About spread betting

Spread betting is an exciting way to bet, offering you the opportunity to back your judgment - the more right you are, the more you win and the more wrong you are, the more you lose.

Spread betting on sporting events offers you these great benefits:

  • Bet in-running - open or close a bet at any time, even after the event you are betting on has started
  • You don't have to pick the winner - you can back a team or individual to perform badly
  • The more right you are the more you win and vice versa

Spread bets are high risk products; you need deposit only a small percentage of the value of the bet. However, your losses may substantially exceed that deposit very rapidly and thus require you to make additional deposits at short notice to maintain your bets. Spread bets are not suitable for all customers. Before betting, you should ensure you fully understand the risks and seek independent financial advice if necessary.
