Spread betting can yield high profits if the bets are placed correctly. Most spread betting traders are successful only after creating a systematic trading plan following years of experience. Only a small percentage succeed and the majority fail. We look at the important factors for success and profitability for spread betting.
NOTE: Although popular in Europe and particularly in the United Kingdom, spread betting is illegal in the United States. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission prohibits the sale of foreign security futures products to retail investors based in the U.S. 1
Assume a stock is trading at 300 pence. But due to its illiquid nature, the bid-ask spread is wide at 290–310 pence. Because of the wide spread, a buyer who pays 310 pence for their position doesn't make a profit even if the stock jumps 3.33% to 310 pence.
Now take a similarly priced but highly liquid stock. Its spread is tighter at 298–302 pence. A buyer who pays 302 pence for the position will profit after a smaller move. Betting on instruments with tight spreads improves the potential for profits significantly.
How much total trading capital is available? How much money will be used per spread bet? How frequently will spread bets be placed? Answers to such questions help create an efficient trading plan.
Having £50,000 and blowing £25,000 on a first bet will leave you at a significant loss. With the remaining £25,000, you need to gain 100% profit just to recover your lost money. The profitability of spread betting can be improved substantially when one enters with a clearly defined spread betting plan, which is based on total capital, bet amount per sequential bet, and frequency of placing the bets.
Structuring bets properly can allow one to be profitable in the long run, even if your losing trades outnumber your winning trades. Consider Ami, who on average wins 4 of every 5 bets, while Ben only wins 1 of every 5 bets. Whose trades are more profitable?
On the surface, the answer would seem to be Ami, but it depends on bet sizing and the risk-reward scenario.
The key is placing bets in the right size given the risk versus potential reward. Losing multiple small bets for the chance of a single big win can pay off if trades are structured properly.
A UK-based spread betting firm like CityIndex offers spread betting across 45 global markets, with asset classes including stocks, indices, forex, commodities, metals, bonds, options, interest rates, and sectors.
Most novices tend to simultaneously play around in multiple markets and securities without a clear understanding. One should build expertise in a few asset classes. Attempting to generalize will lead to mounting losses.
Most spread betting firms offer a free practice demo account. Learn the tricks of the trade, backtest the structured betting plan, and practice it multiple times before jumping in with real money. Markets will remain forever, but real money lost during an initial phase of ignorant and inexperienced attempts will be difficult to recover.
Once comfortable with virtual returns, enter with real money. Start small and then expand as the betting profits increase.
Spread betting is available on leverage , which magnifies profit (and loss) exposure despite limited capital. With £100, a 10% leverage margin can allow one to make bets for up to £1,000. Leverage is a double-edged sword. It magnifies profits when a bet works favorably, but also the losses if it goes wrong.
Successful spread bettors use leverage efficiently with tight controls, while novices get tempted to take large positions and end up blowing their accounts. Controlling the leverage usage, based on a realistic availability of the capital amount, is necessary for success in spread betting.
While devising a trading plan, or while comparing performance from different trading activities, it is important to factor in the tax benefits available in spread betting. This is a very significant factor in making genuine profits.
Spread betting, though illegal in the U.S., is very popular in the U.K. and European countries. It offers potential for high profits, but most traders when they start due to inexperience. Building sufficient knowledge, selecting the right instruments, and practicing and backtesting a trading system can assist in generating profits from spread betting.

One of the most popular sports wagers is betting the point spread.
While it can be a little confusing, we're going to try and explain everything you need to know to understand point spreads and how to be successful betting on them.
In simple terms, a point spread is a bet on how much the favorite team will win by.
If the team has a minus sign, that means they're the favorite and they'll have to win by the specified number or more for you to win your bet.
If the team has a plus, that means they're the underdog and they'll have to either win the game or lose by less than the specified number for you to win.
Each team will have different odds, so make sure you're paying attention to them.
The easiest way to control the point spread is to pay attention to the days leading up to the game.
Not only will you be able to see any important information pop up, like injuries, but you'll also be able to see who the favorite is and who isn't. In addition, being able to watch the line move will give you an idea of which team you should bet on and when you should bet. If you aren't really sure how things will turn out, it's a good idea to avoid betting altogether until the next game.
The entire process of betting can be simplified by using an online sportsbook.
To begin, either create an account or log in to your existing one. Next, simply choose the sport you want to bet on and go to that page. You'll then see all of the lines and games for the upcoming days. The next thing you'll do is decide whether you want to bet on the favorite or the underdog. Once you know, go ahead and click on that team. From there, decide how much you want to bet and place it.
Keep in mind, that once your bet is placed, you can't back out.
Spread betting works by allowing the sportsbooks to make two teams that are unbalanced to be more balanced. They do this by taking points from the favored team and giving points to the underdog, both of which will be labeled by either a plus or minus. The minus means the team is the favorite and they have to win by more than the number specified. The plus means the team is the underdog and they have to either win or lose by less than the specified number. This means you can place a bet on both teams if you're confident it'll work out in your favor!
Long is when you buy and short is when you sell. There will be two boxes with numbers and these are your buy and sell boxes.
