A quadruple from Lewandowski, a record touchdown from Damien Williams and some last minute stupidity from Club Brugge – it’s the Top 5 Spread Bets of November 2019!

5. Red Star Belgrade v Bayern Munich, UEFA Champions League
Date: 26.11.19
Market: Robert Lewandowski SMM (Goal Minutes are doubled for 2nd, tripled for 3rd)
Make-up: 432
Initial spread: 103-123
Potential profit: 309 x initial stake

The undoubted highlight of a, by Bayern’s standards, so far troubling season, by the end of November Robert Lewandowski had scored 27 goals in 21 games. And that’s not factoring in the 4 scored for Poland internationally.

The highlight of last month was his quadruple at Red Star Belgrade – the fastest, at least between the 1st and 4th goals, in Champions League history. Understandably such a feat left the forward with a chunky SMM make-up of 432; take-off an initial spread of 103-123, and you get 309 times your original bet.

4. Cagliari v Fiorentina, Serie A
Date: 10.11.19
Market: Goals x Shirts (No. of Goals x Total Shirt Numbers of Goalscorers)
Make-up: 1358
Initial spread: 254-279
Potential profit: 1079 x initial stake

Making an unlikely push for a place in next season’s Champions League – extra-surprising given their relegation-flirtation in 2018/19 – Cagliari secured a massive 5-2 win over Fiorentina in early November.

Though the 7 goals certainly helped the Goals x Shirts make-up, it was the fact no. 28 Dusan Vlahovic got a brace for the visitors and no. 99 Giovanni Simeone – on loan from Fiorentina – scored for the hosts that sent it to 1358. Against a starting price of 254-279, that’s 1079 times your opening stake.

3. Minnesota Vikings @ Kansas City Chiefs, NFL
Date: 03.11.19
Market: Kansas City Chiefs Launch! (Longest Completed Pass x Longest Run From Scrimmage by Named Team)
Make-up: 3731
Initial spread: 970-1120
Potential profit: 2611 x initial stake

During their comeback at home to the Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City running back Damien Williams sprinted 91 yards for the longest touchdown of the game, the season and (joint with Jamaal Charles in 2012) Chiefs history.

Multiple that by the game’s longest completed pass of 41 yards – caught by Tyreek Hill – and you get a Kansas City Chiefs Launch! make-up of 3731, compared to an opening spread of 970-1120. In other words, 2611 times your initial stake.

2. Galatasaray v Club Brugge, UEFA Champions League
Date: 26.11.19
Market: Cross Bookings (Team A Bookings Points x Team B Bookings Points)
Make-up: 4000
Initial spread: 660-760
Potential profit: 3240 x initial stake

Things got rather silly at the end of Club Brugge’s 1-1 draw at Galatasaray. Krepin Diatta’s injury time equaliser prompted the Senegalese midfielder to remove his shirt in celebration, getting a 2nd yellow for his enthusiasm. Just as overexcited, Clinton Mata received a 2nd booking for breaking a corner flag in jubilation, prompting a late surge in Bookings points for the Belgians.

Times Brugge’s 80 points – Federico Ricca was carded earlier in the game – by Galatasary’s 50 points for 5 separate yellows and you get a Cross Bookings make-up of 4000. Minus a starting price of 660-760 and that’s a 3240 multiplier to your initial bet.

1. Mark Allen v Mark Selby, 2019 Champion of Champions
Date: 05.11.19
Market: Frames2 Multi Points (Player A Points x Player B Points)
Make-up: 5250
Initial spread: 1505-1654
Potential profit: 3596 x initial stake

After winning the 1st frame in their Champion of Champions quarter-final, it looked like Mark Allen had lost his grip on the fixture, losing the 2nd and 3rd frames to Mark Selby (Allen eventually won 6-2).

It was the 2nd that was of most interest to spread betters. With Selby narrowly winning 75-70, the Frames2 Multi Points make-up came in at a hefty 5250 – factor in the starting price of 1505-1654, and you get a November-best 3596 times your original bet.
