football history?
Goalless at the end of extra-time, the freshly-relegated Bournemouth and Crystal Palace fought in a brutal penalty shootout, one that finished 11-10 to the hosts and included both keepers missing their spotkicks.

Selling a Total Goals spread of 2.55-2.75, then, made you 2.55 times your original stake, while selling a Total Goal Minutes spread of 131-141 left you with 131 times your initial wager.

A gruelling shootout for sure – but not the longest. That honour is shared between Taunton Town and Truro City in the Southern League Challenge Cup, and Chelsea U-23s and Oxford United in the EFL Trophy – both games ended in a 34-penalty finale.

Who will Bournemouth play in the EFL Cup 3rd round? They’ve been rewarded for their efforts with a trip to Man City.
