The Euros may almost be upon us, but there has been plenty of online betting opportunities for canny punters to make a profit away from the football over the last few days.

With plenty of cricket, racing, and tennis action, we round up the big winning bets from Monday and Tuesday.

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.

MIDDLESEX v SOMERSET – SIXES SQUARED (SETTLED AT 9)

The T20 World Cup may well be catching the eye of cricket spread betting punters lately, but the T20 Blast has been ploughing on and Somerset recorded a huge win over an out-of-sorts Middlesex last night.

Placed into bat by the visitors, Middlesex’s top order were torn to shreds by Craig Overton and Riley Meredith who finished with career-best figures of 4-12. A 28-run last-wicket stand from Tom Helm and Noah Cornwall meant things were not as catastrophic as they could have been for the hosts, but they still recorded their worst ever Blast total of 78 runs.

With Middlesex finding it hard to score, Somerset had all the time in the world to reach their target and some fairly risk averse batting saw them do that in the 13^th over. The state of the game meant that sixes were at a premium and cricket spread betting punters who placed a sell bet on Sixes Squared were in the money.

Before play began the spread was 232-260 and with the market settling at 9, sellers landed a win of 223x their stake.

WETHERBY 12^th JUNE – FAVOURITES RUSH (SETTLED AT 100)

There was a maximum possible win for horse racing spread betting punters who bought Favourite Rush yesterday at Wetherby.

Taking place across the whole card, this market awards 10 points for one winning favourite, 20 points for two, 33 for three, 50 for four, 70 for five and finally 100 for six or more winning favourites.

With Spreadex partnering with Wetherby this year for their flat season, the starting stalls were looking resplendent with our logo across them and it was certainly a day for favourite backers.

Transitioning – sent off at 13/8 – was the only favourite not to oblige on the card, meaning the Favourite Rush market made up at 100. With the spread at 27.5-29.5 as they went to post in the first, this meant punters who bought landed a win of 70.5x their stake.

HARRIET DART v KATIE BOULTER – X-COURTS (SETTLED AT 101)

As the dust settled on the French Open, the mowers are out for the beginning of the grass season and tennis spread betting punters have already been treated to an entertaining all-British affair at the Nottingham Open.

A tasty affair eventually went the way of Boulter, but not before Dart – aggrieved at what she perceived were some poor line calls – bet the tournament referee £50k that a ball called as being in, had in fact gone out.

The referee shirked the bet, but tennis spread betting punters who placed a buy bet on X-Courts certainly came up with an ace. This spread sees the number of games in each set multiplied by each other and then added up. Boulter’s 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 win equalled to 42+24+35=101 against a pre-match spread of 47-52 as buyers netted a win of 49x 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.
