Why you're better off with Spreadfair

"If you want to spread bet, you simply have to have a Spreadfair account"
Angus Loughran, November 2006

As Spreadfair is an exchange, clients can either take the price that is available or place an order at a better price.

Taking a price

A striking example of the value that Spreadfair offers is by looking at cricket. In a Test Match, prior to an innings starting a traditional spread firm may have a 20 run spread on Team Total Runs. On Spreadfair the spread is typically less than 5 runs prior to the innings starting.

If you are playing for £5 per run at a price that is 6 runs better than the rest of the industry, then you are saving £30 upon entry. You then close your bet at a price that is 4 runs better than the rest of the industry, saving another £20 upon exit. A total saving of £50 of spread. This means you would have to win over £1000 on the bet (200 units of profit) if you are paying 5% commission in order to be worse off with Spreadfair!

Placing orders

If you do not want to take the price, you can put an order up on the exchange. For example, if the Team Total Runs spread is 340 - 344 in a Test Match and you wanted to buy the runs, you can put up an order to buy runs at 342. This will tighten the spread to 342 - 344, then you just need another client to want to sell at 342 and the bet will be on!
