back after a long break having figured this isn't for me, in truth I find racing far easier. I am reasonably educated and streetwise, so would prefer not to be called a dummy etc. anyway I keep noticing races sponsored by a binary organisation, so eventually I had a look at the website. iit...

Longer periods I guess, I'm tempted to buy June Dow today for example. Zenda you look cute & what a sense of humour!

Don't we like rule Australia? So what's this visa stuff?

The Nikkei bit me, so, I need help. I want to SB indices, markets commodities. What do I need to read?

You seem to like typos on here, whatever turns you on. But I'd be a bit concerned on your day trades, eg Saudi Arabia suddenly announces an oil embargo, Dow plunges 2000 points, you are on an up bet? Maybe it couldn't happen so quickly?

Don't you set a stop loss in case the worst happens? Not sure what the worst possible might be, most likely in a buy situation. You all probably heard the Monaco Grand Pris spread bet anecdote, there is no overtaking more or less, race a foregone conclusion, matey bets £360,000 to win £3000 in...

Any stats on which are the more successful up or down bets?

Thanks, do you find day trades more proftable or maybe less traumatic or both?

I read a mainly hores race betting book by a guy who dabbled in spreads when they first started. He said he expected to break even, the reality was he made about £35k, from his experiment - he couldn't believe it. The mechanics in a financial market are it is roughly a 50/50 chance up/down...

Anyone recomend a good book to start me off? An if anyone says "Timeform" I outa here.

Let's call it a draw, and say that nobody here knows why the spread firms have the advantage/beat 95% of players. I don't think I'm the one with ego problem, my post was both truthful & a bit tongue in cheek.

Thanks for the replies, my own experiences were just a bit of brackgound to the main question which is why the spread firms have the advantage? Thus far we have a law of physics and cos I'm a smart arse who deserves to loose. I'cve read quite a bit of stuff here, the kindest description might...

My record thus far is: Dow bet won £1350 Dow bet lost £1650 Nikkei bet lost £500 Dow bet won £260 Nikkei bet running bought out of money - eek - still 130 points to break even Dow bet won £10 The Nikkei bets were following a partners advice and were a bit daft, but I seem to be learning...

It seems to me that the odds ought to be in the punters favour in spread betting financial markets. The punter can choose when to enter, exit, & stake. The spread company chooses none of these. With a large bank and small stakes it ought to be possible to consistently win - open a bet, it goes...

Yeh the USA would be much better. We've sunk our own money in thus far, and now need a further source & possibly an MD who has taken a start up through to sale. It has been a long hard slog & I don't think we would repeat it. The rewards/potential are quite awesome. I am going to explore the...
