Top 5 Spread Bets of October 2019

5. Iran v Cambodia, 2022 World Cup Qualifier

Date: 10.10.19
Market: Total Goal Minutes
Make-up: 640 
Initial spread: 274-289 
Potential profit: 351 x initial stake

In the first time women were allowed to attend a match in Tehran for 40 years, Iran offered up a night to remember, hammering Cambodia 14-0 in their World Cup qualifier.

Zenit St Petersburg’s Sardar Azmoun got a hat-trick, while Karim Ansarifard scored 4. That onslaught, with the goals split evenly across both halves, caused the Total Goal Minutes make-up to reach 640, against an opening spread of 274-289. That leaves a potential 351 times your original stake.

4. RK Metaloplasti v HC Meshkov Brest, SEHA League

Date: 03.10.19
Market: Cross Goals (Team A Goals x Team B Goals)
Make-up: 1155
Initial spread: 687-741 
Potential profit: 414 x initial stake

This likely requires a bit of backstory. Serbia’s RK Metalopastika hosted Belarussian side HC Meshkov Brest in a SEHA League match at the start of the month – that’s the South East Handball Association League to you and me.

There the Serbs secured their first win in the competition so far, beating Brest 35-33. Due to just how close the fixture was, the Cross Goals make-up shot to 1155. Take off a starting price of 687-741, and you get 414 times your opening stake.

3. Arsenal v Guimaraes, UEFA Europa League

Date: 24.10.19
Market: Goals x Shirts 
Make-up: 960
Initial spread: 389-422
Potential profit: 538 x initial stake

In an absolute mess of a month, Arsenal repeatedly found themselves floundering around, not least in their Europa League visit from Vitoria de Guimaraes. By half time the Portuguese side were leading 2-1; with 10 minutes left that was still the case. And then Nicolas Pepe scored a pair of free kicks, saving the Gunners’ bacon finally showing some of the promise much-hyped over the summer.

With Pepe wearing the no. 19 shirt, Gabriel Martinelli at no. 35, Marcus Edwards – a rare Englishman abroad – at no. 23 and, most importantly, Bruno at no. 96, the Goals x Shirts make-up came in at 960. Buy at an opening spread of 389-422, and you get 538 times your initial stake.

2. Barcelona v Sevilla, La Liga

Date: 06.10.19
Market: Cross Bookings (Team A Booking Points x Team B Booking Points)
Make-up: 3000
Initial spread: 730-785
Potential profit: 2215 x initial stake

Barcelona were on a mad one when they faced Sevilla at the start of October. They managed to scored 4 goals, keep a clean sheet AND finish the game with 9 men. In his first ever appearance in the senior side, Ronald Araujo received a straight red in the 87th minute, while Ousmane Dembele received a 2nd yellow seconds later.

Add onto that another 4 yellows for Barca, and the host’s Booking Points came in at 100. Multiple that by the 30 points Sevilla received for their trio of yellow cards, and you get a massive Cross Bookings make-up of 3000. Take off a starting spread of 730-785, and that’s 2215 times your initial stake.

1. Kyren Wilson v Liang Wenbo, 2019 English Open

Date: 15.10.19
Market: Frame 3 Multi Points (Player A x Player B Points)
Make-up: 4278
Initial spread: 1440-1590
Potential profit: 2688 x initial stake

Though Kyren Wilson ended up dominating his 1st round English Open meeting with Liang Wenbo, winning 4-1, there were a few hairy moments. After losing the 2nd frame 0-76, drawing things to 1-1, the 3rd frame ended up being where the 27-year old seized control. Wilson even won the nail biter 69-62, before taking the next 2 frames by 76-21 and 71-21 respectively.

The closeness of that third frame meant the Frames 3 Multi Points make-up hit a whopping 4278. Compare that to an initial spread of 1440-1590, and you could’ve won 2688 times your original bet.
