What is Spread Betting?
Spread betting is a derivatives product that allows you to trade on the price movements of thousands of financial markets including indices, shares, currencies, commodities and more.
With spread betting and CFD trading, you can choose to bet that the market will rise, or alternatively, you can bet that it will fall. If you are correct and the market moves in your favour, you will make a profit of your stake multiplied by each point that the market moves in your favour. If you are wrong you will make a loss of your stake multiplied by each point that the market moves against you.
