Weekend Spread Betting Roundup 08.07.19

Another Women’s World Cup win for the USA, Cori Gauff’s 3rd round thriller, some Argentine aggression and a big batting Saturday for Sharma and Warner all feature in our Weekend Spread Betting Roundup!

Rapinoe fires USA to record 4th title – Women’s World Cup
With an air of inevitability, the USA secured their 4th Women’s World Cup title on Sunday, beating European champions the Netherlands 2-0. The game was notable for the Americans failing to score early, the first time in France that they hadn’t found the back of the net within 12 minutes.

Instead they didn’t take the lead until just after the hour mark, as Megan Rapinoe converted the umpteenth penalty of the competition. Not only did that give the US captain the Golden Boot – she bested Alex Morgan and Ellen White on minutes per goal – AND the Golden Ball for best player, but caused a USA Penalty Goal Minutes make-up of 61. Against the original spread of 12-15, that’s 46 times your initial stake.


Gauff completes thrilling comeback – Wimbledon
Cori Gauff continues to be the biggest story of Wimbledon 2019. Last Friday it really looked like the 15-year old – who, remember, knocked out Venus Williams in the 1st round – was going to exit at the hands of Polona Hercog, only for the American to save 2 match points in the 2nd set. She completed her thrilling comeback in the 3rd set, winning 7-5 to set up another potential upset on Monday when she faces 7th seed Simona Halep.

Though she started at a binary to win match spread of 60-65.3, late in the 2nd set Gauff had fallen to a spread of just 0-3. If you’d opted for her teen spirit to carry her through at that very moment, you could have netted 97 times your initial stake.


Centuries for Sharma and Warner – Cricket World Cup
Following a serious showing on Saturday, only 9 runs separate Rohit Sharma and David Warner, even if the former’s 647 was completed in 8 innings to the latter’s 638 in 9.

Sharma managed his 5th century of the World Cup, and 3rd in a row, against Sri Lanka, as he batted 103. Against his opening Total Player Runs spread of 49-54, that’s 49 times your initial stake.

Though Australia may have shockingly lost against South Africa – leaving them with a semi-final against England –Warner beat out his Indian rival on Saturday, securing 122 runs. If you’d bought at an opening Total Player Runs spread of 50-55, you could have picked up 67 times your initial stake.


Fighty battle for 3rd place – Copa America
Somewhat predictably, this Copa America hasn’t been light on bookings. Nevertheless, the 3rd place battle between Argentina and Chile seemed especially testy, with captains Lionel Messi and Gary Medel both getting sent off after just 36 minutes.

With another 4 yellows for Argentina and 3 for Chile, the Cross Bookings make-up came in at a huge 3575 against an opening spread of 905-1045. That’s a potential 2530 times your initial stake.
