Peter Wright’s journey to the World Championship, a nasty clash in Serie A and some big rugby make-ups all feature in the Top 5 Spread Bets of December 2019! But how much could you’ve won?

5. Cardiff v Pau, 2019/20 Challenge Cup
Date: 07.12.19
Market: Josh Adams SMM (Try Minutes are doubled for 2nd, tripled for 3rd)
Make-up: 349
Initial spread: 64-69
Potential profit: 280 x initial stake

In a thumping victory over their Pool 5 rivals, Cardiff Blues beat Pau 54-22. The spine of that victory was a hat-trick from Josh Adams, making a serious impact in his debut for the club.

Scoring in the 13th, 51st and 78th minutes, the 24-year old Welsh international – who, remember, was the top try scorer at the 2019 World Cup – ended the game with a SMM make-up of 349. Take away a starting spread of 64-69, and that’s 280 times your initial stake.

4. Clermont v Bath, 2019/20 Champions Cup
Date: 15.12.19
Market: Match Multi-Points (1st Half Points x 2nd Half Points)
Make-up: 1296
Initial spread: 756-811
Potential profit: 485 x initial stake

Bath are not having a fun time of it in the Champions Cup, without a win after 4 games. Their most recent defeat came in Clermont, where the French hosts – who aren’t doing too well domestically – battered the Somerset side 52-46.

The game was over by the end of the 1st half, with Clermont leading 40-14. Times those 54 points by the 24 scored in the 2nd half, and you get a Match Multi-Points make-up of 1296 against an original spread of 756-811. That’s 485 times your opening bet.

3. Peter Wright v Luke Humphries, PDC World Darts Championship
Date: 29.12.19
Market: Highest Checkout x Total 180s
Make-up: 3230
Initial spread: 2579-2719
Potential profit: 511 x initial stake

En route to his first ever PDC World Darts Championship, Peter Wright and his mohawk put in some fantastic performances, including against Luke Humphries in the quarter-finals.

Snakebite was on top form, including a mighty fine checkout of 170. Multiply that by the 19 total 180s seen across the match and you get a Highest Checkout x Total 180s make-up of 3230. Take off an admittedly high initial spread of 2579-2719 and you still get 511 times your original stake.

2. Trabzonspor v Kayserispor, Super Lig
Date: 28.12.19
Market: Goals x Shirts
Make-up: 1280
Initial spread: 464-514
Potential profit: 766 x initial stake

Stuck at the very bottom of the table, Kayserispor are Super Lig’s routine whipping boys, conceding 42 goals in just 17 games. Half a dozen of those came in their trip to Trabzonspor at the end of December, a fixture they lost 6-2.

Braces for no. 11 Alexander Sorloth and no. 19 Daniel Sturridge alongside a strike from no. 61 Abdulkadir Parmak helped push the Goals x Shirts make-up to 1280. Compare that to the opening price of 464-514, and you get 766 times your initial stake.

1. Lecce v Genoa, Serie A
Date: 08.12.19
Market: Multi Bookings (1st Half Bookings Points x 2nd Half Bookings Points)
Make-up: 4000
Initial spread: 775-895
Potential profit: 3105 x initial stake

Desperate for a win, 20th place Genoa found themselves up 2-0 at Lecce, only to collapse in the 2nd half, ending with 9 men and just one point.

It was a nasty affair all told, with 4 cards in the first 45 minutes followed by another 100 Booking points after the break, including 2nd yellows for Kevin Agudelo and Goran Pandev. That leaves you with a Multi Bookings make-up of 4000 against an initial spread of 775-895 – in other words, a whopping 3105 times your original stake.
