Wednesday and Thursday's Big Winning Bets

Online betting punters were treated to a smorgasbord of action this week and we have run through the major sporting events to find three big winning bets from the last few days, starting in West London.

Please remember Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit. They may not be suitable for everyone so please ensure you fully understand the risks involved.

CHELSEA v MANCHESTER UNITED – TOTAL GOAL MINUTES (SETTLED AT 343)

There was drama at Stamford Bridge last night as Manchester United shipped two very late goals to lose 4-3 in a match which they looked to have sewn up.

The hosts raced into a two-goal lead, but in an action packed first half were pegged back to 2-2 by the break thanks to two quickfire goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes. With the wind in their sail, Erik ten Hag’s side took the lead after Antony found Garnacho with a sublime ball, the Uruguayan was then able to nod past the onrushing Djordje Petrovic.

The Londoners looked to have rescued a late point through Cole Palmer’s penalty but there was still time for the England international to grab another via a deflected effort to send the home fans wild.

Also going wild were those who bought one of our football spread betting markets: Total Goal Minutes. With goals after the 90 minute mark counting as 90, the final makeup was 343 against a pre-match spread of 175-190 as buyers landed a win of 153x their stake.

MELBOURNE STORM v BRISBANE BRONCOS – MATCH CROSS POINTS (SETTLED AT 1088)

Viewers who tuned into the NRL yesterday morning were in for a treat as Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos served up a modern day classic in Victoria. In a see-sawing match, two late tries from Tyran Wishart and Nick Meaney looked to have given the Storm a comeback win.

However, there was still time for young prop Benjamin Te Kura to score on his debut after coming off the bench to set up a nervy finish for the hosts. With the match finishing 34-32 in Melbourne’s favour, we were treated to the curious sight of two of our rugby league spread betting markets – Match Cross-Points and Match Multi-Points. With the Cross-Points (Melbourne points multiplied by Brisbane’s total) spread at 393-435, buyers landed a big win of 653x their stake.

DELHI CAPITALS v KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS – SIXES SQUARED (SETTLED AT 841)

The gentle hum of Headingley as Yorkshire get their County Championship campaign underway against Leicestershire today is a world removed from the big hitting, glitzy world of the IPL.

Traditionalists might bemoan the fact that the IPL dwarfs other forms of cricket at the moment, but those who watched Delhi’s match with Kolkata on Wednesday were tuning into a six hitting masterclass. West Indian opener Sunil Narine launched seven sixes as Kolkata hit 18 on their way to a mammoth score of 272-6.

Chasing that down was always likely to be a tall order with Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs the only Capitals players to really get any kind of momentum. Still, they added 11 sixes to Kolkata’s 18 as the Sixes Squared cricket spread betting market settled at 841.

With the pre-match spread at 357-410, that left buyers winning 431x their stake.

Please note that these are examples of winning bets from the past week, and it is important to remember that spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit.
