So how does Spread Betting work?

Think of the typical type of bet you will be able to place with a sports book. You are basically limited to wagering on whether such or such team/horse/player will win the game, score the most points, or so on. With spread betting you are able to gamble on the accuracy of your bet. Let's use the following example to explain how the accuracy of your bet will determine how much you could potentially win or lose

Just imagine you wanted to place a bet on how many corners there will be in a Premiership football match between Manchester United and Arsenal. The spread betting company will provide you with a spread that is basically the number of corners they feel is the most likely of occurring. If this spread was 7-8 then this means they think that 7-8 corners in this particular match is the most likely. Your job then is to choose whether there will be more, or fewer corners in the match.

When making your decision on which way this match will go you have two decisions: Buy or sell? If you think there will be more than 8 corners within the match then you should buy. If on the other hand your opinion is that it there is more likelihood in there being fewer than 7 then you should sell. So if you bought at £5 per point and there were 9 corners you would win £10 (9-7 x £5). If you sold then for every corner less than 7 you would win £5. For example if there were 6 shots your winnings would be £5.
