Britain Clamps Down on Financial Spread Betting

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Spreadbetting is not my bag, but it's hardly surprising to hear 80% are losing money in the process. I'm surprised they seem surprised by the figures.

You've got to overcome the spread (or vig) in the first case and we have discused recently on the casino hold thread of recirculating your money continually against the vig can grind you down. Then you have the usual story about people going bust overbetting their bankroll. The spread betting company (or again could read casino) has the funds to just sit and wait until you make too bad a play which costs you too much.
