Spread betting with Sporting Index brings more exhilaration to live
sport than any other form of sports betting. Here are just a few
reasons why:
1. The more you're right, the more you win (and vice versa).
The majority of sports spread bets offer the attraction of potential big wins
(but also potential losses) based on a multiple of your stake. No other form
of sports betting comes close to offering this level of excitement.
2. It's not as risky as you might think.
Spread betting has a stigma of being risky, however this is misplaced. Like all
forms of betting, it's only as risky as you want it to be. By controlling the
size of your stake, you are controlling how much risk you are willing to take
on. It's exactly like one bettor having a £2,000 fixed-odds bet on a team
to win versus one who has £20 - it's all down to what you feel comfortable
with.
3. Bets can be closed or new ones opened at any time during live events.
Unlike a fixed-odds bet where you have to wait for an event to reach its conclusion
before receiving a payout, you have the power to take a profit on any spread
bet as soon as it becomes available (or cut your losses). While betting exchanges
allow punters to hedge their positions by laying back their selections at skinnier
odds, many exchange markets are not fast moving enough for this to happen, or
lack the liquidity to allow you to do it in the levels you might require. There
are no such limitations with us!
4. Back a team or individual to perform well or badly.
Spread betting was first to give the opportunity to bet on things not to happen,
as well as individuals and teams performing well or badly. Where else can you
bet on how well or badly Fernando Torres will play in a particular game? Or oppose
favourites without nominating who will beat them?
5. Create your own bets.
By using our unique 'Multiples' feature, you can build your own customised bets.
So you can pick two teams/players to take each other on in a mythical match bet
regardless of whether they are actually playing each other.
