In April 1992, Sporting Index was formed from humble beginnings to specialise in sports spread betting, then a rarity little known outside the dealing rooms of the business district in London. Since then they have captured over 70% of this market and in so doing earned the enviable reputation as World Leaders in Sports Spread Betting.

Sports spread betting provides you with the ultimate betting thrill and challenges your skill, judgment and knowledge of sport. Sporting Index make predictions on various aspects of sporting or topical events. You then decide whether that prediction has been pitched too high or low.

Spread betting differs from traditional fixed odds betting in the way that you can back teams/individuals/horses to perform well OR badly. It gives you the chance to take on the bookmaker's view any way you want which includes being able to oppose a favourite without nominating who will beat them.

You can also bet on a sporting event that has already started, with Sporting Index's unrivalled 'In-Running' service. Prices will be available all the way through a live game or event; even if the outcome is apparent the traders have the uncanny ability to make a price worth betting on. If a team has all but won, they will offer you a price on just how much they will win by; when the next wicket will fall or even how many runs will be scored in the session. The list is endless.

Andrew Burke, professional gambler and author of Spread Betting, is convinced about the benefits spread betting presents;

"Spread betting has changed the nature of betting. Don't underestimate the challenge, but if you do your homework, stay level-headed and bet sensibly, you really do have a chance of finishing in front."
