Spread Betting Guide

Welcome to the UK's premier resource for Financial Spread Betting, a spread betting guide that looks to answer all your questions regarding Financial Spread Betting.

Financial spread betting is a commonly used and increasingly popular retail derivative employed to speculate which direction the share price of a stock/commodity/index will take without actually owning or purchasing any of the shares. It is now one of the United Kingdom's most popular methods of trading, and this is not surprising given that any profits are 100% free from stamp duty and Capital Gains and Income Tax. A spread bet is a contract between the client and spread betting company where the bet is based on an underlying financial instrument. Actual ownership of that financial instrument never takes place.
