MAN UTD V MAN CITY FOOTBALL SPREAD BETTING PRICES

Our football spread betting prices have the Supremacy as Man City / Man Utd (h) at 0.25–0.45. This means a ‘buy’ bet at 0.45 would need Manchester City to win by one goal to start turning a profit (e.g. a one-goal win would win 0.55× your stake, a two-goal win 1.55× your stake, a three-goal win 2.55× your stake, etc.).

A 0.25 ‘sell’ bet would need either a draw, or Manchester United to win, to turn a profit (e.g. a draw would win 0.25× your stake, and a Manchester United win by one goal would win 1.25× your stake, etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3.25–3.45. This means a 3.45 ‘buy’ bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit (three goals would result in a small loss of 0.45× your stake, while four goals would return a profit of 0.55× your stake). Conversely, a 3.25 ‘sell’ bet would need three goals or fewer to be scored in the match to turn a profit (four goals would result in a loss of 0.75× your stake).

Remember that with spread betting, if you get the bet wrong, losses can exceed your stake/deposit. For example, a 3.45 ‘buy’ Total Goals bet would lose 3.45× your stake if the match ended 0–0. In the 0.45 ‘buy’ Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended a draw, the bet would lose 0.45× your stake. If Manchester United won by one goal, then it would lose 1.45× your stake, etc. And in the 0.25 ‘sell’ Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.75× your stake on a 1–0 Manchester City win, 1.75× your stake on a 2–0 Manchester City win, etc.
