I was asked by my spread bet provider to stop placing convexity trades or else they will close my account and that was that.

One thing I do not understand is why did they prohibit options trades on the expiration day? The report suggests that it was a sure deal for customers to trade options on the expiration day. Alpari even suggested that trades were executed in bad faith, that customers took advantage. But what...

A lot of online casinos have links to sites like Gamble Aware :: Home or GamCare, gambling addiction, gambling problems help, support and advice, the national problem gambling organisation UK They also have tools to help overcome compulsive gambling (time limited site exclusion, limit on number...
