Most of the people believe that spread betting is quite complicated. However, the fact is that it involves simple processes that can be easily understood.

The spread betting firm initiates the process by making a prediction about a particular aspect of the event, like how many goals would be made in a football game. You have to bet on this prediction being too high or too low. However, if you feel the prediction hits the bull's eye then you don't bet.

When you bet on the predictions you decide on the size of your betting stake which determines the amount you will ultimately win or lose. Your stake is multiplied by your negative or positive variation from the final outcome, i.e. with the factor determining how wrong or right you were.

There are three basic types of bets:

· Total number bets

· Supremacy and match bets

· Performance index bets

These bets can be made on varied types of sporting events and matches.

These bets resolved on basis of totals of various 'winner-declaring' numbers involved in the sporting events. For example football goals, cricket runs, rugby points, golf shots and many more.
