Chelsea beat faltering Reds in the FA Cup

Another shock defeat for the once unstoppable Liverpool, a nervy win for Newcastle, and an extra time victory for Sheffield all feature in an FA Cup heavy Daily Spread Betting Roundup. But how much could you’ve won?

Reds falter once again – Chelsea v Liverpool
In the space of a few days Liverpool have seen their hopes of an invincible Premier League season, and their chance at a treble, disintegrate.

Saturday’s shock 3-0 defeat at Watford was followed on Tuesday night by a 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup, putting extra pressure on next Wednesday’s visit from Atletico Madrid.

With Spreadex initially offering a choice Chelsea/Liverpool Goal Supremacy spread of -0.1-0.1, buying at that price would have netted you 1.9 times your initial stake.

That this was the 2nd game in a row Liverpool failed to score in also meant backing a Chelsea Clean Sheet binary spread of 20-26.4 made you 73.6 times your original bet.

Magpies survive Baggies comeback – West Brom v Newcastle
Within minutes of the restart it looked like Newcastle had their 5th round visit to West Brom all sewn-up.

A 1st half brace from Miguel Almiron – buy him at a starting SMM spread of 14-18 and you won 105 times your initial stake thanks to a make-up of 123 – and a goal for Valentino Lazaro in the 47th minute saw the Magpies lead 3-0.

Yet the Baggies weren’t going down without a fight, mounting a spirited if unsuccessful comeback to end the game 3-2. Thanks to that the Total Goal Minutes market came in at 289 – take-off an opening spread of 122-132, and you’re left with 157 times your original bet.

Blades win after extra time – Reading v Sheffield United
Ensuring a Premier League clean-sweep, Sheffield United saw off Reading after extra time. The Blades had taken the lead early on thanks to David McGoldrick’s 2nd minute header. Sell a 1st Match Goal spread of 36-39 and that’s a quick 34 times your opening bet.

The Royals then equalised just before half time, courtesy of a converted spot-kick from George Puscas. Buying a Penalty Goal Minutes spread of 9-12 bagged you 31 times your initial stake.

Unable to find a breakthrough in normal time, it took an extra time header from substitute Billy Sharp for the visitors to secure a place in the quarter-finals. Back a Sheffield United to win in Extra Time binary of 5.8-13.4, and you were left with 86.6 times your original wager.
