About Spread Betting: Spread betting has been around for over 25 years and is a tax-efficient alternative to holding direct shareholdings. In the United Kingdom, financial spread betting is very popular because profits are tax-free and stamp duty is not applicable as opposed to conventional share dealings. Also, since spreadbets are traded on margin, it provides retail investors access to leverage.

The way it works is best demonstrated by an example: the spread betting broker will quote a buy and sell price, say on the Dow Jones - the difference between these two prices is denoted as the 'spread'. If you believe that the Dow will rise, you 'buy' (i.e. go long) at say GBP10 a point (that's GBP10 per point the index moves). If you allow your spreadbet to run until the end of the trading session and the Dow does rise, your profits would amount to the difference between the closing price and the opening price you were initially quoted. If you wanted to bet that the market will fall, you would "sell", hoping that it would drop below the quoted level.
