Overview: When it comes to sports spread betting the gorilla on the block is Sporting Index with approximately 70% of the UK's sports spread betting market. It launched in 1992 with just five members of staff and 50 clients. In 2000 Sporting launched the first truly interactive sports spread betting website, and now takes 80% of its bets online. If you are interested in sports spreads there is little alternative to having a Sporting account open as they offer a huge number of markets. The company is the only sports spread betting organisation to offer continuous 24 hour betting and it offers more in-running markets than any firm too.
Markets: You can open up a position on pretty much any sporting action in the UK including football, American football, US college sports, boxing, cricket, darts, golf, greyhounds, horse racing, ice hockey, politics, rugby union, rugby league, tennis and specials. If any event is televised, from ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ to any football match or general election you will find a market available. On any televised football match you will typically find over 30 different markets available from supremacy, total goals and shirt numbers to player goal minutes and bookings.
Products: In August 2001 Sporting launched a facility for clients to create mythical spread betting markets for themselves to bet on. This gives clients the ability to pit two teams or players together that are not directly facing or playing each other ie you could do so through its ‘multiples’ service: http://www.sportingindex.com/sportingindexweb/multiples/
In November 2003 Sporting launched its 'Bet on the Move' service. It was the UK's first java-based mobile betting application. Sporting clients can bet on all online markets, view open bets, close bets, deposit and withdraw money through their mobile phones. Since launch the service has been continually upgraded and is a fantastic product should you want to trade in and out of a position at a football match or on a racecourse. Any of their clients can download the service from a dedicated website at https://novoweb.mfuse.com/microsites/sportingindex/GB/web/spi/nolog/login.php
In March 2007 Sporting launched a dedicated Irish website at www.sportingindex.ie specifically for Irish customers. On the site markets on every Irish horse race as well as all live GAA matches are provided.
