Daily Spread Betting Roundup 09.07.19

The latest Wimbledon shock, another African Cup of Nations penalty shootout, and a big score line in the Intercontinental Cup’s battle of the despots all feature in our Daily Spread Betting Roundup!

Barty loses a game of Riske – Wimbledon
World no. 1 Ashleigh Barty couldn’t build on June’s French Open victory, losing her 4th round face-off against the unseeded Alison Riske. At one point, however, that result looked very unlikely; with Barty picking up the 1st set 6-3, Riske’s to win match binary spread had fallen to a tiny 0.4-5.3.

But then the American turned the tide with relative ease, nabbing the 2nd and 3rd sets 6-2 6-3, and giving anyone who backed her at her lowest moment 94.7 times their initial stake.


Tunisia (eventually) survive late own goal – African Cup of Nations
Taking the lead in the 73rd minute courtesy of a goal from Taha Khenissi, Tunisia looked like they had their place in the African Cup of Nations quarter-finals locked down. And then Rami Bedoui put the ball in the back of his own net in injury time, forcing the game to extra time and, eventually, penalties. Luckily for Bedoui, the Eagles of Carthage did still go through, converting all 5 of their spot kicks.

If you had sensed that the game would go all the way just after Tunisia’s late opener, and backed them to win on penalties at a binary spread of 0.5-5.9, you could have won 94.1 times your initial stake.


Syria triumph in battle of the tyrants – Intercontinental Cup
Though an international competition featuring India, Syria, Tajikstan and North Korea hardly sounds like a mouth-watering prospect, the 2019 Intercontinental Cup has at least produced goals galore in its opening 2 games. Sunday saw Tajikistan mount a 2nd half comeback against hosts India, coming from 2-0 down to win 4-2, while Monday saw Syria pull off a similar feat, beating North Korea 5-2 despite conceding within 3 minutes.

Anyone keeping an eye on that latter fixture could have made a pretty penny, as the Total Goal Minutes make-up hit 392. Against an opening spread of 140-150, that’s 242 times your initial stake.
