If you're into spread betting, then SportingIndex should be on your list of must-visit sites. Customers can use the same account to wager on spreads and fixed odds markets, making it ideal for both serious and occasional spread bettors.

We suggest looking at both SportingIndex and Spreadex, since Spreadex is the primary competitor to SportingIndex.

If you've ever bett with a bookmaker before, you're probably familiar with normal fixed odds betting. However, spread betting is very different. The ability to purchase and sell is a key feature of spread betting. Spread betting gives you a whole new approach to wager, and although it may seem complicated at first, it's really rather easy to grasp once you get the hang of it.

Although it differs primarily in displaying spread markets rather than the more common fixed odds markets, the Sporting Index website otherwise resembles a conventional bookmaker website. Just click on "ODDS" up there on the top of the page to go to the fixed odds portion of the site.

Use the list of sports in the navigation bar to quickly identify the event you're seeking, and then use the filters to narrow down the results and peruse the available markets.

You can access Sporting Index's fixed odds by going to the 'ODDS' section, as indicated before. With the sports displayed at the top of the page and the option to use either pre-match or in-play fixed odds markets, this opens up a bookmaker-like area of the site with a separate structure and appearance. Everything is quite straightforward to discover.

While the variety of sports offered for wagering at Sporting Index isn't quite as extensive as that of a bookmaker, it's more than plenty.

Twenty distinct sports are at your fingertips, including everything from football and horse racing to basketball and baseball as well as golf and ice hockey and tennis, among many others. Compared to Sporting Index, SpreadEx offers a few more sports (24 in total), however those extra sports are often less popular ones like e-sports, handball, and volleyball.

In contrast to your average bookmaker, Sporting Index offers a wide variety of spread markets, both before and during games. If you want to wager on the spread for markets like predicting how many minutes a certain player will spend on the pitch for each goal, you can do it at Sporting Index. For instance, if a goal was scored in both the 28th and 84th minutes, the match would last a total of 112.

You can get the Sporting Index app from the app stores for free on both iOS and Android smartphones. Bet on spreads or fixed odds from your mobile device, and get access to your account and all of the site's features.

In addition to allowing you to place bets from any location, the SportingIndex app also provides a quick and secure way to access your account—facial recognition or fingerprint ID—instead of requiring passwords.

Betting on the go is made easy with the Sporting Index website, even if you don't have the app. Just open a mobile browser. All sections of the site are entirely mobile optimised, so they display flawlessly on any mobile device.
