SPREAD BETTING - COMPARE SPREAD BETTING FIRMS
Download to Excel
Financial Spread Betting involves speculating on whether the value of a market or a company's share price will rise or fall. An individual is not buying any shares, but betting on their movement, so traders can actually make money when prices drop. Profit or loss is decided by the placed stake multiplied by each point that the market has moved - so the amount you lose or gain is decided by the level of market movement.
