Not an expert on trading, but I am pretty sure you would need to get someone to lend you some NMC.  Then sell that NMC at the highest price you can,  wait for the price of NMC to go down, purchase back the coins and repay your lender.  The coins gained would be considered a short.  Again not an expert, hope that helps. :)

By shorting I assume betting that the value of NMC will go down hence spread betting.

From what I've seen there are no sites offering this, the exchanges only let you buy or sell so I am not sure if this is possible.

That would be shorting the old fashion way. Only problem is that what if they intentionally make themselves unavailable during a spike...

I want to trade on a liquid market... :)

Is anybody else actually able to execute orders for NMC on btc-e's MT4?

I can for all the other offered pairs, but not for NMCUSD...
