Spead Betting

Bet smarter

Why not consider a betting tool using odds comparison services who publish odds for all major sporting and social events. Odds comparison services will compare the data collected from all the major betting parteners online and allow you to find the event you are after and show the best prices. The returned prices can be quite surprising as bookies opinions can vary quite a bit. Once you have your information just place your bet. With one of the odds services you do not even have to leave the website you are at, it is all taken care of for you, how about that for a service. To be able to use these features you will need to open an account with an odds service first. This has to be better than joining up separately with over a dozen online bookmakers and having to enter your details over and over again.

What is Spread Betting?

Spread betting challenges your skill, judgement and knowledge of your chosen area. The spread betting bookmaker makes predictions on various aspects of sporting or topical events. You then decide whether that prediction has been pitched too high or too low. Unlike, fixed-odds gambling the more correct you are the more you win on a single bet, however you may lose more than your original stake.

Compared to fixed odds betting, spread betting is more flexible. Not only can you bet before the start of an event, but with spread betting you can also bet on markets during play - known as 'in-running'.

You may also settle or 'close' a bet before the end of play, to take an early win or restrict a loss. With spread betting you don't just have to bet on something to win. You may choose to go lower on a prediction and in effect back something to lose or do badly.

Challenge the Predictions

Sports spread betting provides you with the ultimate betting thrill. It challenges your skill, judgement and knowledge of sport. A sports spread betting bookmaker, makes predictions on various aspects of sporting or topical events. You then decide whether that prediction has been pitched too high or too low.

You will notice that predictions are presented in the form of two prices. This is a range known as the 'spread' and you bet low (also known as a 'Sell') at the first named price and if you wish to bet high (also known as a 'Buy') you would do so at the second price.

For example, if someone asked you to guess their age, you might say 'somewhere between 35 and 38 years old'. In the same way, when a prediction is made, a range is allowed. If you were betting on this prediction you would bet low at 35 years or bet high at 38 years.

How do I win or lose?

What you win or lose depends on the stake size you choose and how right or wrong you are. Bookmakers might predict that the 1st goal in a match between Liverpool and Manchester United will be scored in the 36th minute and consequently set a spread of 35 - 37 minutes.

One client who believes there is bound to be an early goal goes LOW at 35 minutes, while another who thinks that both defences will be at their best goes HIGH at 37 minutes. If the 1st goal is scored in the 25th minute, the client who went LOW at 35 minutes wins 10 times his stake (35 minutes take away 25 minutes = 10) while the client who went HIGH at 37 minutes loses 12 times his stake.
