Spread Trading is where you are trading the difference between two closely correlated products, or delivery months. So December Oil Vs January Oil. Or US bonds vs European Bonds.

Spread betting is trading through a spread betting company which is essentially a bookmaker that will quote you two prices, one you have to buy at, one you have to sell at. this "spread" is their commission.
