Spread Betting

Financial spread betting is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional share dealing. It is a high risk investment and should only be considered if you fully understand the risks involved. Your capital is at risk - you could lose some or even all of it.

Essentially, financial spread betting enables you to bet on whether you predict a market or product will rise or fall. You do not actually buy or own the product or market that you have chosen to bet. However the profit (or indeed loss) comes from the difference in price bought and the price sold, or rather your prediction for the movement of the prices within the underlying investment.
