Description:
Having seen the merits of spread betting, for a while I remained sceptical, nervous of the possible risks and technical jargon. Andrew Burke addresses this in his book, explaining the vagaries of the medium to newcomers while also proffering useful advice to the hardened spread punter.

The author ensures all players are warned of the risks inherent in this form of betting and offers some sensible advice concerning various damage limitation exercises you can perform in order to minimize such risks. There is also plenty of space devoted to discussing the mechanics of the betting and how to spot potentially profitable trades.

There are no get-rich-quick schemes on display here, merely sound common sense and solid reasoning, designed to put spread punters into a position where they can get maximum enjoyment out of their pastime. Both as a novice and now as an experienced player of the spreads, I considered this book essential reading.
