Spread betting on options

[formguide]

Hi, does anyone know of a spread betting firm that offers DAILY options? other than IG Index which I already know about.
Many thanks

why would any one want to spread bet options? the spread is wide enough as it is, spread betting will widen that further putting you way, way behind the curve.

let me guess. its tax free?!

im all ears!

Yeh the tax free thing is very important, but also I work as an options trader for a hedge fund and we have rules and regs that say I can't trade options etc... but can spread bet, because it is seen as more of a punt. Any ideas where I can trade daily options anyway? Spread betting or not?
Cheers

There's a thread here, somewhere, about that. Barclays Stockbrokers does it in conjunction with Financial Spreads. What they get out of it, I don't know, but perhaps it is better to go directly to Fins. Do a search and you should find it.
