Spread betting

If they both played to the best of their ability.

Now, if the Lions don't play to the best of their ability and the Saints play to the best of their ability, it could probably be within that six-point spread.

I think the Lions got to play absolutely awful, and the Saints got to play an outstandingly great game for them to win.

Seriously.

And again, that is.

Fantasy Football, Superflex League, a Best Ball, Survivor, Weekly Spread Betting, and Weekly DFS.

Five events every week, all season long.

I love that thing.

... it's a really a jam-packed show.

And CJ Sullivan, and Speed Betting, and Sports Betting Blackjack.

Like, this is...

I don't know how we're gonna get it all in one show, Ryan.

We, it's just nonstop guests.

We got C.J. Sullivan coming up, uh, in the final hour.

He's gonna be talking division parlays and of course, uh, some speed betting.

Very fun.

Some platforms are built for day traders, others are better for long term traders.

Some specialise in CFDs or spread betting, while others give you access to futures, options or thousands of global shares.

So in this video, I'm going to explain the different types of trading platform, who they're designed for and highlight some of the winners from the 2026 Good Money Guide Trading Awards.

One important point though before we start, trading is very different from investing.

IG has been around for more than 50 years and offers access to thousands of global markets, including shares, forex, indices, commodities, ETFs and cryptocurrencies.

I've personally had an account with them for 25 years, and one of the reasons IG continues to rank so highly is that it caters for almost every type of trader.

Beginners can start with financial spread betting, CFD trading or investing, while more experienced traders can trade with direct market access and professional margin rates.

The research is excellent, execution is fast, and the platform liquidity is often better than on underlying exchanges and major assets.
