Spreadex Numbers keep Rolling

After recording best-ever overall betting figures in October, Spreadex has now hit a new milestone in the sports side of its business.

The spread betting firm saw its highest ever number of monthly sports bets placed throughout November – a 1.5% increase on its previous high in June 2008, which coincided with football’s European Championships.

Overall bets, including financial spread bets placed on the firm’s ShortsandLongs’ platform, were just a few hundred short of matching October’s record levels.

Spokesman Andy MacKenzie said: ‘In-play betting on live Premier League football is the number one attraction for spread bettors, so considering we had an international break during November we’re amazed we’ve set a new high in terms of sports bet numbers during this period.’

‘Our clients had plenty of rugby, tennis, darts and cricket to get stuck into and there was also some good racing during November, but initial evidence seems to suggest customers are enjoying their online betting experience much more since we relaunched the Spreadex website in October.’

‘The high volumes seem to be coming from a healthy mix of new accounts and returning old customers in sports, while our financial arm has also seen a surge in new business and plenty of interest in people trading gold and currencies during the past few weeks.’

Spreadex marked its tenth anniversary in October by relaunching a completely revamped www.spreadex.com website featuring dedicated pages for sports and financial spread betting customers including a host of new menus and features and reduced spreads and margins on some of its most popular markets.
