Spread betting is just another form of gambling really. I wouldn't call it investing as you do not acrue any assets. It's a bit like betting on black or red on a french roulette wheel.
With spread betting it is a risk!
all or nothing.
Shares are not. They may go up or down but rarely totally wipe out.
but can wipe out your entire investment if it doesn't.
