How to Spread Bet on Bradford & Bingley Shares?

As with many financial markets, you can spread bet on the future price of equities, like Bradford & Bingley shares, going up or down.

As it stands the Bradford & Bingley (March) spread is 291.7p - 293.0p with paddy power trader. This market expires on 18-Mar-08.

Therefore you can spread bet on Bradford & Bingley shares settling:
  • Higher than 293.0p, or
  • Lower than 291.7p
By the expiry date for this market, 18-Mar-08.

With UK equities trading, you trade in £x per penny, where a penny is 1p of Bradford & Bingley share price movement. Eg if your stake was £10 per penny and the Bradford & Bingley shares move 5p then that would be a £50 difference to your profit/loss.

Bradford & Bingley Example

Let's say, taking the above spread of 291.7p - 293.0p, that you have done your market research and think that the Bradford & Bingley shares will increase above the 293p mark by 18-Mar-08.

Therefore you buy at 293p for a stake of, let's say, £5 per penny.

And so let's say that by the settlement date the market closes at 311p. If so your profit / loss is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of 311p and the price you bought the spread at, 293p and then multiplying that by the stake per penny of share price movement.

Profit / loss = (311p - 293p) x £5 per penny stake.

Profit / loss = 18p x £5 per penny stake.

= £90 profit.

However had Bradford & Bingley shares gone down and closed at a lower value of 282p, then you would have lost.

Profit / loss = (282p - 293p) x £5 per penny stake.

Profit / loss = -11p x £5 per penny.

= -£55 loss.
