What is Spread Betting?
Speculate on Price Movement, Without Owning the Asset
Spread betting lets you go long or short on thousands of global markets — forex, indices, shares, and commodities — using leverage. You never own the underlying asset; you simply bet on whether the price will rise or fall. Your profit or loss is the difference between your opening and closing price, multiplied by your stake.
With Spread Co, you can now set your stake as low as £0.01 per point — 100× finer than before — giving beginners and experienced traders alike granular control over position sizing and risk.
