spread betting question

Is this a trick question?

Assuming it's not then 17.5 x Stake

180

if a train goes north for fifteen minutes... and another train goes south for ten minutes... do teacher's deserve a pay rise?

with a question like that it's probably best to have a few goes in practice mode to see if it's for you

Forget the spreads, they are potentially dangerous and stick with exchanges.

Coming up for 11 years on here asking things like that away back on the buckfast

If I bought Van Gerwin at 32.5 and the maximum points for winning the tournament are 50, then I would lose 32.5 x my stake.

Hope this helps.

Just seen that Van Gerwen runs at Beverley tomorrow

That may be incorrect if its 50 to win a tournament the usual practice may be 25 for runner up & 10 for losing semi finalists

No he would be out in the first round if I backed him.

this is actually a good thread - it's got me back into spread beting

I'm with you pumps

I had 16 years of playing on the spreads so many ups and downs.

One of the lowlights was the B+h Golf in 2000 at the start of the tournament I had bought Harrington to win. As I waited for the fourth round to start with Harrington holding a 5 shot lead and playing some fantastic golf it was going to take a collapse of immense proportions. News then came through that Harrington had not signed his first round card and so faced disqualification.

If I remember rightly it was a turnaround of about £700 for me.

One game I took a risk on was in the World Cup of 2002, Germany v Saudi Arabia. By combining Supremacy and Total Goals (Buy) Germany had to score 3 to break even. I just couldn't see them failing to get 3 so I backed them at £1000 a goal and prayed they didn't have an off day. For every German goal thereafter I was to gain another grand with no fear of paying it back. Germany won 8-0!

I will add that even though I won this bet I stopped playing the spreads several years later in a losing position. It's a tough nut to crack.
