Sociedad shock Real, Wolves dominant St Helens

A spicy surprise win for Real Sociedad over Real Madrid – just look at the size of the Shirts x Bookings make-up – and a shock loss for St Helens at Warrington both feature our Daily Spread Betting Roundup! But how much could you’ve won?

Sociedad stun their hosts – Real Madrid v Real Sociedad
In the more thrilling of Thursday’s Copa del Rey scalps – Barcelona lost to Athletic Bilbo due to an injury time own goal from Sergio Busquets – Real Sociedad withstood a late comeback from their hosts to beat Real Madrid 4-3.

Alexander Isak was key to Sociedad’s victory, his quick brace in the 2nd half at that point putting them up 3-0. With his goals coming in the 54th and 56th minutes, he saw a SMM make-up of 166 against a starting spread of 18-22 – that’s 144 times your original stake.

It was niggly affair as well, culminating in a 2nd yellow for Andoni Gorosabel deep into injury time. He helped push the Bookings make-up to 85. Take off an already high starting price of 50-54, and you get 31 times your initial bet.

Thanks to those liberal bookings, alongside the 7 goals, there was some massive money to be made from the Shirts x Bookings market. Coming in at 9520, if you’d bought at 2275-2475, you’d have won 7045 times your opening wager.

Wolves take a chunk of the champs – Warrington v St Helens
In a major upset, defending champions St Helens were thoroughly spanked on Thursday night, losing 19-0 to a Warrington side that had been beaten by Wigan in the season opener just a week previous.

What made the result all the more surprising was that the Saints had looked so dominant last Friday, hammering Salford Red Devils 48-8 in a replay of the 2019 Grand Final.

That game had seen 8 tries, hence a Total Tries spread of 5.9-6.3 heading to the Halliwell Jones Stadium. Instead the Wolves got 3 for themselves and that’s it. You needed to sell that opening price, then, to make 2.9 times your initial stake.

Selling a starting St Helens/Warrington (h) Points Supremacy spread of 2-5, meanwhile, left you with 21 times your original bet.

Even better than that, thanks to tries in the 31st, 35th and 54th minutes from Daryl Clark, Tom Lineham and Josh Charnley respectively, selling a St Helens/Warrington Try Minutes Supremacy spread of 26-42 made you a handy 146 times your opening wager.
