Monday and Tuesday's Big Winning Bets

The New Year has brought with it plenty of action and online betting punters have been spoiled for choice with a smorgasbord of sporting action.

We have sifted through the results and matches to bring you three events where our spread betting punters landed some big winning bets.

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.

SCOTT WILLIAMS v LUKE HUMPHRIES – HUMPHRIES TON UPS (SETTLED AT 199)

Luke Littler’s exceptional performance against Rob Cross drew most of the headlines last night, but Luke Humphries’ surgical victory over Scott Williams (a man who in Michael Van Gerwen, Danny Noppert and Damon Heta had knocked out three of the top ten in the world) was every bit as impressive.

Cool Hand was on fire from the off with an average that at one point threatened to be record-breaking and a double success rate that gave Williams no chance of mounting any serious challenge.

Some of Humphries’ finishes were truly sublime and he managed six ton-plus checkouts including the Big Fish which was great news for those who had bought Humphries Ton Ups. In this darts betting market, every point over one hundred in a checkout counts (so a 170 adds 70 to final the makeup) and Humphries’ spread finished on 199 against a pre-match line of 61-68 as buyers won 131x their stake.

WEST HAM v BRIGHTON – TOTAL GOAL MINUTES (SETTLED AT 0)

Those who weren’t watching the Littler masterclass last night were probably tuned into to West Ham’s clash with Brighton and there was a big winning bet on one of our more popular football spread betting markets last night.

Traders and punters alike fancied there to be goals at the London Stadium last night, with the Total Goal Minutes spread set at 148-158. However, in a dour match, Brighton managed to keep their first clean sheet in 25 matches whilst the Hammers extended their own run of clean sheets to four matches as the pair played out a 0-0 draw.

It was a maximum win for those who placed a sell bet on the match as they pocketed 148x their initial stake.

DRAGONS v SCARLETS – MATCH MULTI-POINTS (SETTLED AT 136)

There was a New Year’s Day derby in the URC for rugby spread betting punters to enjoy as Scarlets made the trip east to Newport where they met the Dragons.

Both sides find themselves in the lower reaches of the table after a poor start to the season and there was little quality on display at a wet and wild Rodney Parade. In a low scoring affair, it was the hosts who prevailed 13-12, although had Sam Costelow not missed a simple penalty late on it would have been the Carmarthenshire side who would have been celebrating a rare away win.

Low scoring matches are always good news for sellers on our rugby union spread betting markets and so it proved in Wales as with 17 first half points and eight scored in the second, Match Multi-Points made up at 136 against a pre-match spread of 333-370 as sellers won 197x 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.
