I think there are some near equivalents at Betonmarkets - Long strangle close to an "Expiry Miss" and short strangle close to an "Expiry range" - not sure what's on offer from other providers.

It is betting and the house ALWAYS wins. For example, a coupla days back, the India 50 market budget was scheduled for release. A 120 point move usually has the risk reward ratio of 1:50. However, I saw IG markets move it from 1:12 (already high) to 1:4 in a matter of 4 minutes with no change in the underlying price!

Ig know there is major news due and they will set it higher than the usual 1:50, say 1:12.

Then a rush of IG clients all betting the same way will push the price further to 1:4..

The price/volatility of a binary option seems to be set by a combination of

The option pricing model,
Manual intervention by IG (due to volatile news events etc),
Client order flow.
