How to Spread Bet on Whitbread? |
If an investor is looking to invest in companies like Whitbread then one possibility could be spread betting on the Whitbread share price.
Looking at a platform like Selftrade Markets, we can see that they are offering the Whitbread Rolling Daily market at 2335.8p - 2339.2p. As a result, an investor can spread bet on the Whitbread share price:
 Increasing above 2339.2p, or
 Decreasing below 2335.8p
Whilst spread betting on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you staked £5 per penny and the Whitbread share price moves 37p then that would be a difference to your profit/loss of £185. £5 per penny x 37p = £185.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that in contrast with futures markets, there is no closing date. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If a bet is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Decrease - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account

Whitbread Rolling Daily - Shares Trading Example |
Now, if you consider the spread of 2335.8p - 2339.2p and make the assumptions that:
- You have completed your company analysis, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the Whitbread share price will increase and move above 2339.2p
Then you might decide that you want to buy at 2339.2p and risk, let’s say, £4 per penny.
So, you make a profit of £4 for every penny that the Whitbread shares go higher than 2339.2p. Conversely, however, you will lose £4 for every penny that the Whitbread market moves lower than 2339.2p.
Looking at this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the share price moved higher then you could consider closing your trade so that you can guarantee your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 2376.6p - 2380.0p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 2376.6p. As a result, with the same £4 stake you would make a profit of:
P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (2376.6p - 2339.2p) x £4 per penny stake
P&L = 37.4p x £4 per penny stake
P&L = £149.60 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not always straightforward. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Of course, it could decrease.
If the Whitbread stock weakened, against your expectations, then you might choose to close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
So if the spread fell to 2306.2p - 2309.6p then this means you would sell back your position at 2306.2p. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (2306.2p - 2339.2p) x £4 per penny stake
P&L = -33.0p x £4 per penny stake
P&L = -£132.00 loss
