Yeah, I think the 'Spread' that Mr J is referring to is more an American term and I prefer to call it Line betting.

Moeee, I'm not totally sure, but I think the Spread betting that you're referring to may also be called 'Index' betting in some places. Anyway, it hasn't really caught on here and I can understand why. If your tips end up being a fair way off the mark, it can be VERY costly. I certainly wouldn't bet that way.
