The Virgin Spreader chronicles my journey into the world of spread betting.

This spreadbetting blog starts from day one of a novice spreadbetting career. I intend to hunt down as much advice on spread betting as possible, talk to as many professional spread betters as possible and develop a winning spread betting strategy. And I will write it all down here. If you have anything you would like to contribute PLEASE get in touch!
