The 2020 Masters final, a mad evening in Serie A, and a late draw between Chelsea and Arsenal all make the Top 5 Spread Bets of January 2020. But how much money could you have won?

Multiple all that together and you end up with a Goals x Corners x Bookings total of 4950. Take off the starting price of 1400-1525, and you get 3425 times your original bet.
