Why spread bet?

You have strong views on the world’s financial markets – be it the price of oil or gold or whether the FTSE is going up or down.

Spread betting with ShortsandLongs.com allows you to trade these world markets like any market professional, but offers a raft of advantages over traditional trading methods.

Speculate on the movement of a multitude of financial instruments without using a broker, removing the need to pay expensive commissions or fees. We make a spread around the live, underlying market price and you can bet on whether this market will rise or fall.

This gives you the opportunity to generate substantial profits on both rising and falling markets. Spread betting therefore offers all the advantages of speculating on the stock markets and much more.
