Guide to horse racing spread betting
Spread betting is one of the most exciting ways to bet on horse racing. It is simple and provides a rewarding test of your racing knowledge. Whether you want to bet on individual races, match bets or markets throughout the whole card, there is something to challenge you. 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 Racing?
Spread betting on horse racing has these great advantages:
- You can have an interest throughout the whole meeting, not just one race
- You can close your bets at anytime during the meeting, allowing you to take a profit or limit your losses
- You can open a spread bet after a meeting has started, allowing you to watch a few races before you decide which way you want to bet
- 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.
