Spread betting allows you to bet, or take a position, on whatever you think a financial market will do next. The more the market moves in your favour, the more you profit, with unlimited potential. Conversely, the more the market moves against you, the more you could lose – and you may lose more than your initial deposit. However if you choose to take advantage of our risk management tools, you will know your maximum loss in advance.
