5. Atletico Madrid v Juventus, Champions League

Date: 18.09.19
Market: Headed SMMs
Make-up: 475
Initial spread: 30-36
Potential profit: 439 x initial stake

In a high profile Group D opener, Atletico Madrid fought back from 2-0 down against Juventus to secure a 2-2 draw. After Juan Cuadrado had put the visitors ahead following the restart, Blaise Matuidi doubled that lead with a 65th minute header. Yet not long after Stefan Savic used his noggin to give Madrid a lifeline, with Hector Herrera salvaging a point in the 90th minute as the ball bounced off his bonce and into the back of the net.

You may notice a theme here. Those 3 late headers meant the Headed SMMs spread hit 475 – compare that to an initial spread of 30-36, and that’s a potential 439 times your opening stake.

3. new zealand v tonga, world cup warm-up 

Date: 07.09.19
Market: New Zealand Multi-Points (1st Half Points x 2nd Half Points)
Make-up: 2052 
Initial spread: 876-966 
Potential profit: 1086 x initial stake

The All Blacks reminded everyone why they were the pre-tournament favourites for the World Cup at the start of September, as they left Tonga for dead in a 92-7 victory.

This dominant performance, one that saw the hosts score 14 tries, meant the New Zealand Multi-Points make-up shot to a massive 2052 – even when you factor in a sizeable starting price of 876-966 that’s still a huge 1086 times your opening stake.

2. la  galaxy v vancouver whitecaps, mls

Date: 30.09.19
Market: Goals x Shirts
Make-up: 1477 
Initial spread: 336-376 
Potential profit: 1101 x initial stake

Zlatan Ibrahimović might keep making a lot of noise about being the best player in history of the MLS, but that hasn’t helped LA Galaxy avoid a pretty scattershot season.

None more so was that in evidence than in the September closing loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps, one that saw them gazumped in injury by a side that are the worst in the Western Conference. That 4-3 defeat, combined with goals from no. 33 Michaell Chirinos, no. 50 Theo Bair and no. 87 Tosaint Ricketts, meant the Goals x Shirts make-up hit 1477. Compare that to the initial spread of 336-376, and you get 1101 times your opening stake.

1. real betis v getafe, la liga

Date: 16.09.19
Market: Multi Bookings (1st Half Bookings Points x 2nd Half Bookings Points)
Make-up: 4675 
Initial spread: 620-740 
Potential profit: 3935 x initial stake

The result – a 1-1 draw – makes what was an increasingly unpleasant battle between Real Betis and Getafe. The first yellow card came in the 9^th minute; the final booking was an injury time red for Loren. In total there were 9 yellows and 2 reds, back-weighted to the 2^nd half of the game.

All-in-all that meant the Multi Bookings make came in at – drumroll please – a whopping 4675. Take away the restrained opening spread of 620-740, and you could have won 3935 times your initial stake.
