Spread betting

Spread betting is a complex form of gambling that is most certainly not for the inexperienced. It is the only form of gambling where you can’t necessarily control the amount of your losses, meaning that it should be approached with much care.

In summary, the ‘spread’ in spread betting is actually a range of values, which represent the bookmaker’s favoured outcome. A gambler has two options: to bet higher than the bookmaker’s spread (known as buying), or to bet lower than the bookmaker’s spread (known as selling). The amount you win or lose varies depending on the extent to which the ‘make-up’ (the number of runs, goals, minutes or points at the conclusion of the event) and the spread when the bet was placed.
For buyers, it is the higher of the two values that counts, while for sellers it is the lower of the two values.

Many markets (as spread bets are known) are offered with a stop-win loss, stop-win or maximum make up provision. These are the maximum levels that can be won or lost on an event and is used in place of the actual level if that level is exceeded.
