Politics spread betting is a way of betting on a 'spread' or prediction of outcomes to happen in a match. Step 1: Choose a spread market on a match. E.g. the 'spread' on Party A Seats may be 320-328.Step 2: Decide if you think the final outcome will be higher or lower than the spread.Step 3: If higher (e.g. more than 328 seats) you would buy. If lower (fewer than 320 seats) you would sell.Step 4: Your profit or loss depends on the difference between your buy or sell level and the final outcome, multiplied by your stake.

To place a politics spread bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question. If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread. If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread. The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.
It is the eve of the US presidential election, and you think Candidate A is going to sweep the board, so take a look at Spreadex’s Candidate Electoral College Votes spread betting market. Spreadex is offering a Candidate A Electoral College Votes spread of 243-253. You buy £2 at 253. Candidate A manages a resounding victory, with 304 Electoral College votes, leaving you with a profit of £102 ((304 – 253) x £2). Even if Candidate A managed a lower Electoral College tally of 286, you would still make a profit of £66 ((286 – 253) x £2). But if Candidate A were to lose the election, and only manage 206 Electoral College votes, you’d suffer a loss of £94 ((206 – 253) x £10).
