Title: Re: 2013-04-09 IGMarket provides trades for Bitcoin Post by: solex on April 10, 2013, 07:05:09 AM Don't get too carried away. Spread betting is just a form of gambling, not an investment strategy. You can't get delivery of bitcoins from this, as you can with futures and options.

CFD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_for_difference) are quite peculiar financial instruments. CFDs are very abstract derivatives, there is often no exchange of the underlying asset in anyway whatsoever. |
