LONDON--()--The principles of spread betting are quite simple. If you think a market is going to fall, you sell, if you think it is going to rise, you buy. However, when you invest capital and deal with real, unpredictable markets, it can start to become complicated.
To help clarify, spread betting provider City Index (http://www.cityindex.co.uk/) regularly runs free seminars from its London offices. The company also offers interactive webinars. Read on for the differences between spread betting seminars and webinars.
Location
Financial spread betting webinars represent a level of convenience that cannot be matched by in-house seminars. Wherever you are, as long as you have a computer and a broadband connection, you can access a spread betting webinar. Spread betting seminars can constitute a relatively lengthy journey for traders living outside of London.
Interactivity
Seminars give spread bettors ample opportunity to ask questions of the spread betting expert leading their workshop. Webinars, however, allow traders to learn spread betting at their own pace, letting them play, pause, rewind and fast forward the online video as they wish.
Duration
Whereas spread betting seminars can last anything from one and a half to three hours, the webinars on offer at City Index are only around ten minutes. This means it is not time-consuming to watch the same spread betting webinars two or three times to reinforce the information.
