FINANCIAL BETTING
Betting online offers more and more interesting ways to be such as financial betting. Many people who prefer trading, forex or finance rather than sports, now have the possibility of testing their skills and bet online on such type of markets using the services of the greatest and most popular online bookmakers.
Who would have thought a couple of years ago that online betting will become so complex that you will be able to trade commodities, market indices and forex? Nowadays, the financial markets are very well represented at most popular online bookmakers, such as William Hill, Ladbrokes, Bet365 and Paddy Power.
In terms of financial betting, some online bookmakers can provide several variations. For example, Ladbrokes offers a type of financial fixed odds, which means that you have the possibility of placing a bet if a product can go above or below a predetermined level. There are 3 more types: moving odds and moving binary (the odds are changing, but the levels remain the same), static odds and static binary (the odds remain the same, but the levels are changing), range odds and range binary (both levels and odds are changing).
Ladbrokes is a pretty good option for betting on financial markets because it offers indices markets (UK 100, US 30, Germany 30 Index, US 500 Index, France 40 etc.), currencies markets (Sterling/Dollar, Euro/Dollar, Dollar/Yen etc.) and commodities markets (silver, gold, oil etc.). It also has a free 5 GBP match bet, excellent tutorials and even the possibility of playing for FREE for 2 minutes in order to get used to financial betting before making a deposit.
William Hill also has a dedicated section for financial betting, which seems to be more complex and attractive than the Ladbrokes financial section. First of all, William Hill has two excellent welcome bonuses: a 25 GBP financial betting free bet and a iPhone App Risk Free 5 GBP bonus. William Hill delivers fixed odds betting and binary betting for all the popular instruments: commodities (gold, silver and oil), Forex (AUD/JPY, AUD/USD, EUR/JPY etc.) and market indices (only Germany 30, UK 100 and Wall St).
Bet365 doesn't have any welcome bonus for financial betting, but it offers a really fast and well-organized platform where you can enjoy financial fixed odds betting on popular indices, such as FTSE or Wall St and Currency Pairs (FX).
Gamebookers really manages to impress because, unlike other online bookmakers, has some interesting financial markets to bet on. It offers financial fixed odds and binary betting for many types of markets: commodities (Brent, gold, Nymex and silver), shares (BP, Barclays, Rio Tinto and Vodafone), indices (9 indices, including India 30, US 500, UK 100 and Canada 60), FX (10 currency pairs, including some of the most popular ones like AUD/USD, EUR/GBP) and Multi Bet, Poker and Roulette (yes, these types of market are available in the financial betting section).
