What is spread betting?
You can sell (go short or short sell) if you think the price of an instrument is going to fall

In this article, we’ll cover the essentials of spread betting , including strategies, tips and examples of a spread bet. This article should guide you towards understanding if spread betting is a suitable trading method for you. Watch the video below to get started.
Spread betting is a tax-efficient* way of speculating on the price movement of thousands of global financial instruments , including spread betting forex , indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, shares and treasuries. Spread betting is one of the most common ways to trade on price action over several asset classes in the UK and Ireland. Spread betters can trade in both directions (‘buy’ or ‘sell’), and can make use of financial leverage to increase their trade exposure. With a spread betting account, you can choose between trading from home and on-the-go, as our platform is very flexible for traders of all experience levels.
With spread betting trading in the UK, you don't buy or sell the underlying instrument (for example a physical share or commodity). Instead, you place a spread bet based on whether you expect the price of an instrument to go up or down. If you expect the value of a share or commodity to rise, you would open a long position (buy). Conversely, if you expect the share or commodity to fall in value, you would take a short position (sell). You will make a profit or loss based on whether or not the market moves in your chosen direction.
With spread betting, you buy or sell a pre-determined amount per point of movement for the instrument you are trading, such as £5 per point. This is known as your spread bet 'stake' size. This means that for every point that the price of the instrument moves in your favour, you will gain multiples of your stake times the number of points by which the instrument price has moved in your favour. On the other hand, you will lose multiples of your stake for every point the price moves against you. Please note that with spread betting, losses are based on the full value of the position. See our spread betting examples for more information on how to spread bet.
The difference between the buy price and sell price is referred to as the spread. As one of the leading providers of spread betting in the UK, we offer consistently competitive spreads. See our range of markets for more information about our spreads.
Spread betting is a leveraged product, which means you only need to deposit a small percentage of the full value of the spread bet in order to open a position (also called trading on margin ). While margined (or leveraged) trading allows you to magnify your returns, losses will also be magnified as they are based on the full value of the position.
Many investors choose to spread bet on the financial markets as there are advantages of spreading betting over buying physical assets:
Before placing your trade, remember to make sure that you have followed risk-management guidelines as part of your strategy.
A spread-betting strategy is a pre-determined plan that helps you to define your market entry and exit points, and accompanying risk-management conditions such as stop-losses. When utilising a trading plan as part of your wider trading strategy, you aim to create a process in which you can monitor and forecast trade outcomes.
When trading with a spread betting account, it’s best practice to outline and follow your own trading strategy template relative to your needs. Strategy templates define a set of rules you should follow for every trade, helping you to remove emotions and irrational responses from your trading strategy. This helps to keep consistency within your trades, and can help improve your trading mindset. Visit our article on creating a trading strategy template , where you can follow an example to help define your strategy.
Every trader utilises different methods and strategies to suit their trading style. There are, however, some common spread betting tips a trader can utilise in order to maximise their trading potential:
See our article on spread betting tips and strategies , where we cover the topic in more depth.
It's a good idea to keep up to date with current affairs and news because real-world events often influence market prices. As an example, let's look at the UK government’s help to buy housing scheme.
Many believed that this scheme would boost UK home builders' profitability. Let's say you agreed and decided to place a buy spread bet on Barratt Developments at £10 per point just before the market closed.
Let's say that Barratt Developments was trading at 255 / 256 (where 255 is the sell price and 256 is the buy price). In this example, the spread is 1.
Let's assume that you opened a long position at £10 per point because you thought the price of Barratt Developments would go up. For every point that Barratts' share price moved up or down, you would have netted a profit or loss multiplied by your stake amount.
Let's say your spread betting prediction was correct and Barratt Developments' shares then rose to 306 / 307. You decide to close your buy bet by selling at 306 (the current sell price).
The price has moved 50 points (306 sell price – 256 initial buy price) in your favour. Multiply this by your stake of £10 to calculate your profit, which is £500.
Unfortunately, your spread betting prediction was wrong and the price of Barratt Developments' shares dropped over the next month to 206 / 207. You feel that the price is likely to continue dropping, so to limit your losses you decide to sell at 206 (the current sell price) to close the bet.
The price has moved 50 points (256 – 206) against you. Multiply this by your stake of £10 to calculate your loss, which is £500.

Spread betting works by traders speculating on whether a financial instrument’s price will rise or fall. Spread betters can go long (buy) if they believe the price of an asset will go up, or go short (sell) if they believe the market will start a downtrend. Learn more about spread betting .
Spread betting can be profitable, depending on multiple factors, but it’s also possible to make a loss. Most successful traders manage to make profitable trades by following a systematic trading plan, including in-depth fundamental and technical analysis, risk-management systems and several years of applicable knowledge.

If you’re interested in financial spread betting and want to learn more about it, then you’ve come to the right place. We pulled together this extensive guide to provide new traders with all the basic information they need to know about spread betting the financial markets.
It contains everything from information on how spread betting works and the markets you can trade – to different bet types and strategies – to answering questions such as “How do traders make money spread betting?” and “Can you make a living from spread betting?”
The following is a brief rundown, chapter by chapter, on what you can expect to learn from reading this guide. When you run across a spread betting topic of particular interest to you, you can just click the link to take you right to that section of the guide.
The first part of the guide gives you the reasons why spread betting has become so popular and explains what has led so many people to get involved.
It also covers the question of “What type of person is spread betting appropriate for (or not appropriate for)?” If you want to get a good idea of whether spread betting is right for you, this section can help you find the answer to that question.
This chapter explains why spread betting has become the most popular form of retail trading in the UK, and explores the many advantages that spread betting offers financial traders, such as the incredibly wide range of markets to bet on, the leverage offered that makes spread betting accessible to even small investors, and the big tax advantages that spread betting offers.
“You can find spread bets on everything from company shares and equity indices such as the FTSE 100, to options, interest rates, commodity futures, and foreign currencies (and, of course, sports!) – even property and cryptocurrencies.”
One of the keys to successful spread betting is having the proper psychological mindset for it. Here you can learn about the primary attitudes and psychological characteristics common among winning spread bettors.
“Being a successful trader takes more than just a solid understanding of the markets. It requires having a personality that, for example, enables you to handle the ups and downs of winning and losing trades, and includes the self-discipline to stick with a trading plan and avoid letting your emotions rule your trading decisions.”
In the second part of our guide, we delve into exactly what spread betting is and how it works. Learn the history of spread betting, which markets you can spread bet, regulation and protections of spread betting, and basic risk management tools you can use in spread betting.
This section walks you through the nuts and bolts of exactly how one goes about spread betting, from opening an account – to understanding trading with leverage – to picking a market, selecting a betting stake size, and placing a bet.
“Spread betting, to put it in the simplest terms, is speculating – by placing a bet – on whether a financial asset – such as a stock or commodity – will increase or decrease, rise or fall, in value.”
Here, we explain the origins of spread betting and why it has become so popular.
“Where the 1980s were lacking for spread bettors, the 1990s and beyond the turn of the century seem almost like they were tailor-made for the successful boom in spread betting.”
Learn about the extremely wide range of financial markets, both domestic and foreign, that are open to spread bettors, including stocks and stock indices, commodities, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange (forex).
“One of the primary advantages that spread betting offers individual retail investors is the ability to make money trading a wide range of financial markets…you can spread bet markets such as foreign stock exchanges, commodities, and bonds, all from the convenience of a single trading account.”
This chapter takes you through the different types of spread bets and orders that you can use in spread betting.
“One of the major advantages of financial spread betting is the wide variety of bets that spread betting companies offer their clients. There are not only a large number of financial markets to choose from, but also different types of spread bets that you can place.”
One of the keys to mastering spread betting is carefully managing your risk. Learn the risks inherent in financial spread betting, such as trading on margin and unexpected economic events, and how to use tools such as stop-loss orders to manage those risks.
“Before deciding to trade, make sure you understand the risks, the market you plan to trade, and how to use the various risk management tools offered by your spread betting provider.”
Sports spread betting is the other half of spread betting that is offered along with financial spread betting.
This chapter explains the difference between sports spread betting and traditional fixed-odds sports betting, and will help you decide whether sports or financial spread betting is for you.
“A traditional, fixed odds horse racing bet is a bet on which horse will win the race, while a spread bet can be on something like the number of lengths the winning horse beats the second-place horse by.”
Spread betting is supervised and regulated by the government. Here you’ll find the important information on which authority regulates spread betting and what financial protections spread bettors are offered.
“In order for a spread betting firm to be licensed and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to operate in the UK, it must abide by several key regulations that govern trading firms in the financial services industry.”
Spread betting is all about the spread, so it’s important to understand how spreads are set, how spread bets are priced, and how the spread works.
“To make a profit spread betting, it’s critical to understand how trading costs are built into the spread and how this potentially affects your profit margin on each spread bet.”
Having given you a lot of information about spread betting, we offer some specific spread betting examples to help you more clearly understand how buying and selling in the spread betting markets works.
“In order for your spread bet to be profitable, the price must move enough to overcome the spread. You buy at the higher spread price, the ask price, but sell at the lower spread price, the bid price.”
The final section of the guide is focused on helping you begin to hone your spread betting game, so that you can increase your chances of being profitable, while carefully managing your level of risk.
Key topics covered include common mistakes of beginning spread bettors, specific spread betting strategies, and how to make money from spread betting.
This chapter covers the importance of having a solid trading strategy and how to go about finding a strategy that’s right for you, that suits your personal trading style. It also explains some of the most popular trading strategies, such as breakout strategies and market reversal strategies.
“Using smart spread betting strategies dramatically increases your odds of being a consistently winning spread bettor. Every good, solid spread bettor relies on one or more good, solid spread betting strategies.”
In this chapter, we address the popular question of, “Can you make a living from spread betting?”, providing a realistic answer, along with plenty of practical advice on how to make spread betting your career. Also included are real-life examples of individuals who have made a fortune from spread betting.
“If you plan to make a living from spread betting, then you are, in effect, starting your own business as a spread bettor. As such, you should approach it like starting a business.”
There are a number of trading mistakes commonly made by new spread bettors. In hope of helping you avoid them, here’s a rundown on five of the mistakes most frequently made by new bettors, and advice about how you can avoid falling into these common trading traps.
“If, as a new spread bettor, you can manage to avoid the most newcomer mistakes, that will greatly enhance your chances of being a profitable and successful spread bettor over the long term.”
We’ve mentioned before how crucial managing risk is to profitable spread betting. This chapter goes into more detail on the specific risks inherent to spread betting – the risk of trading with high leverage, the risk of market volatility, and the risk of trading costs – and how to best go about managing them.
“One of the most important factors in putting together a good spread betting game, one that will generate profits for you, is practising careful risk management.”
Revealed here is a list of 10 things you can do before you start spread betting that will make you better prepared to be successful when you start actually betting real money.
“Spread betting is a form of investing, and no one would recommend that you approach investing in the financial markets without any preparation.”
The final chapter will help you out by giving you information on exactly where to go and what to do next in order to get started with financial spread betting.
