BetOnMarkets is a fixed-odds betting site which you can use to back your opinions on many different financial markets.

These markets include currencies, UK and US shares, indices (like the Dow Jones and FTSE 100) and Gold.

Like a traditional bookmaker, your risk is strictly limited to your stake so, unlike spread-betting, the most you can lose is the initial cost of the bet (the Premium).

BetOnMarkets differs from a traditional bookmaker in that you may be able to sell your bet early to make a profit.

For example: You buy an "Expiry" bet to back your theory that in 4 weeks the Dow will be above 10,500. Two weeks after buying your bet the Dow is at 10,600. Your bet will now be worth more that the premium you paid for it and so you can sell it back to BetOnMarkets for a profit.

These fixed-odds bets are sometimes referred to as "digital options". This is due to the fact that on expiry, the bet is either worth the full payout (1) or nothing (0).

The advantages of using BetOnMarkets are numerous:
