Anyone know of a decent brokerage here in the US that allows call options on the London exchange?

I've only dabbled in options, but now that I sit here with some money in hand that is not doing anything, I want some options on sportingbet and partypoker. Considering neteller. Would only take BOS at a very bargain price.

hi. dont think so almost all options are on the listed exchanges here. there may be so oldtime put and call brokers around but the spreads are usually to wide. Will try and check and get back to you. i think there are some poker stocks trading on the us exchanges. try and get back tonight. heart222

You would be much better off opening an account with one of the spread betting firms:

Cantor Index
IG Index
FinSpreads

are just some of the names that spring to mind. They specialize in UK market making and have much tighter spreads on puts and calls than any US broker will offer you. They also tend to have lower margin requirements. You can also trade a CFD with them, which is low margin with a lot of upside.
