Types of Spread Bets

At Twowayspreads, we understand that the modern trader demands flexibility and aim to cater for every need. Whether you are a day trader or investor, Twowayspreads will offer you a comprehensive choice of bets and expiries.

The different types of spread bets offered refer to when the bet will expire. When you place a bet, an expiry date will automatically be set. At Twowayspreads, we give a comprehensive range of expiries to suit varied needs.

Some markets are open ended (Rolling Bets) and others will have defined Quarter or Month end expiries, usually in keeping with Futures markets traded on the regulated exchanges. In many cases, we will quote a variety of expiries for each market giving you control over your bet based on your intended bet duration.
