INDEX BETTING / SPREAD BETTING MARKET

If you combine sports and financial, then you have Index Betting. Also known as Spread Betting, Index Betting is a form of gambling on the outcome of any event where the more accurate the gamble, the more is won while the less accurate, the more is lost.

A bet is made against a 'spread' (or index), on whether the outcome will be above or below the spread. The amount won or lost depends on the level of the index at the end of the event. The spread represents the index firms' margin.

Also, it is a tax free, cost effective alternative to traditional share trading. It allows you to speculate on the movement of stocks without using an expensive stockbroker.

It is not only versatile, by allowing you to go long (buy) or short (sell) a share, it is extremely cost effective, as you do not pay commission or fees. If you are a UK resident, your profits are tax free. Index or Spread Betting can also be used to protect investments in an existing share portfolio.

The 'spread' in the phrase Spread Betting, refers to the Sell (Bid) and Buy (Offer) price quoted by a spread betting company. The price is calculated around the live (or the estimated future) market price of a financial product.

When you spread bet, you do not buy the stock or share but instead you make a bet as to which way you think the market or share-price will move. You can bet per penny or point movement, the amount you wish to bet is known as the 'stake,' and you can be as little as one Euro per point or penny movement.
