Daily Spread Betting Roundup 15.10.19

A resilient night for England, Euro 2020 qualification for Ukraine, and Northern Ireland’s first away friendly victory for 13 years all make the Daily Spread Betting Roundup! But how much could you have won?

England show their class, in more ways than on – Bulgaria vs England
In a game that looked like it wouldn’t be able to finish – and arguably shouldn’t have been allowed to finish – England kept composed in the face of an awful racist atmosphere to hammer Bulgaria 6-0, taking a step closer to Euro 2020 in the process.

Compared to an opening England/Bulgaria (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 1.85-2.05, that score-line could have won you 3.95 times your initial stake if you’d bought before kick-off.

The superb Raheem Sterling netted twice, seeing his SMM make-up hit 183 against a starting price of 39-45; in other words, 138 times your opening bet. Ross Barkley, meanwhile, got a slightly more surprising 1st half brace, causing his SMM make-up to rise to 84 against a measly 13-17 at the start of the game.

Ukraine nab Group B top spot – Ukraine vs Portugal
Despite being reduced to 10-men for the final 20 minutes, Ukraine booked their tickets to Euro 2020 as Group B winners by beating Portugal 2-1, in a game that saw Cristiano Ronaldo score his 700th career goal.

Taras Stepanenko’s 2nd yellow contributed to a Bookings make-up of 85. Take away the already high initial spread of 46-50, and you get 35 times your original bet. If you were a bit more ambitious, and opted for a Multi Bookings spread of 450-550, you could have earned 750 times your opening stake thanks to a make-up of 1300.

First away friendly win for 13 years – Czech Republic vs Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland did what England were unable to do last Friday, and beat the Czech Republic in Prague. It was a surprisingly lively counter for a friendly, one that had seen the visitors got into the break 3-0 up, only to have to hold their nerve in the 2nd half as they let the hosts come back to 3-2.

That flurry meant if you’d bought a Total Goals spread at 2.4-2.6, you would have ended up winning 2.4 times your initial bet.
