Daily Spread Betting Roundup 16.10.19

Ireland are forced to go to the wire, Italy remain unbeaten and Pukki on target once again – it’s the Daily Spread Betting Roundup!

But how much could you’ve won?

Ireland’s hopes on a knife edge – Switzerland vs Republic of Ireland
Though it’s hardly been an inspiring campaign, Ireland had nevertheless avoided losing any of their qualifiers under Mick McCarthy – until Tuesday night, that is. A 2-0 defeat in Switzerland means their hopes of reaching Euro 2020 will go down to the wire, needing to get a result against Denmark in November (assuming the Danes and the Swiss manage to beat Group D whipping boys Gibraltar).

It was a feisty game at times, culminating in a 2nd yellow for skipper Seamus Coleman with 20 minutes left to go (Darren Randolph brilliantly saved the subsequent penalty). That pushed the Bookings make-up to 85 against a starting price of 41-45 – in other words, you could have won 40 times your initial stake.

Taking a different tact, an Ireland/Switzerland (h) Booking Supremacy spread of 4-8 could have netted you 37 times your opening bet due to a make-up of 45.

Azzurri enjoy Tuesday night stroll – Liechtenstein vs Italy
Italy are now one of only two sides to win every single one of their qualifiers, the other being Group I toppers Belgium. Admittedly, it wasn’t like their run was ever in doubt on Tuesday night, as they travelled to Liechtenstein.

The Azzurri strolled to a 5-0 victory, one that saw a brace from Torino’s 25-year old Andrea Belotti. Even when factoring in a massive starting price of 118-143, his SMM make-up of 250 still could have won you 107 times your initial bet.

The fact two of Belotti’s goals came from his noggin, as did Alessio Romagnoli’s 77th minute goal, also meant the Headed SMMs make-up rocketed to 494. Take away the original spread of 79-91, and you get a whopping 403 times your opening bet.

Pukki on point – Finland vs Armenia
Unsurprisingly Teemu Pukki was the star of Finland’s 3-0 win over Armenia, once that strengthens the Eagle-owls’ chances of reaching their first ever Euros competition.

From an opening SMM spread of 56-66 the Canary saw his make-up hit 237 – that’s a potential 171 multiplier to your original stake.
