Flexihedge vs spread betting/ CFDs

82% of spread betting and CFD customers lose money (source: FCA).

The brokers set the price and the leverage wipes you out.

Flexihedge is the only low risk, in-control way to bet on financial markets.

Yes, of course you can lose a bet. This is not why we are low risk.

We are low risk because we offer fixed odds betting on financial markets.

No leverage is involved.

Why Flexihedge? Less risk. More control.

Fixed odds are much less risky than leverage.

Why?

With fixed odds your potential maximum loss is known in advance.

So you can’t be ‘stopped out’ or ‘wiped out’ by intraday price volatility.

And losses can’t exceed deposits.

Unlike with spread betting CFD sites. Look at their standard risk warning.

Why Flexihedge? Less risk. More control.

How do we offer more control?

1. You set the odds. It is peer-to peer. You bet on your own terms.

With spread betting and CFDs you are betting against the house at their price.

2. You can position beyond the intraday time horizon at future dates.

Whatever happens between now and then won't affect your bet. At all.

3. You are not tied to the spot price. You can bet on either side.
