Spread betting is a way to speculate on the future direction of a market’s price. If you expect an asset’s price to rise, you’d open a position to ‘buy’ and if you expect an asset’s price to fall, you’d opt to ‘sell’.
When you spread bet, you’ll be putting up a certain amount of capital per point of movement in the underlying market. Your profit and loss would then be multiplied by this amount to get your final sum.
For example, you thought a stock was going to increase in price so you opened a spread bet for £10 per point. If the stock increases in price by 10 points, you’d have made £100 (10 x 10), but if it decreased by 5 points, you’d lose £50 (50 x 100).
Spread betting is also leveraged, which means you’ll only need to put down a small initial deposit to open a trade. Your end total is then calculated using your full exposure – meaning your profits and losses could be magnified.

When you open your platform, you’ll be able to search for a market in the top left corner or browse through each asset class.
After you’ve opened the deal ticket for your chosen market, you’ll need to choose whether to buy or sell the market – depending on whether you think the asset will rise or fall in price. You’ll also need to decide on your bet size, which will determine the margin you pay.
Finally, before you enter the market, it’s important to consider how you’ll manage your risk . Attaching stops or limits to your position will automatically close your trade once it hits a certain level – a stop-loss order can minimise your potential loss, while a limit-close order can help lock in any profits.
Once you’re ready, it’s time to open your trade. You can then monitor the profit or loss of your position in the ‘open positions’ section of the dealing platform.
When you decide it’s time to close your position, you just click ‘close’ to realise your profit or loss.
Whichever market you’re interested in, it’s important to understand how much capital you’re putting at risk. For spread betting, the calculation for this is:
Capital at risk = bet size x market price (in points)
When you spread bet, the market price will be displayed in points. For example, if you were trading a forex pair, instead of a price of ‘1.12980’ you would see a price of ‘11298.0’. So, a trade worth £10 per point of movement, would mean you’re putting a total of £112,980 at risk (11298.0 x 10).
As spread betting is a leveraged product, you will only need to cover the margin as opposed to the full value of the trade. The spread betting calculation for margin is:
Margin = margin factor x total exposure.
For the above example, if the margin factor was 3.33%, you would only have to put down £3762.23 (3.33% x £112,980) to open the trade. Leverage could potentially magnify your profit and loss, as they’re calculated using the full size of your trade – in this case, £112,980 – not just the margin.
You decide to spread bet on Barclays stock, which is currently trading at 150.25. If there was a one-point spread, you would be presented with a buy price of 150.75 and a sell price of 149.75.
You open a long spread bet position on Barclays, buying at £10 per point of movement at 150.75. If Barclays shares had a margin requirement of 20%, you’d need to deposit £301.50 (£10 x 150.75 x 20%).
Let’s say Barclays shares increased to 170.75, you might decide to close your position to take your profit.
You’d close the spread bet position at the new sell price of 170.25. As the market has moved in your favour by 19.5 points (170.25 - 150.75), your profit would be £195 (19.5 x £10). You won’t pay any tax on your profits. However, you would have to pay funding charges to keep your position open overnight.
However, let’s say shares of Barclays fell instead, down to 130.25, there would be a new sell price of 129.75. As the market has moved against you by 21 points (129.75 - 150.75), you’d be looking at a loss of £210 (210 x £10), plus any additional funding charges.
You decide to spread bet on forex on EUR/USD, which is trading at £1.19129. You think that the dollar is going to rise against the euro, so you decide to sell the currency pair.
As spread betting markets are listed in points, when you enter the platform you would see a market price of 11912.9. And, because of the spread, you would see a sell price of 11912.6 and a buy price of 11913.2.
You open the trade for £15 per point at 11912.6 and as EUR/USD has a margin factor of 3.33%, you’d need to deposit £5950.35 (£15 x 11912.6 x 3.33%).
Say EUR/USD fell to 11890.1, with a buy price of 11890.4 and a sell price of 11889.8. As the market has moved by 22.2 points (11912.6 - 11890.4), you’d have a total profit of £333 (£15 x 22.2). Remember, if you’d kept this position open overnight then your total profit would be lower because of funding charges.
However, let’s say EUR/USD rises instead. So, you’d close your position at the new buy price of 11936.0. As the price has moved against you by 23.4 points (11912.6 - 11936.0), you would have made a loss of £351 (£15 x 23.4), plus any funding charges.
You want to spread bet on the FTSE 100, which has an underlying market value of 7114. We’ll apply a one-point spread, so you can sell it at 7113.5 or buy at 7114.5.
As you anticipate that the FTSE 100 is going to rise, you opt to buy at £10 per point at 7114.5. The FTSE 100 has a margin factor of 5%, you’d only need to deposit £3557.30 (£10 x 7114.5 x 5%).
Let’s say your prediction is correct and the FTSE 100 increases in value. You close your position when the market reaches 7150 – at the new sell price of 7149.5.
As the market moved in you favour by 35 points (7149.5 – 7114.5), your profit would be calculated by multiplying this figure by the amount you’ve bet per point. This gives you a profit of £350 (£10 x 35) minus any funding costs.
However, let’s say the FTSE declined in price, instead of rallying. So, you decide to cut your losses when it hits 7078 – with a sell price of 7077.5.
The market has moved against you by 37 points (7077.5 - 7114.5), giving you a loss of £370 (£10 x 37), plus any overnight funding charges if the position was open for more than one day.
You decide to spread bet on gold, which is currently trading at 1315.70, with a buy price of 1316.00 and a sell price of 1315.40. As you believe the price of gold is due to decline, you open a spread bet to sell the commodity for £30 per point of movement.
Gold has a margin factor of 5%, so you would need to put down £1973.10 (£30 x 1315.40 x 5%) to open the position.
Let’s say the price of gold did fall, down to a new price of 1300.10. You close your position at the new buy price of 1300.40.
As the market has moved in your favour by 15 points (1315.40 - 1300.40), you would be taking a profit of £450 (15 x £30). If you had kept your position open overnight, you would also have funding charges to pay.
However, if you were incorrect and the market price of gold rose instead, to 1335.70, you would have made a loss. You’d close your position, at the new buy price of 1335.40.
As the market has moved against you by 20 points (1315.40 - 1335.40), your total loss for the commodity spread bet would be £600 (20 x £30), plus any funding charges.

Spread betting is one of the most complex forms of betting. At least it seems that way until you start.
The thing that puts off your average punter is that it is extremely volatile and the potential for loss is greater than normal betting. It is for this reason that you need to understand spread betting and how it works before you get too heavily involved.
We suggest that if you start spread betting, then you are a little more knowledgeable about betting than average.
We’ll touch on financial spread betting in this post as it’s the most popular form, but we’ll focus on how spread betting works in sports.
Spread betting is hugely popular, especially among people who work in or have an interest in finance. This is because it allows easy access to speculate on the movement of financial markets. This simplified form of betting on financial markets has meant an increase in popularity for spread betting.
The variables are quite high when spread betting on financial markets. The volatility of these markets means that, without paying due care, you can lose thousands in the blink of an eye. Your investment capital can go further, but you can also lose more than you initially deposited.
It’s important to understand the risks involved and have suitable strategies in place to manage this.
Whilst financial spread betting is the most popular form of this kind of betting, it can also be done in the sports world.
The way spread betting differs from traditional betting is that you’re betting on the movement of the market rather than an event. With traditional betting, you’re betting a set amount on the market to have a defined result at a set price. For example: you’re betting on a spread for a Premier League team’s total points and the spread is set at 70. You’ll bet a set amount per point that you think their final tally will be above or below the spread.
So, if you stake £5 per point that they will achieve a higher points tally than the spread, you’ll win £5 for every point over. However, should they get a lower points tally than 70, you’ll lose £5 for every point they miss that target by.
This means that there’s the potential for high wins. However, it also means that your potential for loss can be quite high should the team fail to hit this target.
There is a mechanism that you can build into your bet to minimise losses. It’s called a stop loss. This is the point that you define in your bet that you want to cancel and take a loss.
Let’s look at how that works: you buy on a spread but the share price of the company you bought dramatically takes a hit. Your bet will be closed out at your defined price meaning you can’t lose any more than you’ve set.
The best way to answer the question ‘how does spread betting work?’ is to look at football spread betting. It’s a sport that everyone understands, and therefore it makes it easy to compare spread betting to normal betting in football.
Let’s take a more detailed look at the example we touched on earlier.
Points betting over a season is one of the most popular spread bets. The prediction from the spread betting company may look something like this:
Manchester United points: 76 – 77.5
This means they are predicting Manchester United may finish on either 76 or 77 points. The lower one is the selling price. The higher one is the price you buy at.
If you buy the spread at £10 per point, and Manchester United finish on 84 points, you will win £65. That is £10 per point and £5 for the half a point.
However if Manchester United finished on 75 points, then you would have lost a total of £25.
Should you sell Manchester United points, you’re betting that they will finish with lower than 76.
If you bet at £10 per point, and they finish on 70, then you will win £60. However, should they finish on 80 points then you lose £40.
But perhaps the long term markets take a little bit too long for you, and you’d prefer to bet per match. You can do that with spread betting too.
One of the most popular match markets to bet on is player goal minutes. The spread for a star striker will be set at something like 37 – 40.
At the end of the match, the times they scored the goals are added up. If you buy the spread, it means you’re hoping the total points are more than 40. For example, in the following situation:
Harry Kane Player Goal Minutes: Sell 37 – Buy 40
Then he scores a goal on the 15th minute and the 45th minute. These obviously add up to 60 minutes. If you bought for £10 per point at 40, then you would win £200. However, if he only scored in the 5th minute then unfortunately, your luck is out. You would lose £350. Which shows perfectly the amount of risk involved with spread betting.
There aren’t as many spread betting strategies as there are in other types of betting. At least not in the same way. But there are a few handy hints you can follow to make the process a little bit easier for yourself.
Firstly, did you know that you can close out your bets in-play for many spread betting markets?
This is because the spread moves in-play, based on what is happening during the game.
Let’s say you bet on a Total Goal Minutes market and the spread was 167 SELL – 177 BUY . You bought the Total Goal Minutes thinking there would be a lot of goals in the match. But there were a few goals in the 20th minute of the game, to give you 50 points. The line would move to reflect this.
Say it moves to 200. This gives you an opportunity to get out of your bet and make a profit. By selling at this price, you’ll make an automatic profit.
To give you an idea of what types of markets you can bet on when you’re spread betting, here’s a list of the most common football markets, along with a brief explanation of how they work.
A supremacy bet is where the spread betting firm predict how dominant one team will be over another. This is where they set a spread based on how many goals a team will beat another by.
If you feel that Tottenham will win, you can buy them at 0.4 goals for a stake of £10.
When Tottenham win with a 5-1 scoreline, their supremacy is 4 goals. This means the actual result was +3.6 and you won £36.
This is where the spread predicts the time of the first goal in the match. They may set a spread of 19-22, and favour the first goal being scored in the first half.
However, expecting a quiet first half, you buy this for £10 per point. Eventually, during the match, the first goal is scored in the 32nd minute.
Given the 10 minute discrepancy, you win 10x your £10 stake giving you a profit of £100.
Total corners is an interesting spread betting market and gives you another angle to consider. The spread states how many corners they think will be taken by both teams during the match.
If a lot of corners are expected, the line might be set at 14.5 – 15 corners. You may feel that this is too high so decide to sell at 14.5 for a stake of £10.
But bad news: during the game, records were broken and there were 35 corners during the match. This would give you a whopping loss of £205. Ouch!
This is one of the more fun spread betting markets. It takes a lot of research and a big sprinkling of luck to have success with this market.
At the end of the game, the shirt numbers of all the goalscorers in the market are added together.
For argument’s sake, the spread betting firm may set the spread at 52-56.
Noticing the star striker likes to stand out and has the number 88 on his shirt, you buy at £10 per point.
However, disaster strikes, and after many missed chances, the game finishes 0-0. You run up a loss of £560.
Spread betting can be exciting because the ceiling for profit is quite high. However, this is why some people can also get carried away.
So during your spread betting journey, make sure you follow these rules to keep your losses to a minimum.
While spread betting can be fun, unfortunately, it can also be quite costly. It’s hard to get serious with spread betting and follow any real strategy. Unless you’re well into the financial markets and really know your stuff. And that can take A LOT of time and effort…
Something which doesn’t require as much time and effort, though, is matched betting. Now, it’s nowhere near as on-the-edge-of-your-seat as spread betting, but it’s sure as hell a lot more profitable. And the profits you do make from matched betting are completely tax-free.
Bookmakers are in a constant fight to try and win customers due to the never ending growth of the industry. They offer free bets and other promotions to attract sign ups. Matched betting is a process where you can turn these free bet offers into real money. Money that goes from the bookmakers’ pockets, straight into your account.
The great thing is that anyone can do it, from university students to stay at home parents. You don’t have to be a sports fan. Hoards of people are profiting from this and earning anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds within the first few months.
