Please note that Spread betting offers many benefits, but it's important to note that it carries a high level of risk to your capital, so you should only bet with money you can afford to lose. Although automatic stops losses are allocated to every bet, these stop losses are not guaranteed and so it is possible to lose more than your initial deposit.
