Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot is probably the finest horse racing meeting in the world and there are a vast number of spread bets available which offer so much more than traditional fixed odds betting.
Visit the Sporting Index website to have a look at the number, and the types of bets that are available. You can back for or against a particular horse, jockey, trainer etc and make bets on an individual race, an individual days racing or the Festival as a whole. In addition, the big benefit of spread betting is that your selection doesn't have to win for you to win. Providing it does better than expected, you can win some handsome returns.
