Guide to football spread betting

Spread betting is one of the most exciting ways to bet on football, and makes watching football more interesting and enjoyable. While fixed odds betting limits your betting opportunities, spread betting opens up a whole new world. Your skill and judgement determines how much you win - the more you are right the more you win and the more you are wrong, the more you lose.

Why spread bet on football?

Spread betting on football has these great advantages:

  • You can bet on the number goals, supremacy, the number of corners taken or the number of cards shown.
  • You can open and close your bets at anytime during a match, allowing you to take a profit or limit your losses.
  • You can back a team or individual to perform badly in a match or tournament.
  • There is no limit to the size of your bet. You can bet for as little as £1 up to much as you want to bet assuming you have sufficient funds to cover the bet).

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.
