What is spread betting?
Spread betting is a tax-efficient way of speculating on the price movement of thousands of global financial instruments, including indices, currency pairs, commodities and stocks. It allows traders to make the most of market volatility and open a position on whether they think a market will rise or fall without having to buy or sell the underlying asset.

Spread betting or CFD trading?
Spread betting and CFD trading are leveraged trading products that offer many of the same benefits.
They’re similar in that they both allow you to trade on margin. This means you can open a relatively large position while putting up just a small percentage of the full value of the trade.
The main difference is how they're treated for tax.
