If you felt like there was no sport on during April – well, you’d be wrong! There were still some major make-ups on offer last month, you just had to do some digging (or take a virtual trip to Belarus). So what were the top 5 spread bets of April 2020?

5. BATE Borisov v Rukh Brest, Belarusian Premier League
Date: 04.04.20
Market: Multi Bookings (1st Half Booking Points x 2nd Half Bookings Points)
Make-up: 1,200
Initial spread: 540-640
Potential profit: 560 x initial stake

There will be betters who, previously ignorant of the Belarusian football, will have become intimately familiar with the workings of the country’s Premier League across April.

Slotting in at no. 5 is a clash between BATE Borisov – like the only Belarusian team anyone could name before last month – and Rukh Brest, one that saw 8 yellow cards handed out. With 6 in the 1st half and 2 in the 2nd, that led to a Multi Bookings make-up of 1,200. Buy at a starting price of 540-640, and that’s 560 times your initial stake.

4. Jason Askew v Rob Collins, Modus Icons of Darts
Date: 15.04.20
Market: Highest Checkout x Total 180s
Make-up: 1,020
Initial spread: 308-348
Potential profit: 672 x initial stake

The only non-football entry on this list comes from the Modus Icons of Darts, which continues to be live-streamed on Youtube.com.

When Jason Askew (virtually) met Rob Collins in the 2nd of their 4 head-to-heads, the highest checkout managed was 170. Meanwhile, there were 6 180s in total. Multiple those numbers together and you get a make-up of 1,020. Take off a starting spread of 308-348, and that’s 672 times your initial stake.

3. Isloch Minsk v Slavia Mozyr, Belarusian Premier League
Date: 18.04.20
Market: Total Goal Minutes x Corners
Make-up: 3,408
Initial spread: 1,150-1,275
Potential profit: 2,133 x initial stake

Returning to the Belarusian Premier League, Isloch Minsk beat Slavia Mozyr 2-1 back on April 18th. On paper, nothing too exciting.

However, with the goals coming in the 63rd, 73rd and 77th minute, and 16 corners across the entire match, you come away with a Total Goal Minutes x Corners make-up of 3,408. Factor in the opening spread of 1,150-1,275 and you end up with 2,133 times your initial stake.

2. Arsenal Dzyarzhynsk v Oshmyany, Belarusian First League
Date: 18.04.20
Market: Goals x Corners x Bookings
Make-up: 6,045
Initial spread: 1,550-1,700
Potential profit: 4,345 x initial stake

Staying in Belarus, but stepping down a league, hosts Arsenal Dzyarzhynsk lost 3-0 to Oshmyany on April 18th.

Though 3 goals is nothing to write home about, nor is 13 penalties, 155 Bookings point – the game featured 3 red cards – is something a bit special. Multiple those numbers together and you get a make-up of 6,045. Buy at a starting price of 1,550-1,700, and that’s 4,345 times your initial stake.

1. Lokomotiv-Pamir v Khatlon, Tajikistan Higher League
Date: 26.04.20
Market: Shirts x Bookings (Total Shirt Numbers x Total Bookings Points)
Make-up: 11,210
Initial spread: 5,100-5,600
Potential profit: 5,610 x initial stake

Finally, we venture out of Belarus to Tajikistan, for a battle in that country’s Higher League.

When Khatlon beat Lokomotiv-Pamir 3-2, no. 10 Khudoydod Uzokov scored a hat-trick for the visitors, while no. 18 Azizbek Khasanov got the hosts’ first goal. Most importantly, however, no. 70 Shakhrom Sulaymonov got their 2nd, pushing the Shirts total to 118.

And with Bookings hitting 95 – in large part to Mahmud Pirov’s 2nd yellow – you get a massive Shirts x Bookings make-up of 11,210. If you’d bought at a starting spread of 5,100-5,600, you would have won an April-topping 5,610 times your initial stake.
