Looking for books taking Financial bets

dottom · Jul 31, 2003

Can anyone recommend books taking financial bets, such as over/under for Stock indexes, bond markets, commodities, etc.

Canbet and WSEX used to offer financial bets but I haven't seen them listed recently.

I checked out tradesports which seems promising but action seems limited. I do not like the variety of all sorts of economic reports and other events you can bet on.

Looking for recommendations. Willing to offer referral for any new books I sign up with that do referrals..

Tradesports is the only one I know of, unfortunately.

jjgold,

Thanks for the tradeodds info. The "what if" type bets with variable odds are better than the typical over/under bets, plus the variety of stock indexes and forex markets.

Now question- has anyone used tradeodds before? Are they trustworthy for large bets. Say $5k or $10k bets? I need to do some serious due dilligence on these guys.

Thanks

I have played there and they are solid. They have lots of foreign customers and have been around for years. The site uses extremely advanced software and has everthing you need. Lots of ways to deposit and withdraw including Neteller. I believe also they offer a debit card that is non us issued. Lots of advanced players there especially in the currency markets.They hedge off big bets to eliminate lots of the risk. This is the best financial site other than finspreads.com (must be uk resident). Xodds has live chat if you have questions.

Good Luck
