Liverpool inch closer to title, McGregor takes 40 seconds

Liverpool stride closer to the title, McGregor takes less than a minute and Bingham comes back against Carter – it’s the Daily Spread Betting Roundup! But how much could you’ve won?

One step closer to history – Liverpool v Man United
With City drawing against Crystal Palace and Leicester losing at Burnley, it wouldn’t have really mattered if Liverpool had slipped up against Man United. Yet Jurgen Klopp is at the helm of a machine that just can’t stop, the league leaders beating their visitors 2-0 to cement a 16 point lead (with a game in hand!)

Virgil van Dijk got things started pretty early, scoring in the 14th minute. That the ball came off his bonce meant buying the Dutchman’s own Headed PGM spread of 2.5-5 made you 9 times your initial stake.

United forced the hosts to wait for the follow-up. But then Alisson found Mohamed Salah with a perfect clearance in injury time, the Egyptian’s goal causing the keeper to run the length of the pitch in celebration. It also meant buying a Last match Goal spread of 64-67 left you with 23 times your starting bet.

2nd half collapse for Saints – Southampton v Wolves
In the most remarkable match of the weekend, Southampton blew a 2-0 1st half lead against Wolves to lose the game 3-2, stalling the momentum built up over their 6-game unbeaten streak across the league and FA Cup.

Pedro Neto brought the visitors back into it not long after the restart, before a brace from Raul Jimenez – in the 65th and 76th minutes – helped lift Wolves into 6th place. It also meant the Mexican forward saw a SMM make-up of 217 against a starting spread of 22-27 – that’s 190 times your opening bet.

40 second blitz – Conor McGregor v Daniel Cerrone
Conor McGregor has said he wanted a long fight ahead of Saturday night, a chance to get some rounds in.

Instead the Irishman took just 40 seconds to put away Cowboy Daniel Cerrone, meaning selling a starting Fight Minutes spread of 9.25-10.75 would have made you 9.25 times your initial stake.

Bingham usurps the Captain – Ali Carter v Stuart Bingham
Both first time finalists, Stuart Bingham and Ali Carter put on a tense climax at Ally Pally, the 43-year old eventually beating the Captain 10-8, after turning around a 5-3 deficit.

The closest frame – and there were a fair few tight ones – was the 6th, with Bingham winning 81-69. That caused a huge Frame 6 Multi Points make-up of 5589, compared to a starting price of 1406-1556. In other words, you could have won a whopping 4033 times your initial bet.
