Spread betting is a relatively simple way to trade on both rising and falling markets.
When you spread bet, you do not buy an actual share or futures contract. Instead you make a bet as to which way you think your chosen market will move.
Your stake is multiplied by each point the market moves in your favour or against you to determine your profit or loss.
