Football spread betting works by playing on a ‘spread’ or prediction on the number of things to happen in a match.
Step 1: Choose a spread market on a match. E.g. the ‘spread’ on Total Goals may be 2.8 – 3.
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 3 goals) you would buy. If lower (fewer than 3 goals) 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 nhà cái kv999
Heading into the evening’s Champions League quarter-final, you think a particularly in-form striker is going to get a bagful, so take a look at Spreadex’s Player Goal Minutes spread betting market.
Spreadex is quoting Player A Goal Minutes at 29-32, so you decide to buy £2 at 32. The striker continues their blistering run and scores a hat-trick, with goals in the 23rd, 52nd and 77th minutes. That leads to a Player A Goal Minutes make-up of 23 + 52 + 77 = 152, leading to a profit of £240 ((152 – 32) x £2).
Say, however, the striker doesn’t have such a hot night, and they only score in the 23rd minute. That means you would end up with a loss of £18 ((23 – 32) x £2).

It’s the opening game of the Bundesliga and you think a hotly-tipped player is going to flop on the big stage, so take a look at Spreadex’s Player Goal Minutes spread betting market.
Spreadex is quoting Player A Goal Minutes at 35-38, so you decide to sell £2 at 35. As you suspected, the player bottles it, failing to find the back of the net. This leaves you with a profit of £70 ((35 – 0) x £2).
Let’s say, however, that the forward does score, but in the 29th minute. That would still leave you with a profit of £12 ((35 – 29) x £2).
But what would happen if you got it wrong? The forward bags a first half brace, with goals in the 13th and 32nd minutes, leading to a Player Goal Minutes make-up of 45. That would mean you’d make a loss of £20 ((35 – 45) x £2).
In-play football bets allow you to open or close bets at any point after kick-off up until the final whistle meaning you can close out of your bets early either to take profits or to cut losses.
