It also refers to the number of numbers that are marked on a ticket. SPREAD BETTINGA type of betting derived from financial markets where the player bets on a 'spread' of numbers relating to a particular event - for example,number of corners in a football game,first throw in,points in Rugby Union, or the number of lengths between named horses at the end of the race. The Bookmaker quotes the spread: say, regarding the number of points to be scored by one side in a Rugby game, 28-30. If you think the side will score more than 30, you 'buy' at 30; if fewer, you 'sell' at 28, and stipulate your stake per point. If you buy the spread at £1 and the team scores only 25, you lose £5 - 30 minus 25 leaves 5, which multiplied by your stake is £5; if that team scores 35, you win £5.So, in spread betting the more right you are, the more you win - and by the same token the more wrong you are, the more you will lose. |
