1. Financial spread betting offers a great deal of leverage. It means you need considerably less money to invest/trade your shares or any other market you want. But it's important to remember that leverage can be against you if you abuse it.
2. Taxes. Yes, financial spread betting is absolutely tax free, you don't even need to report any profits/losses you make from spread betting. So if you're serious about trading then you should consider spread betting for the tax purposes.
Spread bets have become very popular especially in the United Kingdom because they aren't subjected to taxes or stamp duty. If you don't really know much this thread will explain the basics.

For instance, if you bet on the Sterling pound depreciating as compared to the American dollar and you have it right, you make money based on the following rule.
Financial spread betting might be a tax efficient and the right instrument to use in the UK and Ireland but witiout knowledge it can be disasterous.

Yes, it could be good and benefit you but once you lose control of the leverage you might run into serious troubles. Make sure you treat leverage with respect and remember... it can hurt.

1. Over-leveraging.
Probably the most common mistake out-there - don't over leverage; yes, potential returns might be tempting but you want to use spread betting as a trading platform rather than a gambling one so keep your leverage in check.

2. Over-trading.
Over-trading is another common mistake novice spread bettors make. Don't trade just for the sake of trading but spend more time learning and analysing your potential positions. More learning = more profit.

CFDs vs Options

Contracts For Difference vs Spread Betting
By far the greatest advantage of financial spread betting over CFDs is the tax treatment as spread trading involves no CGT on the profits you make from trading the financial markets. Both options are stamp duty exempt.

1. Don't over-leverage. Leverage is one of the pillars of financial spread betting and should be treated with caution; it can amplify your profits but it can do the opposite as well if not treated with respect.
Keep your leverage in check.

2. Don't over-trade. Just because spread betting is available 24/5, it doesn't mean you should trade all the time and make as many trades as possible.
Do your own research and only trade when you think it's the right time.
Control your trading risks.
