The main type of financial bet is a spread bet, which is a bet on whether a share will increase or decrease in price.
The spread is the difference between the buy and sell prices of a share on a market. If a bettor thinks the sell price will be lower than the price at the time of the buy, they bet the market will fall, however, if they think the opposite, they place a wager on the market rising.
The more the share moves in the direction the bettor chose, the greater the profit it will make.
Financials Odds Betting Strategy
When it comes to spread betting, there are a few strategies one can employ to get more out of their wagers.
Bettors should look at current trends in the market to see how shares have been moving, which could indicate how they may move in the near future as well.
Using the market-reversal strategy could also help, which is finding the price point where the market is expected to change direction from the current trend. Reversal strategies are an option to help bettors take advantage of a price correction after a share has become over or underpriced.
Bettors can also use a breakout strategy. A breakout is when a share uses momentum and takes the price past the point of resistance, instead of finding a new point of resistance later on.
Prop Bets
There are no prop bets when it comes to financial betting.
